Simplifying Employee Schedule Information

You can adjust the employee row to display employee schedule information in a single color coded bar, instead of the 3-layer approach. You can do so using the IDV_DISPLAY_SCHED_IN_ONE_LINE parameter. For more information about this and other MVS-specific registry parameters, see the Registry Parameter Reference Guide.

3-Bar Display versus 1-Bar Display

To see the difference between the two modes of display, consider the following scenario:

  • Employee A is available between 07:00 to 19:00
  • Employee A is scheduled to Activity X from 9:00 to 12:00 (activity X = meetings)
  • Employee A has a lunch break from 12:00 to 13:00 (activity = lunch)
  • Employee A is then scheduled to Activity Y from 13:00 to 15:00 (activity Y = cleaning)
  • The shift pattern for that day is 09:00 to 17:00
