This tab is part of the Equipment Occupancy Chart’s Style editing dialog. It allows you to control the contents of the chart.

Specification Choices / Comments

Show Operation Detail

If checked, then the smallest task bars on the equipment occupancy chart represent operation durations. In other words, procedure bars are broken up to operation bars. If unchecked, then the equipment occupancy chart only displays solid procedure activity bars.

Show Cycle Detail

When operation details are not shown (see above), then if this box is checked, the procedure’s activity bar will be broken down to each individual cycle (if the procedure has more than one cycles). If the box is not checked, then each procedure’s bar will be solid representing all cycle times together.

Show Idle Bars Between Operations

This option is only available if the ‘Show Operation Detail’ is checked. If checked, then there will be idle bars displayed between operations that don’t start back-to-back. Note that idle bars are shown by default with fill-in color, but if you wish to have them stand out better in your chart, you can assign another color of your choice, see Equipment Occupancy Chart Style: Bar Style Tab.

Show Idle Bars Between Procedures

When multiple procedures are hosted by the same equipment resource, and if there is waiting time between them, an idle bar will be shown if this option is checked.

Show Overalps per Procedure (not Operation)

If this option is checked, then conflicts for overlapping activity times sharing the same equipment resource will be checked at the procedure level. If individual operations happen to have overlapping times within the same procedure, those are not considered conflicts and are ignored.

Ignore Overalps Between Operations in Same Unit Procedure (UP)

Shown only if “Show Overalps per Procedure (not Operation) is un-checked.
In the at case, conflicts for overlapping activity times sharing the same equipment resource will be checked at the operation level. If the box is checked then if two operations are found to have overlapping times but the operations are part of the same procedure, they are ignored and not reported as a conflict.

Copy / Paste Options: Include Title

If checked, then when copying the chart (as a picture) the title of the window is also copied (and therefore pasted in the target document).

Color / Font

With these controls you may set the desired text font style and color of the equipment names axis.
