Moving a single activity in the graphical planner
You can move a single activity (non-recurring or recurring) in the graphical planner.
Procedure
1. Go to > .
2. Click the Graphical planner button.
3. Select the activity you want to move in the graphical planner.
In this case the following applies:
◦ If you move a non-recurring activity in the graphical planner, only this non-recurring activity is moved and it does not affect other activities.
◦ If a recurring activity starts at the same time as a non-recurring activity belonging to the same activity definition, the latter will always remain in place on the planner. However, this results in only one order being generated.
4. Drag and drop the activity on the required date-time in the graphical planner.
A tooltip displays the activity's 'old' start date-time and the 'new' start date-time. The new start-date-time is dynamic, so it is adjusted while you are scrolling.
The graphical planner also indicates whether you are plotting activities within the range of the maintenance activity definition. The activity definition's duration is marked by a white background. A gray background indicates the periods beyond the activity definition's duration: before its start date-time or after its end date-time.
Depending on the activity's scheduling method the following applies:
◦ If the corresponding activity definition belongs to the Fixed scheduling method: moving a recurring activity in the graphical planner will cause only future recurring activities to be moved along, with the same interval.
◦ If the corresponding activity definition belongs to the Variable scheduling method: moving a single recurring activity in the graphical planner will have no effect on other recurring activities.
◦ If the corresponding activity definition belongs to the Fixed completion scheduling method: recurring activities cannot be moved in the graphical planner. However, any adjustments to a maintenance order's completion date (a delay or an advance) will have consequences for the start dates of future activities that are planned for this activity definition.
