Additional Attributes
Further Settings of 'Triangle lower'/'Triangle upper'
Distance lag - Length in distance units, that is used to enhance the triangle shape in distance units behind the Activity line to block this area for other Activities.
Distance lead - Length in distance units, that is used to enhance the triangle shape in distance units ahead of the Activity line to block this area for other Activities.
Time lag - Duration in calendar time that is used to enhance the triangle shape in time at start or end (depending on type lower or upper) to block this area for other Activities. The shape becomes a trapezoid.
Date-based lag - If you activate this option, a fixed date/ time is used instead of the constant lag. With the option activated, the duration in the lag field is ignored.
Clear Date - Empties the field Lag Date.
Lag date - The date from which the Activity fill should begin. Should the date be before/ after (depending on the type lower or upper) the lag shape will not be created.
Full block - This checkbox controls the display of the Activity-progress. If checked the shape of the Activity (display type: rectangle) is full to the progress point. If not: The performed as well as the not performed part of the Activity group are displayed as single rectangles.
Further Settings of Parallelogram (working time)/Parallelogram (calendar time)
Start lag - Duration in working time/calendar time should be used in the future at the beginning of the activity line as a periodic activity fill.
End lag - Duration in working time/calendar time should be used in the future at the end of the activity line as a periodic activity fill.
Use lead also as lag - If you activate this option, the periodic blockage for the future is also used for the past. The complete activity fill is mirrored.
Further Settings for Parallelogram (time)/Parallelogram (distance)
Distance lead/lag - Length in distance units, that is used to enhance the line to a shape. At the start, the value is added and at the end, the value is subtracted.
Time lead/lag - Length in calendar time units, that is used to enhance the line to a shape. At the start, the value is added, and at the end, the value is subtracted.
Further Settings of Stairs
Step lengths - The length of the step in the quantity of distance units. The last step is always so long that the complete length of the activity is used.
Further Settings of Parallelogram (distance)
Distance lag - Length in distance units, that is used to enhance the line to a parallelogram in distance. The lag is added behind the activity line to block this area for other activities.
Distance lead - Length in distance units, that is used to enhance the line to a parallelogram in distance. The lag is added ahead of the activity line to block this area for other activities.
Lead/ lag options - The selection presumes an allocation of a Permanent Resource. In this case, lead and lag are calculated by the length of the used resources with Option: Locomotive, Wagon or Track renewal machine.
