The data displayed in each individual column provides a range of information for every scheduled task.

  1. Some data like the duration of the task, Task Type, Task Code are coming directly from there configuration of your tests.
  2. Some data like instrument and employee are showing which ones have been scheduled by the engine fro  their corresponding instrument / competency groups
  3. Some Data are generated during the scheduling process like Task ID, Request ID 
Data related to the scheduling are:

 Task Start Scheduled
 Facilitated by the engine once scheduling is performed. This cannot be edited
 Task End Scheduled
 Facilitated by the engine once scheduling is performed. This cannot be edited
 Start Date
 Date and time when the Task Status is updated from Open to In progress
 End Date
 Date and time when the Task Status is updated to complete
 Expected Completion
 It is initially the date and time as Task End Scheduled.
 This date is updated in conjunction with the start date update and is calculated based on the duration of the task

Initially, when using Optima, a comparison between Expected Completion and End Date could be extremely useful in order to better estimate the effective duration of the tasks. 

There is a search icon  for instruments and employees, which you can use to see whether an additional instrument or another person has been booked for this task too. Just click on the icon to display the list.
