Chart Plan Data

View Charts in Month, Week, or Day Interval

When you change to a chart view, the chart shows the interval you were viewing in the grid view (month, week, or day). If you are viewing more than 1 chart, the interval is the same for all charts.

To change the interval:

  • from Month to Week, click a month on the chart x-axis.

  • from Week to Day, click a week on the chart x-axis.

  • from Day to Week, click Weekly View above the first chart y-axis.

  • from Week to Month, click Monthly View above the first chart y-axis.

For the intervals each parameter is available, see the table under Plan Spreadsheet Rows and Columns.

Hide Chart Parameters for WEM Skills

In the Parameters list, you can select or clear the checkbox next to the parameters you want to see or hide in the chart.

To temporarily hide a parameter in a chart:

  1. Click the parameter listed below the chart.

    The parameter name changes to gray and the line for that parameter goes away.

  2. To bring it back, click the parameter below the chart again.

    It also comes back when you change the interval or open a different plan.

Hide Chart Scheduling Units

In the Scheduling Unit drop-down, you can select or clear the checkbox next to the Scheduling Units you want to see or hide in the chart.

To temporarily hide a Scheduling Unit in a chart:

  1. Click the Scheduling Unit listed below the chart.

    The Scheduling Unit name changes to gray and the line for that Scheduling Unit goes away.

  2. To bring it back, click the Scheduling Unit below the chart again.

    It also comes back when you change the interval or open a different plan.

View or Edit Chart Parameter Values

To see a parameter value on a chart, hover over a point on the chart. The point becomes larger and a tooltip shows the interval, parameter name, and parameter value. If you are viewing more than 1 chart, each chart highlights the same point and a tooltip shows the data for each line. For examples, see the images under Chart Plan Data.

For the daily or weekly interval, you may need to zoom in to see or change the points on a chart. See Zoom In on a Chart Section.

To edit a parameter value on a chart:

  1. Drag the point up or down on the chart. The tooltip displays the changing value.

    Refer to Edit Plan Data for the parameters you can edit, when you can edit them, and the valid values. You cannot edit the Scheduling Unit plan rollup parameters.

  2. If the WEM Skill distribution calculation method is Use WEM Skill FTE required, click Apply after WEM Skill or All WEM Skills updates.

  3. After Scheduling Unit updates, click Apply.

  4. To save your changes to the plan, click Save or Save As.

If a parameter has a blank value, it does not appear as a point on the chart. Because of this, you cannot edit chart parameters with a blank value.

You cannot edit the SL (time) parameter when it is blank in the week or month view. This parameter could be blank when the day values are not the same.

Zoom In on a Chart Section

If you are viewing more than 1 chart, the zoom applies only to the chart you select to zoom.

To zoom in on a chart section:

  1. Click inside a chart (white area) and drag your cursor right or left to select the area you want to see closer (becomes light blue area).

  2. To scroll left or right to see different data (intervals) while zoomed in, hold down the Shift key, then click and drag the cursor Image for the drag cursor icon.

  3. To go back to the original chart, click Reset Zoom or change the interval.
