# Visual Job Scheduler integration

The Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Visual Job Scheduler Integration integrates STAEDEAN Project Control Suite (PCS) with [NETRONIC Visual Job Scheduler](https://www.netronic.com/microsoft-dynamics-365-business-central/visual-jobs-scheduler) (VJS).

To use this feature, acquire and install both the NETRONIC Visual Job Scheduler and the STAEDEAN Visual Job Scheduler Integration.

The integration aligns the Project Control Suite data model with Visual Job Scheduler: planning lines of the type **Budget** use the type **Planning**. The main focus is on visualizing the resource planning for a project. The **Visual Job Scheduler Job View** shows the planned resources per project task and lets you drag bars to other dates and add resources to a project task. The resource and histogram views show the capacity and load on the resources.

For a detailed description of Visual Job Scheduler functionality, refer to the [NETRONIC help pages](https://help.netronic.com/en/visual-jobs-scheduler-vjs-for-dynamics-365-business-central).

When installed, open the **Project Gantt Chart** for a single project from the **Project card** > **Related** > **Project** > **Project Gantt Chart**. Open gantt charts for all projects from the **Project Manager Role Center** > **Actions** > **Tasks** > **Project Gantt Charts**.

## Steps - Calculate resource capacities

To properly calculate resource planning, calculate resource **capacities**:

1. For all resources to show in the planning, set a **Work Hour Template** on the **Resource card**.
2. From the **Project Manager Role Center**, open **Resource Mgmt.** > **Calc. Resource Capacity**.
3. On the request page, select a starting date and ending date. Optionally apply Anywhere Mobility Solutions of the following resource filters:
  - **Type**: Blank (= all types), **Person**, or **Machine**.
  - **No.**: calculate for the specified resource only.
  - **Resource Group No.**: calculate for the specified resource group only.
4. Click **OK** to start the calculation.

## Steps - Settings in Visual Job Scheduler

Make the following recommended settings in Visual Job Scheduler:

1. Open Visual Job Scheduler as described above.
2. Open **Company Setup** from the **Actions** menu.

| Option | Description | Setting |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Calculate Job Planning Line Duration | Specifies whether the quantity from the planning line is extended as per the resource's capacity. | **On** |
| Hide Resource Summary | Specifies whether the resource summary level for job planning lines is hidden. | **On** |
| Enable Employee Absences for Calculation | Specifies whether employee absence data is used to calculate capacities for human resources. | **Off** |
| Move Items along with Job Tasks | Specifies whether project planning lines of the type **Item** move with a change of the job task. | **On** |

Also note the option to update bar labels, tooltips, and left-hand side table descriptions from the **User Setup** page **New** menu.

### Visual Job Scheduler limitations

Compared to the Project Control Suite pages, Visual Job Scheduler has the following limitations:

- Planning lines with **Resource Groups** are not shown.
- To save modified planning lines, the planning line status must be **Open**.
- Only items marked as **Show in Visual Job Scheduler** on the **Item card** are shown.
