  • 1.  Customizing the Gantt Chart and Validation Mechanism

    Posted Mon July 20, 2020 11:41 AM

    Dear All,

    I am interested to know on below queries regarding the options of customization leveraged in Maximo Scheduler and Scheduler Plus. Any information on this would be really helpful

    1. Is there an option available for customizing Gantt Chart View in Graphical Scheduling/ Assignment? Can we design Graphical View using Application designer ?
    2. Is there a way to pop up a message in Graphical view based on the scheduling or assigning task performed in Graphical view ?

    Thanks in Advance !!

    1. The Gantt is not customizable through Application Designer, basically because it is not a standard Core Maximo HTML component.
    It is a dynamic JavaScript application built from a series of properties and configuration of its own.
     
    Gantt customization is limited to the system properties available, where the user can change colors displayed for task bars, priority column, row background, etc.
    Enhancement to the product for a customization application would be very interesting
     
    Therefore, the Gantt cannot be customized at runtime. If you're willing to change the Gantt theme, look-and-feel, color palette, etc. Then you would have to modify application code to customize CSS classes in the Gantt stylesheet file.
     
    2. This is something we could do in the product but not something you can customize.

    Both of these would make nice enhancements to the product.  https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/?BRAND_ID=90 is the link to RFE site.

    1. You can customize the assignment and scheduling by customizing the oob class files. You will have to read a lot of class files but this kind of customization is not standard so it will be very difficult and tricky to do. SKDPROJECT and SKDACTIVITY are starting objects which you can explore.
    2. You can probably display dialog box as well from an autoscript. An example will an aftercommit script on skdactivity object.

    I haven't done this type of customize or script. Just read the class files to debug some product issues.

    I'm afraid you have confused me a bit here.  It's true you can customize though code modification, but class file is definitely not the place you'd have to change to customize the Gantt.  I think the basic rule should be to use the system properties we provide for customization and if you don't see what you need please put in an RFE.

    thanks

    Thanks Lori !! May I know the file which would helps to customize the gantt. Say for an example if I would like to hide the resource section of the Gantt, What would be the recommended steps to do.
    Also I would like to know how a validation popup can be brought in the gantt chart based on the action performed by the user in the Gantt. Say for an example I would like to bring a validation pop up when the schedule has been done to non available duration. Requesting for the recommended steps.

    Thanks in Advance !!
