A redesigned login page and home page​

The login page has been redesigned. It now shows the neutral "Asprova WS" branding — the server that hosts My Schedule — instead of "Asprova My Schedule", next to a panel listing the products this server provides. For now, My Schedule is the only product that can appear there.

The home page's design has also changed in places.

Improvements and Bug Fixes​

1. (Feature) The table area of Resource Gantt and Order Gantt charts now follows the text color set in Asprova. The Resource left-side text color expression and Order left-side text color expression style settings are reflected, alongside the left-side text and background color expressions already supported. This requires Asprova 18.1.0.96 or later; on earlier versions the text keeps its previous color.
2. (Improvement) My Schedule project pages now open under a /my-schedule/ address, for example /my-schedule/projects/.... Existing /projects/... links and bookmarks redirect there automatically, so saved links keep working.
3. (Improvement) The browser tab title and icon now follow the page you are viewing. Pages of a project that has My Schedule assigned show "Asprova My Schedule" with the My Schedule logo, and the home page shows the neutral "Asprova WS" branding.
4. (Fix) On the Operation Table, pressing a Start or End button no longer leaves two result date-times in the cell. (from v.26.1.10)
5. (Fix) On Resource Gantt charts, the calendar header no longer disappears after switching to another view and back.
6. (Fix) Project pages now enforce access control. The project admin page requires Project Admin permission, and every other project page requires you to be assigned to the project; previously any signed-in user could open them. Users without sufficient permission now see a clear "insufficient permission" message.
7. (Improvement) The project settings page now shows a user's display name, with the username in parentheses, in the project users list and in the invitation dialogs. User search in the invitation dialog now matches the display name as well.
8. (Fix) When the license's project count refuses a project write, the message now names the limit that was reached.
9. (Fix) When the server could not be reached — while changing a project's settings, for example — this is now reported.
10. (Fix) The concurrent user (CCU) count is now kept per session rather than per browser cookie, so signing out reliably frees the slot the user held. Previously a client that arrived without the cookie and issued several requests at once could take one slot per request, and signing out released only one of them — the rest stayed occupied until they timed out 15 minutes later.
11. (Feature) Removing a user now also frees the concurrent user slots their sessions were holding, instead of leaving them occupied for 15 minutes with nobody left who could sign out to release them.
12. (Improvement) When signing in with an Asprova ID to use an online license, the error message now explains the actual cause — a wrong Asprova ID or password, no internet connection, a rejected corporate or proxy certificate, a proxy problem, or a server error — instead of a generic "Failed to login". The underlying technical code is included.
13. (Improvement) The server's own outbound HTTPS now trusts the certificates installed in the machine's Windows certificate store. Where a corporate CA or a TLS-inspecting proxy is in use, online license authentication succeeds as long as that certificate is installed there — no configuration is needed. See Trusting a corporate CA certificate.
14. (Improvement) A new extra_ca_certs configuration option takes the path to a PEM file, for a CA certificate that cannot be installed in the Windows certificate store. Its certificates are trusted in addition to that store, not instead of it.
15. (Improvement) On the server settings page, the alert shown for an e-Protector that cannot be used now appears in the display language.
16. (Fix) Maintenance mode is now re-evaluated when a project is created or deleted, not only when a project's plan changes. Previously, deleting the project that pushed the server past its license limit did not lift maintenance mode until the next license re-verification or a server restart.
17. (Improvement) The frontend and the bundled documentation are now served with Cache-Control: no-cache, so a browser revalidates them on every page load. Previously a returning browser could keep loading a cached page for days after the server had been updated.
18. (Security) The application is now hardened against HTML injection in text that comes from project data or configuration, such as a project name. Such text is always shown literally.

Improvements and Bug Fixes​

1. (Improvement) The initial login method on the login page can now be preset with a ?method=local or ?method=active-directory query parameter.
2. (Improvement) The Plugin's communication to the WS server now uses the system proxy automatically.
3. (Fix) On Resource Gantt charts, the bar color of a use instruction was sometimes incorrect.
4. (Fix) Closing the license authentication management dialog no longer throws an error.

Improvements and Bug Fixes​

1. (Fix) On Gantt charts, line breaks defined in "Resource left part text expression" or "Order left part text expression" were incorrectly rendered as whitespaces.
2. (Fix) User search on the invitation dialog of a project now returns partial matches against user ID and Name. Previously, an exact match was required. (from v.26.1.3)
3. (Improvement) When downloading a new version of the Plugin using its built-in downloader, the full path of the downloaded file is shown in the dialog after downloading.

Improvements and Bug Fixes​

1. (Bugfix) User creation on "Configure Users" page was not possible if My Schedule is accessed on HTTP. (from v.26.1.3)
2. (Bugfix) Add translation for some error messages that are remained in English.
3. (Improvement) On "Configure Users" page, users with display names are now shown as Display Name (Username).

Improvements and Bug Fixes​

1. (Improvement) Operation Table and Dispatching View now support Operation URL.
2. (Improvement) Added a hidden page for accessing My Schedule's debug features. We may direct you to this page when investigating issues.

Improvements and Bug Fixes​

1. (Fix) Virtual properties included in table-like views' styles were not uploaded correctly, causing them to appear as empty strings on My Schedule.
2. (Fix) In table-like views, when a property with no "Display name" or "Alias" was displayed, the header showed an empty string.

Improvements and Bug Fixes​

1. (Improvement) Added "HideSubResourceConnections" settings on Resource Gantt Chart.
2. (Improvement) Added experimental "Usage logs" feature.　For details, see the document.
3. (Fix) Auto refresh setting on Resource Gantt Chart (Displaying production quantity per shift) was not applied.
4. (Fix) Disabled result registration for operation groups on Operation Table.

Improvements and Bug Fixes​

1. (Improvement) Unassigned operation groups are now included when uploading the Operation Table if at least one of the group's member operations is scheduled during the upload period.
2. (Bugfix) Alerts regarding license expiration were correctly not hidden after pressing "Hide temporarily" buttons, making them appear immediately after reloading.
3. (Bugfix) If a number greater than 24 was set to "Remove old transactions" configuration, the server silently ignored the setting, resulting in old results not removed.
4. (Bugfix) Array properties not correctly uploaded on table-like views. Only the first member of the array was uploaded.
5. (Bugfix) On rare occasion, the online update failed to update the Control Panel (MySchedule.exe) even though the other components were successfully updated. This resulted in lost integrity of the package and future online updates' failures.

Resource Gantt Chart​

Display URLs​

By setting the operation's property "(My Schedule) Operation URL" (Work_MyScheduleOperationURL) and uploading the resource Gantt chart, a button to open that URL will be displayed on the timeline. This property can be set either as a virtual property or as a regular property with a value.

Note that only URLs with the schemes http://, https://, or file:// can be opened from My Schedule.

Other Improvements and Bug Fixes​

1. (Improvement) Changed the design of the login screen when Active Directory user authentication is configured.
2. (Improvement) Users can now set a "display name". Currently, the display name is only used for the username display while logged in (upper right of the page).
3. (Improvement) Added a "Show password" button to the password input field on the login screen.
4. (Improvement) Changed the name of the fingerprint file generated when authenticating My Schedule with e-Protector to asfingerprint_myschedule_TIMESTAMP.c2v. This is to distinguish it from fingerprint files of NLS and Asprova e-Protector.
5. (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where uploading the resource Gantt chart would fail when a label was attached to an operation without a main resource.
6. (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where retrieving the creation log file would fail when My Schedule is authenticated using e-Protector but the e-Protector is in an invalid state such as being expired.
7. (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue in the resource Gantt chart where connection lines were drawn incorrectly for linked operations that have an overlap method of ESE, SSEEE, EES, or ESSEE but are not split.

1. (fix) Work_ResultStartTime could be corrupted when the following conditions were met.

   • Datetime format setting was set to DD/MM/YYYY.
   • Work_ResultStartTime was already set when data are uploaded from Asprova.
   • The operation has been made "completed" by clicking "Finish" buttons on DispatchingView or OperationTable.

2. (fix) "Start" button was shown when an operation's status is "started" but Work_ResultStartTime is empty.

3. (fix) Online license session incorrectly invalidated when the client's IP address has appeared to be changed to the license server.

4. (fix) Operations of "started" status incorrectly made "completed" when downloading results to Asprova when "Set operation's status to complete automatically" setting is enabled.

1. (fix) Brought back Resource gantt's Process map, that was accidentally removed in ver.26.1.
2. (fix) When results were registered on gantt charts, they were not immediately reflected in the views on some occasion.

Results​

Reported main resource and Reported scrap quantity​

It is now possible to enter "Reported main resource" and "Reported scrap quantity" on My Schedule in the Result edit dialog. These properties will appear in the dialog after enabling them through "Allow keying following result properties" project settings.

Project admin settings​

The following project admin settings are introduced.

• Automatically set "ResultObtainTime" with "Start" and "Finish" buttons: When enabled, set "ResultObtainTime" of an operation based automatically to the time the "Start" and "Finish" buttons are pressed. "ResultObtainTime" is set to null when disabled.
• Allow finishing operations without starting: When enabled, the "Finish" button can be clicked even if the operation has not been started. The ResultStartTime will remain empty.
• Set operation's status to complete automatically: When enabled, the server automatically changes an operation's status to "complete" when the reported quantity reaches the production quantity, or when the reported progress reaches 100%.

Other improvements and fixes​

• (fix) When creating a user who logs in to My Schedule by authenticating himself with Active Directory, specifying values not formatted as UserPrincipalName as username is now an error. Entering sAMAccountName as username when logging in continues to be valid.
• (improvement) On table-like views, added an option to display all rows.
• (fix) On Resource gantt chart, when there were only non-production use-instructions for an operation on a resource, the operation could be displayed twice on the timeline.
• (fix) On Resource gantt chart, when only the resource lock of an operation overlapped the upload period, the resource lock was not displayed.
• (improvement) It is now possible to scroll on the "Chart" area of gantt charts, in addition to "Table" area and "Calendar Header" area.
• (fix) Result timestamps such as "Reported start time" could be determined as if the project's timezone was set to UTC when registering results immediately after loading a view.
• (fix) It was impossible to enter "Reported quantity" greater than "Production quantity."
• (improvement) Upon opening My Schedule Settings on Asprova, invalid style names set in the past are now removed automatically.
• (fix) On Resource gantt chart, 24h shift (00:00-24:00) was regarded as non-existent in appearance.

1. Enabled importing of result data in CSV format on the Operation Table.

2. Added an automatic import feature for results in Project Settings. Placing CSV formatted result data in the chosen file path will automatically import the data and reflect it on all screens.

3. Implemented a Notification Center. Notifications such as successful uploads, and the execution or failure of automatic imports, are displayed in the top right corner.

4. Added options to the display period settings in the Gantt chart.

5. Fixed an issue where the display period on the Gantt chart was displayed incorrectly when a display hours was set.

6. Fixed an issue in the Resource Gantt chart where the progress was displayed incorrectly when "Reflect non-operating hours on operations" was enabled.

7. "Upload with comment" can now be included in Asprova's commands.

1. Fixed an issue that the plugin cannot correctly download result data.
2. Fixed issues in the online update process where obsolete files could not be deleted and certain folders were abnormally locked, preventing their removal.

1. Fixed an issue in the Gantt charts where inputted results were not reflected correctly.
2. Fixed an issue in the Gantt charts where Gantt bars became misaligned when Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays were hidden.

License​

Backup e-Protector​

Backup e-Protectors are special type of protectors which are meant to be used temporarily in case of the main server's failure. If your server is authenticated with an e-Protector, one backup e-Protector can be issued. Customers whose server is authenticated with online license will not receive backup e-Protector, because it is trivial to move a license between servers.

See the manual for instructions.

User management​

Import csv file​

You can import a csv file to construct My Schedule's users list and their project permission settings. See the docs for details.

Project Management​

Change view names​

Each project view (Resource Gantt, Dispatching View, etc.) can now have custom name per project, which are configured by the project admins.

Changes can be made with buttons on the right bottom corner of each views on the project settings page.

If you change a view's name, the view will be displayed with the new name on the project. This applies to all users on the project.

Sorting / hiding views​

On project page, each user can now arrange the order of the project views and hide some if they want so. This enables customization of the project page to suit each user's assignments.

On the project page, press "Arrange" button to customize. You can reorder views with drag and drop. To hide a view, press the top left button.

1. Active Directory login now supports signing in with the sAMAccountName without entering the full UPN.
2. When result quantity or progress rate is entered on the Resource Gantt Chart or Order Gantt Chart, it can now be seen directly on the timeline without opening the Result Edit dialog.
3. In the Resource Gantt Chart (displaying production quantity per shift), if earlier lots of the same split operation are assigned to another resource, the cumulative production quantity for that split operation now starts calculating from zero.
4. Fixed an issue in the Resource Gantt Chart (displaying production quantity per shift) where, in some cases, the production quantity was displayed as NaN.
5. Fixed an issue where the server could crash in certain cases after an Active Directory login failure.

1. Added support for Active Directory authentication (Experimental Feature). Once the Active Directory connection is configured, you can now create Active Directory users who can log in with their AD username and password.
2. Rolled back an update to the build tools. This update was causing an issue where plugins were not functioning correctly.
3. Use instruction text on the Resource Gantt Chart will now extend beyond its cell boundaries when there is sufficient space.

1. Plugin Build Tool Update: The plugin build tool has been updated.
2. Detailed Error Messages: Detailed error messages are now displayed when a plugin-side upload fails.
3. System Time Mismatch Error: An appropriate error message is now displayed if an upload fails due to a system time mismatch between the plugin (Asprova) and the backend.

1. Automatic Update Checks: The plugin can now automatically check for new versions. When updating My Schedule, you no longer need to manually copy and paste plugin files. You can use this feature to download the plugin of latest version directly. (Note: This is a download from My Schedule backend, so no Internet connection is required).
2. Automatic Login and Data Retrieval: The plugin now automatically logs in and retrieves the latest project information when the settings dialog is opened.
3. License Tab Restored: The License tab removed in version 25.2.2, which still includes necessary function of installing drivers, has been restored.
4. Display Fix for Zero Manufacturing Quantity: Fixed a display issue in the results editing dialog when the production quantity was zero.
5. Multithreading Upload Bug Fix: Fixed a bug leading to failed uploads due to multithreading-related issues.
6. Improved Upload Performance: Upload performance has been improved by detecting the number of CPU cores in the operating environment and automatically setting the maximum number of threads.
7. Style-included URL: Fixed an issue that occurred when accessing the operation table and order table via a URL that included style names.

1. Fixed the problem of not being able to start My Schedule server when features for AutoMPS is disabled (because of no corresponding license). This has affected nearly every My Schedule user.
2. Fixed the bug that happens when specifying style in URL for Dispatching View and Operation Table.
3. The plugin will output more detailed log when encountering networking issues.

1. The performance of Resource Gantt Chart with data of a long time display period is much enhanced.
2. Fix the bug that when the resource name is set, the Dispatching View will sometimes crash.
3. The licence tab is removed from the Control Panel.
4. The overall build version (e.g., 25.2) will be shown in the online update dialog in the Control Panel.
5. Some display problems in Resource Gantt Chart are fixed.
6. Fix the bug that sometimes the start/finish button will still be shown when the operation is finished.

1. Fix the bug that sometimes the label attached to an operation will be displayed in wrong position in Resource Gantt Chart.
2. Fix the bug that some texts always displayed in Japanese regardless of the language set.
3. Fix the bug that when some data tips (in Resource Gantt Chart) are empty, sometimes the plugin crashes when uploading.

Asprova My Schedule Ver.25.2 introduces new functionalities such as Overwrite Calendars on Resource Gantt Chart and a new Resource Gantt chart that displays shifts.

Gantt Charts​

Display the current time​

The current time is displayed on Gantt Charts with an orange line.

Resource Gantt Chart​

Overwrite Calendars​

Overwrite calendars are now displayed on Resource Gantt Chart.

Displaying Label​

Label sizes are now dynamically changed depending on the texts inside. You can minimize labels by clicking on them.

Changes on how connection lines are drawn​

On My Schedule ver.25.2, connection lines on Resource Gantt chart are drawn in the same way as on Asprova. Prior to this version, many more connection lines were displayed on Resource Gantt chart, especially in cases where inter-order pegging was involved.

This change also applies to the process map display.

Resource Gantt Chart (Displaying production quantity per shift)​

A new variant of Resource Gantt Chart is added where operation bars are split by shifts configured in the Aru file. Each shift block has two numbers: production quantity in the shift, and cumulative production quantity to the shift. See the docs how to set up this new variant of Resource Gantt Chart.

Edit results on Dispatching View and Operation Table​

Editing results is now possible on Dispatching View and Operation Table. Click the buttons on the right-most column to display the edit-results dialog.

Whether to display the buttons is controlled by the project admins.
The menu can be accessed from the top-left hamburger button.

Date format​

Dates on My Schedule (especially result obtain time, result start time, result end time) are now formatted by Asprova's date format setting.

Access control​

The Restricted Users feature has been added as the first feature to manage the scope of access for each user in My Schedule. For users set as restricted users, you can select the resources they can access and set the permissions for those resources.

Restricted users can only use Dispatching View for now.

Comments on upload​

It is now possible to upload from Asprova with comments.

Comments are displayed to My Schedule users in the header.

Other improvements and fixes​

• Fix bug that the result recursive flag is not correctly reflected when downloading results from My Schedule.
• In response to the feedback that it was challenging to see, we have made the color of the diagonal lines in the hatching darker of started or finished operations on Gantt charts.
• On the table display view, we have added support for aliases for property names.
• On the Gantt chart, the year is now displayed in the calendar section.
• The text color of the operation use instruction bar, and the right text color of the order bar and the right text color of the work bar are now supported on Gantt charts.
• On the Gantt charts, days specified in the holiday table are now displayed in the header in the same color as Sundays (red).
• Since the table display screen of My Schedule does not support pivot rows, a warning is now displayed when attempting to upload a style that includes pivot rows to the work table or order table.
• When resource group codes are displayed on the resource selection screen of the dispatching view, etc., if a resource name is set in that resource group, the resource name is now displayed.
• On the Gantt chart, it is now possible to zoom in units of seconds. Previously, the minimum period displayed was one day.

Asprova My Schedule v.1.8.1 introduces some new features such as support for Holiday Table and "Prevent Mistakes" function.

We will continue developing Asprova My Schedule. If you find bugs or have a feature request, please contact us at myschedule@asprova.com.

Hide weekends and holidays on Resource Gantt Chart​

New display settings "Hide holidays" and "Hide weekends" are added. If you enable "Hide holidays", the holidays defined in the "Holidays" Table on the source Aru file will be hidden. If you enable "Hide weekends", weekends (Saturday and Sunday) will be hidden.

Automatic update on Resource Gantt Chart when new upload is made from Asprova​

On Resource Gantt Chart prior to ver.1.8.1, automatic update feature is only enabled for "result" data updates. From this version, Resource Gantt Chart with automatic update feature on also updates itself when new data is uploaded from Asprova.

"Prevent Mistakes" feature on Resource Gantt Chart​

Introduced "Prevent Mistakes" feature on Resource Gantt Chart. If enabled, inputting results gets disabled when the preceding operations statuses do not meet the requirements by the time constraint method. Only project admins can control "Prevent Mistakes" feature toggle.

When "Prevent Mistakes" feature is enabled, inputting results is possible on the following conditions:

* The Time Constraint Method with the preceding process is SS.
* The Time Constraint Method with the preceding process is SSEE, AND every operation of the preceding process is "Started".
* The Time Constraint Method with the preceding process is ES, AND every operation of the preceding process is "Completed".
* The Time Constraint Method with the preceding process is either of ESE, EES, SSEEE, or ESSEE, AND some operations of the preceding process are "Started".  

Online Licensing​

Online Licensing is now available on My Schedule. User interface to use an e-Protector is also moved from the Control Panel to the Frontend. For specific procedures, please refer to the Installation Manual.

Asprova My Schedule v.1.8 introduces "Search" feature on Resource Gantt Chart, results display on Order Gantt Chart, support for "Demarcation Times" on Gantt charts, and other minor improvements.

We will continue developing Asprova My Schedule. If you find bugs or have a feature request, please contact us at myschedule@asprova.com.

Search for resources and operations on Resource Gantt Chart​

You can search for operations on Resource Gantt Chart by inputting search query in the search box on the header. The operations whose data-tips include the query are highlighted.

You can also search for resources by selecting "Resource" on the search box.

Rendering of "Demarcation Times" on Gantt charts.​

Auxiliary lines are now drawn on Resource Gantt Chart and Order Gantt Chart, referencing "Day Demarcation Time" and "Other Demarcation Times" set in the source Aru file.

Filters on Gantt charts​

Filter feature of a new style is implemented on Resource Gantt Chart and Order Gantt Chart. The new filter feature can be accessed from either the icon or selecting "Filter" on the menu.

You can control which rows should be displayed by de-selecting values, just like Microsoft Excel's corresponding feature.

Partial support for results on Order Gantt Chart​

Results are now also rendered on Order Gantt Chart.

"Display Period" setting on the Plugin​

There are now two methods of specifying "Display Period" on the Plugin, "Dynamic" and "Static". By selecting "Dynamic", display period is dynamically set when uploading. The Plugin prior to ver.1.8 evaluated the setting only when the dialog was closed, so even if the "basis" time was changed, the "Display Period" setting remained unchanged, requiring manual changes. Ver.1.8 removes this manual procedure.

New resource selection method on Dispatching View​

We changed the method of selecting a resource to display on Dispatching View. On ver.1.8, the resource previously viewed, if any, is automatically opened. To switch resources, you can open the resource selection dialog by clicking the top right (resource name), and on the dialog you can select the resource to move to using searches.

Order Table​

Order Table is added as a new view.

Other improvements and fixes​

• When focusing a specific operation on Resource Gantt Chart (by clicking it on the Timeline or the Process Map), the focused operation is now displayed in the center of the screen.
• "Display Start Time" and "Display End Time" settings on Resource Gantt Chart are now displayed in the bottom-left corner of the screen.
• "Dates Mode" of Dispatching View now correctly reflects "Day Demarcation Time" set in the source Aru file.
• The Buttons to reset all results, which were placed on Dispatching View and Operation Table, are now moved to Project Settings page, which is only accessible to Project Admins.
• The Plugin now warns users when there is no uploaded operation because there is none that falls in the set "Display Period".
• Fixed the problem that new lines were not correctly drawn on table-like views.
• Fixed the problem that Operation Table incorrectly reflected old results inputted on My Schedule.
• Fixed the problem that statuses of some operations on Operation Table were incorrectly "Unscheduled".
• Fixed the problem that "Expand" buttons and "LET" markers on Order Gantt Chart were rendered in incorrect places on some browsers.

Asprova My Schedule v.1.7 includes an improvement on result inputting and important fixes.

Resource Gantt Chart​

Edit Result Dialog​

On Resource Gantt Chart's "Edit Result" dialog, added support for "Result Obtain Time" and "Result Progress" properties. This two properties can be set when the operation's status is either "started" or "completed". By setting the status neither of those, properties specific to results, including the those two properties, will be set empty.

As it is on Asprova, when both "Result Quantity" and "Result Progress" are set, the property whose value can be considered having more progress will be treated valid.

Connection Lines Color​

On Resource Gantt Chart, the colors palette of connection lines have been reconsidered. The pegging type "Between orders" (pink) and "Time Constraint" (light blue) now have the same colors as on Asprova. The rendering of connection lines linking sub resources (used to be light green) has also been reconsidered, it is now rendered as dotted lines.

Resource Lock Task​

Resource Lock Task are now rendered on My Schedule.

Operation Table​

We added a functionality by which users can download the content on the Operation Table in csv format. By opening the menu with the hamburger button on top right and clicking on "Export as csv" button, users can download all the operations belonging to the selected style in csv format (Excel compatible).

We also removed the style selection screen of Operation Table. Styles can now be selected by the combobox on the top.

Dispatching View​

On Dispatching View's resource selection screen, resources that are not relevant in any uploaded style now are not shown.

Plus, Dispatching View now automatically updates the operations shown when a result is input on other devices or when the project data gets re-uploaded from the Plugin.

Other minor improvements and fixes​

• Fixed a problem in which time constraint methods were not correctly displayed on the Resource Gantt Chart when time constraint methods were set for both input and use instructions.
• Fixed a problem in which entered results were not reflected correctly on the front-end side under certain conditions.
• Fixed a bug in the Edit Result dialog that allowed cases where the result start time was later than the result end time.
• Fixed a bug in the Gantt chart where clicking the “Today” button in the upper right corner jumps to the current time instead of the beginning of the day
• Fixed a bug that when updating My Schedule to a newer version, the browser cache kept showing the older version.
• Moved the Delete results button to the project's Advanced Settings page. It is no longer possible to delete results from Dispatching View or Operation Table.
• Changed behavior regarding concurrent connections so that when logging out, the connection used at the time gets released. It used to be kept counted in the number of concurrent connections until 15 minutes had elapsed.
• Fixed a problem in which the number of concurrent connections was counted multiply under certain conditions.
• Fixed a problem in which when the control panel was opened for the first time, its window popped out of the screen.
• Fixed a problem in which the control panel would falsely display "success" when an attempt to change the password for the administrator account failed.

In Asprova My Schedule v.1.6, new features were added to the Resource Gantt Chart, and several important bug fixes have been implemented.

We will continue to develop new features for Asprova My Schedule. If you have any feature requests or wish to report any issues, please contact us at myschedule@asprova.com.

Resource Gantt Chart​

Process Map​

Process Map is a feature that visualizes the connections between processes. You can access it from the "Process Map Display" at the bottom. By clicking on a task bar in the Resource Gantt Chart and selecting a task, you can display the series of processes in which that task exists as a graphical map.

The Gantt Chart section of the Resource Gantt Chart, the timeline display on the right, and the preceding and following process map display are linked. By selecting a task in the preceding and following process map, you can navigate to the corresponding task in the Gantt Chart. In the image, the yellow frame representing the selected task is visible in the Gantt Chart, timeline display, and preceding and following process map, confirming that the same task is highlighted across all displays.

In the Process Map, task details are not displayed; only the "Process Name" and "Process Number" are shown. The purpose of this map is to provide an overview of the connections between tasks, and detailed information is intended to be checked via tooltips or the timeline display.

Bug Fixes​

We have addressed the following issues:

• Fixed an issue where if My Schedule had performance data that had not yet been downloaded by Asprova, uploading from Asprova would cause the result data to be lost.
• Fixed an issue where changes to task statuses in the Resource Gantt Chart’s performance editing feature were not correctly reflected in Asprova.
• Fixed an issue where My Schedule displayed incorrectly if the uploaded aru file had "day demarcation time" property.
• Fixed an issue where some tasks (such as manufacturing-only tasks and stock tasks) were not uploaded in the Resource Gantt Chart.
• Fixed an issue where, when starting My Schedule as a Windows service, the server did not reflect certain settings, such as HTTPS enablement.
• Fixed an issue where the project timezone settings now support time zones with daylight saving time.

Features Requiring Asprova ver.17.8​

The following new features and bug fixes require updating Asprova to Ver. 17.8 (scheduled for release in October 2024):

• (New Feature) Added the ability to reflect the "Order Left Text Expression" in the Order Gantt Chart.
• (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where a new window was opened during uploads from the plugin.
• (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where sticky notes in the Resource Gantt Chart did not display with the same height as when viewed in Asprova.
• (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where the display/hide settings of sticky notes in the Resource Gantt Chart were not reflecting Asprova’s style settings.
• (Bug Fix) Fixed an issue where some order bar colors in the Order Gantt Chart did not reflect Asprova’s style settings.

English and Chinese are now officially supported starting from Asprova My Schedule v.1.5.

Resource Gantt Chart​

Labels​

Resource Gantt Chart now supports displaying labels defined in the corresponding style in Asprova.

Connection lines​

Connection lines on Resource Gantt Chart now has a new look. Connection lines are drawn by stacking them vertically, and their endpoints now have triangular markers, which will give users more intuition about the lines' relation with other entities.

Automatic updates​

Automatic updates are now enabled by default on Resource Gantt Chart. This feature will keep the view updated with new date retrieved every ten seconds. It can be disabled by the control in the header.

Header of the App​

Display of data upload date​

The app header now displays the date of the data upload.

User menu changes​

Display language can now be switched in the user menu.

In addition, the user menu now includes the display of current and max CCUs. The number of max CCUs on projects of standard and viewer plans (paid plans) is dependent of your contract, though it is 1 on free plan project regardless of your contract.
The numbers shown in the user menu are those of paid plans.

Control Panel​

Log display on the Control Panel now has a better color scheme, and the logs in it now have timestamp.

Other​

We have changed the format by which the Plugin saves My Schedule settings in .aru files. This may require reconfiguration of the Plugin by users after updating the Plugin to ver. 1.5.

Plus, as we have made a huge change of the format of the data uploaded by the Plugin, data uploaded with ver. 1.5 Plugin cannot be viewed by the Frontend prior to ver. 1.5. Conversely, data uploaded with the Plugin prior to ver. 1.5 cannot be viewed with the Frontend ver. 1.5.

In ver. 1.4, My Schedule Server now supports Windows services. Additionally, improvements were made to the Gantt Chart display, and display settings are now cached.

Windows Service Support​

It is now possible to configure the My Schedule server to start as a Windows service from the control panel. By starting as a Windows service, the server can be set to start automatically when Windows starts.

Display Settings Cache​

In My Schedule screens, such as the Assignment View and Resource Gantt Chart, display settings are now saved per browser. Even when you reopen the page, the previous display settings will be applied.

These settings are saved per browser for each user/project combination. If the same user views a different project or views the same project in a different browser, the settings will not carry over.

Improvements to the Gantt Chart​

You can now adjust the width of the leftmost column (Resource/Order) in the Gantt Chart. Additionally, on the Order Gantt Chart, we have improved it to display the delivery date triangle similar to Asprova. Furthermore, the order bar colors now reflect Asprova's style settings.

Ver. 1.3 is the official release version of Asprova My Schedule. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere gratitude to all the users who have cooperated with us in the PoC, as well as to everyone who provided feedback and assistance during the development.

We will continue to actively develop Asprova My Schedule, and we thank you for your continued support.

Improvements to the Resource Gantt Chart​

Editing Results​

We have made improvements to the Resource Gantt Chart's results editing window, which was added in v.1.2. Information about the currently edited task is now displayed at the top, and the status selection buttons are grouped on the left side.

Date Display Mode for Dispatching View​

We have introduced a date display mode in the Dispatching View. In date display mode, tasks are consolidated and displayed on a single page for each date.

Horizontal Scrolling in the Operation Table​

We have modified the Task Table to allow horizontal scrolling. When "Compact Version" is enabled, it can be displayed in the same way as before.

Saving of Display Settings​

Display settings can now be saved on the Resource Gantt Chart, Dispatching View, and Operation Table screens.

Plugin Improvements​

We have added a warning when setting up the integration with My Schedule if no UI has been selected in the project settings on the My Schedule side.

Control Panel Improvements​

We have made it so that the license agreement is displayed when the control panel is launched for the first time. Additionally, it is now possible to apply magic numbers to the eProtector.

In ver. 1.2, we reviewed the plans. Additionally, new features were added to the Resource Gantt Chart, and a new design for the control panel was introduced.

Plan Review​

Introduction of the Viewer Plan​

In addition to the previous "Free Plan" and "Standard Plan," we have added the "Viewer Plan."

The Viewer Plan is a plan that limits functionality to viewing only, while allowing you to view schedule data without any restrictions on the display period. Like the Standard Plan, the number of simultaneous connections can be increased by purchasing additional connections.

Changes to the Free Plan​

In the Free Plan, which is available for free, actual performance input was not available before, but starting from v.1.2, it will be possible to input performance data. Additionally, the Manufacturing BOM Table will also be available in the Free Plan starting from v.1.2.

Improvements to the Resource Gantt Chart​

We have made several improvements to the Resource Gantt Chart.

Display of Stacked Resources​

It is now possible to display stacked resources on the Resource Gantt Chart. In line with the support for stacked resources, we have also changed the style of the rectangles displaying tasks.

Editing results​

The ability to edit results, which was temporarily unavailable in v.1.1, is now restored. Additionally, it is now possible to edit the quantity of actual performance.

New Control Panel Design​

We have introduced a new design for the control panel. In the new design, it is now clearly visible at the top whether the server is running. Additionally, buttons such as "Start" have been consolidated, and the log display area has been enlarged.

Problem Reporting and Update Check​

We have added "Problem Reporting" and "Check for Updates" buttons at the bottom as experimental features. These are experimental functions and may contain issues. We look forward to your feedback.

When you press the "Problem Reporting" button, you can report issues to Asprova via email (a mailer must be installed). When you press the "Check for Updates" button, you can automatically update the installed Asprova My Schedule (Asprova ID login is required).

In ver. 1.1, we have redesigned the Resource Gantt Chart and the Project Management page.

Resource Gantt Chart Design Renewal​

We have redesigned the Resource Gantt Chart UI to improve clarity. The navigation buttons on the Resource Gantt Chart have been reorganized (within the red frame). Some of the features that were available in the old Gantt Chart will be implemented in v.1.2.

Project Management Page Design Renewal​

Icons have been introduced for the UI selection page and the UI settings section in the detailed project settings.

Asprova My Schedule is a product that enables viewing production schedules scheduled by Asprova and entering actual performance data related to the schedule via a web browser.

Components of My Schedule​

My Schedule consists of a plugin that uploads data from Asprova, a server (Asprova WS) that stores the data, a control panel to manage the server, and the My Schedule front-end displayed in a browser. For more details, please refer to the manual download page.

Free Plan / Standard Plan​

My Schedule offers two plans: a Free Plan, which is available for use at no cost, and a Standard Plan. In the Standard Plan projects, in addition to all the features available in the Free Plan, it is possible to enter actual performance data on My Schedule and import this data into Asprova.

The following additional features are available in Standard Plan projects:

• The period for uploading data from Asprova becomes unlimited (in the Free Plan, it is limited to two weeks).
• Actual performance data can be entered on My Schedule and imported into Asprova.
• The number of simultaneous connections, which is fixed at 1 in the Free Plan, increases to 5. Additional simultaneous connections can also be purchased (for a fee).
• The Manufacturing BOM Table can be utilized.

Available UIs​

Six UIs are available: Resource Gantt Chart, Dispatching View, Operation Table, Order Gantt Chart, Order Lead Time, and Manufacturing BOM Table. The Manufacturing BOM Table is available only in Standard Plan projects.

Resource Gantt Chart​

In the Resource Gantt Chart, you can view the scheduled tasks for each resource. Similar to Asprova's Resource Gantt Chart, it displays connection lines between tasks in sequential processes and setup times. Based on user feedback regarding the overlapping text in Asprova's instruction bars making it difficult to read, we have added a panel on the right to display the currently selected tasks vertically.

You can enter the actual start and end times of tasks in the right panel. The entered data will be reflected in other UIs such as the Assignment View.

Similar to Asprova, tooltips can be displayed when hovering the mouse over an item.

Dispatching View​

In the Dispatching View, you can view the assignments for each resource. By uploading data via the plugin, the styles from Asprova can be applied. You can enter the actual start and end times of tasks. The entered data will be reflected in other UIs such as the Resource Gantt Chart.

Operation Table​

In the Operation Table, you can view a list of tasks. You can enter the actual start and end times of tasks. The entered data will be reflected in other UIs such as the Resource Gantt Chart.

Order Gantt Chart​

You can view the Order Gantt Chart. The style of Asprova's Order Gantt Chart can be applied. Similar to Asprova, orders that are delayed can be displayed in red.

Manufacturing BOM Table​

In the Manufacturing BOM Table, you can view the Manufacturing BOM. A Standard Plan is required to use the Manufacturing BOM Table.

For the Manufacturing BOM instructions, you can measure and update the manufacturing time.

Order Lead Time​

In the Order Lead Time UI, the lead time for each order can be displayed in an easy-to-read graphical format.

Project Management​

On the Asprova WS server, Free Plan projects can be created without any limit on the number of projects. The number of Standard Plan projects that can be created is determined by the license.

For each project that is created, you can finely configure which UIs to use and which users are able to view the project or input actual result data.
