Describes RotoScheduler 0.2.1 · checked 2026-09-14 D5
The left-hand list shows each job's product, mold, planned quantity against required quantity, and due date. Select a job to read its quantities and its reason in the inspector.
The three states
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
Scheduled |
The job's required quantity is placed on the board. |
Unmet |
Some required parts are still unplanned. |
Deferred |
Demand permitted to wait remains for a later plan. |
All shows the full list. Attention shows unmet and deferred jobs. The sample includes both on purpose, so a full-looking board still has work waiting for a decision.
Assign remaining demand by hand
Select the job, choose Cycle slots to assign and click a suitable destination. A cycle slot is one available production turn. An assignment can continue on later configured dates of the same machine and arm. Read the fit result before accepting a warning.
Remove planned work
Select a mold run and use Check unschedule selected run, or select a job and use Check unschedule whole job. Review the result, then confirm the unschedule action. Removing a whole job removes all its planned placements across the schedule. Undo restores an applied change.
