New Functionalities

Replacing a Resource
Now you can replace resources with different plan types. For MSD workbench the command Replace Resource has been added. You can replace resources with different plan types. After starting the command all authorized plan types (associated with the father plan type) of the resource are displayed and can be replaced by each other e.g. the authorized child plan types associated with the father plan type are a, b, and c so the resource can be replaced by resources with the plan type a, b, or c.
Find a Fitting Resource
It is possible to search for a fitting logical resource (e.g. station, workplace). This is used to search for a fitting logical resource (for e.g. station and workplace). It displays all resources below the selected resource on which the selected process can be executed. The resource list can be sorted according to the remaining time. The remaining time is the difference between the resource cycle time and the resource busy time. The resource busy time is the sum of all durations of processes assigned to a resource.
Edit Resource Attributes
You can now edit attribute properties for the selected resource.
