Order Scheduling Display

Weekly Order Scheduling Display
 

Full, Structured, End-to-End Description 
 

What is this screen
 

This screen is the Weekly Order Scheduling Display — an operational planning workspace where orders, people, or tasks are visually placed along a seven-day week.
 

It combines:
 

• Time Tracking

• Order Filtering

• Monthly Navigation

• Weekly Planning

• Visual Workload Distribution
   

All in one unified interface.
 

This is not a configuration screen.
This is a daily operational dashboard.
 

General Screen Layout Philosophy
 

The screen is intentionally divided into three vertical areas, each serving a different cognitive task:
 

1. Top Header – Work Status and Time Tracking

2. Left Sidebar – Context Selection (Order + Month)

3. Main Area – Weekly Execution and Visual Display
    

This separation allows users to:
 

• Stay aware of time and status

• Choose which period they are working in

• Actively manage who/what is scheduled during the week
   

1. Top Header Bar – Work Status and Control
 

The top bar answers one question immediately:
 

”Am I currently working, and for how long?”

What's here
 

• Work Status (”In Progress”)
  Confirms the user's current operational state.
   

• Start Work Button (Green, Play Icon)
  Initiates time tracking.
  This links scheduling with real working hours.
   

• Time Clock (00:00:00)
  A live timer showing elapsed work time.
  
  The dropdown arrow suggests:
   

  • Pause / Stop

  • History

  • Adjustments
     

• Green Numerical Tags (2, 2)
  
  Attention indicators:
   

  • Pending items

  • Alerts

  • Active tasks
    (Exact meaning depends on system configuration.)
     

• Red Close (X)
  Exits the scheduling view safely without affecting data.
   

Why this is important
 

This bar ensures accountability — scheduling is linked to real work time, not just planning.
 

2. Left Sidebar – Order Context and Monthly Orientation
 

The left sidebar defines scope before action.
 

Order Section
 

At the top of the sidebar:
 

• ”Order” Title
  
  Confirms the module you are operating in.
   

• Purple Gear Icon
  
  Opens Order Settings, such as:
   

  • Order Types

  • Visibility Rules

  • Custom Fields

  • ”Show in Order List in Header”
     

This separation ensures:
 

• Configuration remains separate from execution

• Changes do not disrupt live scheduling
   

Monthly Calendar (January 2026)
 

Below the Order title is a compact Monthly Calendar.
 

Its role is orientation, not execution.
 

What it provides:
 

• Day of the week headers (Sun–Sat)

• Full monthly grid (January 2026)

• Days spilling over from the previous month (Dec 28–31)

• The current day highlighted (e.g., January 28)
   

Controls include:
 

• Left / Right Arrows ← navigate between months

• Home Icon ← return to the current month
   

How it is used
 

• Clicking a date repositions the weekly grid

• Users quickly jump to a different week without scrolling

• This keeps users connected to their place in time
   

3. Main Content Area – Weekly Planning Engine
 

This is where the actual work is done.
 

Weekly Navigation Controls
 

At the top of the main area:
 

• Left Arrow ← previous week

• ”Week” Button ← confirms week view (or switches from day/month view)

• Right Arrow ← next week
   

This allows for quick linear movement through time.
 

Date Range Indicator
 

An example is shown:
 

28 Dec 1969 –
