Views

A view is a data window where information is presented in a particular way.

In DTS, there are five types of view:

  • Schedule view – The main view of a schedule, including task list, Gantt chart, Crosstab and timeline. This is where most of the functions of DTS reside.

  • Pivot Table view – A View for summarizing task data and grouping this in a multitude of ways (both on the horizontal and vertical axes). Unlike other pivot table tools (such as Excel), DTS is able to create weighted cross tabulations.

  • Dashboard view – A customizable page where you can design and display charts using a huge range of options.

  • A Flowchart view – Use this view to see how your destinations connect via your haulage network.

  • A Custom view – Define your own view with whatever upper and lower screen content you need.

To create a new standard view:

  1. First, load a schedule.

  2. Display the View ribbon.

  3. In the Create New View group, select either Schedule, Pivot Table, Dashboard or Flowchart.

    A new view is created.

Note: To find out how to create a custom view, see Create Custom View
