Security Note: You need the Allow the user to maintain ship and barge lineup forecasting security right in the Transport Configuration user group security rights group for this activity.

Activity Steps

  1. Ensure that there are no changes in the client save list; that is, the Save icon is disabled.

    Note: The client save list is in the server statistics. See View MineMarket Server Statistics.

  2. Open the Line-up Forecasting screen.
  3. Enter the following search criteria as required.
    • Start Date
    • Despatch Type—Select from:
      • All—All shipments and service trips that match the search criteria are included in the line-up forecast.
      • Shipments—All shipments that match the search criteria, and any service trips that are assigned to those shipments, are included in the line-up forecast.
      • Barge Service Trips—All service trips that match the search criteria, and any shipments to which those service trips are assigned, are included in the line-up forecast.
    • Routes—Select from the routes defined on the Transport panel of the Solution Explorer.
  4. Click Search & Recalculate Timings.

    Shipments and service trips that match the search criteria display in the Despatches table.

    Shipments display in 'parent' rows, with their assigned service trips as 'child' rows. Any unassigned service trips display as 'child' rows of a blank 'parent' row.

  5. To edit the planned or actual route point details for a shipment or service trip, double-click the despatch in the Despatches table.

    The Shipment or Service Trip displays. Any changes made to the route point details on the Shipment or Service Trip are stored in the client save list. Even if these screens are closed without saving, the changed data in memory is available to the Line-up Forecasting functionality.

  6. Return to the Line-up Forecasting screen.
  7. Click Search & Recalculate Timings to recalculate timings based on the in-memory data.
  8. To view the recalculated planned route point details for a despatch:
    1. Select the despatch in the Despatches table.

      The Route Point Details table displays data relevant to the first route point.

    2. To view data for a different route point, select the route point in the Route Diagram.
  9. To apply and save all changes:
    1. Click Apply Changes.

      Important: The planned dates in the route plans for all shipments and service trips in the search results are updated with the recalculated data, not just the route plan for the selected despatch and route point.

    2. Click Save.

      All data in the client save list is saved, including any data that has been changed on any other MineMarket screen since the last save.

  10. To discard all changes:
    1. Click Clear Results or close the Line-up Forecasting screen.
    2. Click Refresh.
