ISTS StudioOP adds the following fields to the Block Outlines (strings) object; these can be used for filtering and annotation purposes:

  • PERCENT  -  the total percentage of the block that has been scheduled across all periods

  • TIMENOST  -  the first period in which the block is scheduled

  • PCNTCURR  -  the percentage of the block that is scheduled in the current period

  • PCNTUPTO  -  the percentage of the block that is scheduled in the periods up to and including the current period

  • START  -  the same as TIMENOST

  • END  -  the final period in which the block is scheduled.

The PERCENT and PCNTUPTO  can be displayed for all activities.
