Display of Columns in Workload Balancing

This option lets you display columns in the Workload Balancing panel for operations of any level.

Leaf systems

For a selected system, one column is displayed in the panel for each leaf system that includes operations.

Operations

By default, the Leaf systems option is selected.

Value Added Display

Display value added ratio on system

Select this option to display a "value added" bar on top of the system cycle bar. The value added is an attribute that can be set on each operation of the system. You can specify the color of this bar by selecting one of the proposed colors. By default, the bar is yellow.

By default, the option is not selected.

Display value added categories from time analysis on system

Select this option to display bars for value added categories in the Workload Balancing bar chart. The value added categories can be set on the time analysis of an operation. The total value for each category is computed for all the operations in the system.

Note: This option cannot be selected if the Display value added ratio on system option is already selected.

By default, the option box is not selected.

Drifting

Drifting operation

This option lets you choose a color to display drifting operations in the Workload Balancing panel.

Scale for System/Operation of zero duration

This option lets you specify a size for the rectangles that identify operations with no duration defined, in the Workload Balancing and Resource Balancing panels.

By default, the scale is 0.25.

Computation of Requested Resources
