Launching Scheduler Interface Enhancements and Document Viewer
Exto presents an enhanced Scheduler interface to include the Activity Type "Duration". This activity type "Duration" is controlled by various date parameters including the Start and End dates and the Project Calendar. Although certain dates are defined by the end-user, the remaining is calculated using the scheduling logic. Duration Type activities are important when you assign one or more resources to an activity.
With the Document Viewer capabilities, add annotations or comments to PDF files, highlight your updates, create sticky notes, and use the free-hand drawing, and mark-up tools. Also, organize documents at a whole new level by creating unlimited Tags to easily search and locate your document. With the Check-out/Check-in facility lock the document for editing by other users and with the Version control ensure changes made to documents are not accidentally overwritten by other members.

This activity type "Duration" is controlled by various date parameters including the Start and End dates and the Project Calendar. Although certain dates are defined by the end-user, the remaining is calculated using the scheduling logic. Duration Type activities are important when you assign one or more resources to an activity.
In the scheduling process, an Activity's type determines which assigned calendar will be used to calculate its start and finish dates. Calendars specify valid working periods and nonworking periods such as weekends, holidays, and exception time.
In situations when the project does not start on the prescribed date or changes in the project plan, then the user has an option to run the schedule by determining the activity's remaining duration that's based on Planned run rate or Max run rate or both.
You can also modify a diverse set of activities and relationship details directly in the Activities page Gantt chart. Create activities, adjust durations and dates, and establish relationships between activities. Hover over an activity to view its information and also add or modify the activity details.
