Jobflow Forecast View

The jobflow forecast view lets you view relationships between jobs that are defined in the CA NSM JM Option database.

The Jobflow window contains the Jobflow Forecast window, which presents the jobflow forecast view of a single job; this job, the starting job, is the one you specify in your selection criteria.

The jobflow forecast presents each job as a bar extending across the appropriate number of time increments representing the job’s start and end times. Links (or arrows) connect jobs that are related to the starting job. The jobflow consists of the starting job and the jobs that are successors to the starting job.

The jobflow forecast view can be either a Gantt chart or Pert chart. Gantt charts display the relationships between jobs across a time span; Pert charts display job relationships without regard to time. For information about Pert charts, see Changing the Chart Type: Gantt or Pert in the online help.

Jobs with names followed by plus signs can be expanded to show additional trigger (or successor) levels.
