How to schedule jobs?

This covers setting up a job schedule in Fusion Manager, either one job at a time or in bulk using Import & Export, so operators can see and select the next job on the console.

Jobs don't start automatically in OFS — an operator must still select and start each one.

Scheduling jobs manually

Step 1 — Open the line's product list

In the Products tab, select the line you'll be creating a job schedule for.


Step 2 — Select a SKU

Select the SKU you want to schedule, for example Hi Fibre 700g.

Step 3 — Set the schedule details

Click Advanced Settings, then:

  • Quantity — enter the units to make.
  • Target Line — select the line this SKU will run on.
  • Schedule Start — set the date and time.

  • Product/Order can run more than once — toggle this on if the SKU is produced on an ongoing basis, rather than as a one-off scheduled run.

Click Update to save.

Step 4 — Repeat for the rest of the run

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for every other SKU in your production run.

Step 5 — Check the console

Once your job schedule is set, it appears on the JOB screen in the OFS Console, with the next job to run at the top of the list.

 

Importing a job schedule using a CSV file

Step 6 — Export the current list

Click Import & Export on the product list, then Export.

Step 7 — Set the quantity for each job

In the exported file, enter a value in Quantity for any job you want pre-set with a specific units-to-make target.

Step 8 — Set the scheduled start time

Enter a value in ScheduledStartTime for each job, in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS. Check this column carefully after exporting — spreadsheet software can reformat dates automatically, so make sure the format is still correct before importing.

Step 9 — Import the file

In Fusion Manager, click Choose File, select your file, then click Import.

If you only want the console to display scheduled jobs, rather than every product, delete the existing jobs in Fusion Manager before importing your new schedule. Keep a master copy of the full product list offline first, so you can restore it later. Before you save, check the grid to confirm only the rows you meant to change are highlighted — Fusion Manager's Products page can stage unrelated changes just from being opened, and those get committed along with your import if you save without checking.

Step 10 — Save your changes

Click Save on the product list, in the top right.
