Hiding function for rest periods
Hide rest periods on BarChart Area
It is now possible to hide the column for rest periods on the Calendar.
It also supports printing while the Rest columns are hidden.
By showing only the operating period, you can effectively utilize the screen and paper space.
→ You can check the new functions in the video! (Transitions to YouTube) * Japanese
You can freely select the Calendar for which you want to hide rest periods from registered Calendars on Calendar edit screen.
You can also set whether to show or hide vertical lines for hidden periods, as well as their color.
You can also set whether to show or hide vertical lines for hidden periods, as well as their color.
In [Advanced Calendar Settings], you can set conditions for which rest periods to hide when multiple Calendars are selected.
When used in conjunction with the sequential day display function, it can also be helpful for creating a duration schedule.
Non-working Calendar Automatic Creation Tool (Add-on tool)
We have developed a tool that creates a Calendar where the days on a Bar Chart without Bars are automatically set as rest periods.
This is useful when you want to create a duration schedule by using the hiding function for rest periods from a Bar Chart that already contains schedule information.

This tool is available free of charge to customers who subscribe to the maintenance service of ACTY'S.

Improved Tool Menu Editor
Changed the specifications of “Add predefined variables” button
-
The button name has been changed.
(Before change) Add constant → (After change) Add predefined variables -
We reviewed the system variable options that appear in the list and replaced them with frequently used ones.
This improved clarity and reduced the risk of input errors.
As before, items that are not in the list can be manually configured.

Known Issues and Workarounds
In ACTY’S 16.0, it has been identified that the display of Overall Image becomes distorted under certain conditions when Hide Rest function is turned ON.
This issue occurs when [Display Task Map and Resource Map in the Overall Image Window] is checked in [Edit] > [Preference] > [Advanced Option].
If you click on the Resource Map displayed in the lower half of the Overall Image, the display of Resource Names on the Overall Image will be distorted, and vertical lines indicating the rest periods will be displayed up to the Resource Name display area.
<Workaround> This can be resolved by moving the mouse cursor.
