Use the Job Management Express (JME) page to quickly update start dates, adjust task durations, mark tasks complete, skip tasks or submit POs for multiple tasks on one job. Multi-family jobs have their own version of JME. Click here to view information about the Multi-Family JME page. You can also see information about the effects of changing the schedule. There are three views available on the JME page: Schedule, Detail, and Re-Calc End Date.

• Schedule View - This view displays all tasks within a selected stage. On this view, you can start a task, complete a task, change the duration, adjust the start date, or reschedule a task. The skip and reschedule functionalities have moved from the Detail tab and Reschedule tab to the Schedule view. There is Reschedule view because you can reschedule on the Schedule view.

• Start, complete, and reschedule tasks

• View and update job or task information

• Choose TBD suppliers and view supplier detail

• Detail View - This view displays each task name, rank, sequence, lead time, duration, and offset. For predecessor schedules, the predecessor ID is shown. The Skip functionality has moved to the Schedule view.

• Re-Calc End Date View -  This view allows you view possible "what if" scenarios to facilitate schedule acceleration. From this page, you can change the start date and the duration of tasks that are Scheduled or In Progress. If you change theses fields and click the Preview Re-Calc button, you see another page with the results of your schedule changes. No changes are made to the actual schedule until you click the Commit button. The column called Lock Start Date allows the user to hard-code that task to the specific date so that it will not move regardless of other changes in the schedule.

A few things to remember on the JME page:

• Receive error help - When a data error pops up on the page, the item in question is highlighted with red text, so you can quickly identify the source of the error. For example, if you try to complete a task before passing checklist items, an error is generated and the checklist items are highlighted with red text.
