# Scheduler & Comparing Scheduler Board

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember to read [here](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.19/fleet-allocation-and-scheduling/getting-started/planning/fleet-plans) regarding selecting a scenario and a *comparing* scenario!
{% endhint %}

After selecting a scenario (and a comparing scenario), the scheduler board gives users an overview of the voyages that needs to be scheduled. It shows unallocated, allocated and nominated voyages. The allocated and nominated voyages can be viewed on the bottom half of the board, **Schedule**, while the unallocated voyages can be viewed on the top half, **Commitments**.

The board is interpreted similar to a Gantt schema, with the column headers being dates and the row headers being COA and SPOT for the Commitments section and vessel names for the Schedule section. The red vertical line indicates today's date.

### Commitment Bars

Commitment bars can found in the Commitments area and contain information about an *unallocated* voyage including Charterer, Laycan dates and Commodit&#x79;**.** The ballast port and first loading port of a voyage can be found to the left of the bar, and the last discharging port to the right. The *laycan* period can also be viewed on top of each bar (see picture in Scheduler Bars below).

#### **Tooltip**

When hovering over a *commitment bar,* a tooltip will pop up with additional information about the voyage. See tooltip picture under 'Scheduler Bars' section.

### Scheduler Bars <a href="#scheduler-bars" id="scheduler-bars"></a>

Scheduler bars can be found in the *Schedule* section and contain information about either allocated or nominated voyages, containing Reference No, Voyage Status, first Load Port and last **discharge port**. If the L*aycan* dates have been set, a Laycan *indicator* can also be viewed on a schedule bar. A timeline of the ballast and port calls can be viewed on top of each bar:

**New update(s) to the tooltip:**

* Voyage Status chip has been added to top-right tooltip
* Extra dividers around Laycan dates
* TCE has been added in-between Commodity Class and Quantity

​More additional information on the voyage and its cargos are displayed in the voyage drawer. This can accessed by clicking on a commitment- or schedule bar.​

### Comparing Scheduler Bars <a href="#comparing-scheduler-bars" id="comparing-scheduler-bars"></a>

After selecting a [*comparing* scenario](https://app.gitbook.com/o/-LhoT2vqihl0pYiCeolt/s/Zao7rN3mdCfNKVRfQpS0/fleet-allocation-and-scheduling/getting-started/planning/fleet-plans#select-a-comparing-scenario), you will be displayed doubled vessel rows in which the two scenarios selected contains some scheduled voyages each; the **dark blue** scheduled voyages belongs to the **first** selected scenario, while the **dark** **grey** scheduled voyages to the **second** selected scenario (i.e. the comparing scenario):

Otherwise, it will show one row per vessel. Moreover, you can select which vessels and/or areas to filter on. You can at any point go back to the original Scheduler view by removing the comparing scenario (clicking 'X' in the second selector), in which case, the Commitments section will reappear:

By hovering over each of the scheduled voyages, you will get a similar tooltip as mentioned above under "Scheduler Bars'.​
