Prestige Scheduler Version 5 On-Line Documentation (preliminary)
Setting up for the first time
Initial Maintenance	When Prestige Scheduler is first installed, the EPB (Electronic Planning Board) is blank. There are several maintenance screens you need to visit to set up and define resources, downtime (non-productive time) and milestones. In due course, you may also want to set up various colour schemes to display processes on the EPB (represented by coloured bars) in different ways. You should create items in this order: Proformas - these are "rules" that will define the default non productive time for one or more resources Board Resources - these are the machines/work centres/cost centres you want to schedule operations (or processes) against. Milestones - these are tags that you can attach to board processes to imply an outstanding requirement and a likely date as to when the requirement will be fulfilled. Milestone estimated due-dates constrain the process's position on the EPB. Before you can import jobs from an external Information System, you need to make sure that the external data has been made available. Setting up external data is not covered in this documentation. You should consult with your distributor to ensure this is taken care of.
Setting up the EPB	Once you have set up the above, you need to become familiar with the EPB. This is the first screen you will see when you login to a Prestige Scheduler client session.
Adding Jobs	Whether you import jobs from an external MIS or you create jobs from scratch, jobs are maintained using PSv5's Job Browser
