Using Matrix View
The Matrix view is used to provide an alternative way to view and to update job information by way of a grid format.
When on the screen, it displays a calendar showing the days that have schedules in the Daily tables, a list of schedules for the current day, and a Job Matrix table. The Job Matrix table shows all of the jobs in the selected schedule. In order for the schedule and jobs information to display in the Gantt, PERT, Bar Chart, Pie Chart, and Workload Chart views, you must first activate the Send the current selection to other views button on the Matrix toolbar.
The Listen for selection changes in other views button must also be activated in the views that receive the schedule and job information (e.g., Gantt, PERT, Bar Chart, Pie Chart, and Workload Chart views).
Matrix Toolbar
The Matrix view also has a toolbar that allows you to perform actions in the view. Click on any specific icon on the toolbar below to learn more about its functionality.
Job Matrix Table
The Matrix view contains a table for all jobs that belong to the selected schedule for a selected day. The Job Matrix table provides the columnar information listed below. The column order can be set to the user's preference. In order to change the order of a column, click on the column heading of the column to be moved and drag the column to the preferred location. Each column value will also be displayed in a tool tip by hovering over a row.
If the "Show Job Containers" preference is turned off, the Job Matrix table will not show the Container jobs. For more information on this setting, refer to Setting Preferences from Enterprise Manager.
