View and edit resource graph preferences

Resource graph display characteristics are controlled by a set of site preferences. Only users with sufficient access privileges can change site preferences. To view or edit these, right-click the resource graph and choose Preferences.

Preference Description
scheduling_graph_dataSource Data source for resource graph. randomSample uses a random sample generator; TeamcenterDB (default) uses the Teamcenter database. Warning: must be set to TeamcenterDB in a production environment.
scheduling_graph_dataSource_filter Filtering method used when creating resource graphs: none (default, no filter), selection (filter for selected schedules), current (filter for the current schedule).
scheduling_graph_date_format Data format in resource graph. Any date/time pattern. Default: EEE, MMM d.
scheduling_graph_domain_interval Marked intervals on the domain axis. Values: day (default), week, or integers such as 1 (day) or 7 (week); also 1440, 10080, month.
scheduling_graph_domain_label_vertical Orientation of domain labels. true (default) = vertical; false = horizontal.
scheduling_graph_font_name Font name or font family name. Default varies by system type (Windows or Linux).
scheduling_graph_font_size Point size of the font. Default: 8. Site preference.
scheduling_graph_font_style 0 (default, normal), 1 (bold), 2 (italic), 3 (bold+italic).
scheduling_graph_histogram_single_color true (default) = single color bars; false = multiple colors.
scheduling_graph_reference_calendar Calendar type for domain (x) and range (y) axis: resource_calendar_type (default) or system_calendar_type. Site preference.
scheduling_graph_task_legend true = show legends for stacked bars; false (default) = no legends. Note: if true, tooltips do not include schedule and load information.
scheduling_graph_view classic = view with scroll bars; native (default) = view without scroll bars.

Note: You can also view and edit these preferences in My Teamcenter by choosing Edit → Options and using the scheduling search term.

The TC_current_role preference specifies if members of the Resource Graph Viewers role have read access to all schedules, among other impacts. You can view or edit this preference by choosing Edit → Options in My Teamcenter and searching for it specifically (TC_current_role) — the scheduling search term does not show it. However, changing TC_current_role has an impact outside Schedule Manager because it alters how the core access rules are evaluated.
