PS. Agents

An Agent is an entity that picks blocks to perform activities on. There is a one-to-one relationship between an Agent and a piece of equipment. One Agent can only ever represent one piece of equipment, and each piece of equipment can only be represented by one Agent. Agents are automatically created when a new piece of equipment is added into the project and are named after the piece of equipment they represent.

  • Agents are grouped in the Calendar by their image type.

  • Agents are animated in the Animation by their image type.

  • Truck routes are highlighted in the Animation by the agent color.

  • Some Gantt bar colours default to the agent colour.
