Understanding the Scheduled Horizon and Graph Lines

The Scheduled Horizon in PMI shows how far into the future schedules are active and where PMI’s SMART forecast begins.

In Legacy Tables and Schedule Views:

  • Red vertical line = Today
  • Dashed green vertical line = Scheduled Horizon
  • Beyond the green line, users can manually enter schedules. If left blank, PMI auto-generates SMART hours.

In the Day-to-Day (Labor Graph) View:

  • Dotted black vertical line = Today
  • Dashed green vertical line = Scheduled Horizon

These visual markers help you compare scheduled hours with PMI’s suggested SMART schedule.

If you don’t see the Scheduled Horizon or Today lines:

  • You may not be in the graph (Day-to-Day) view
  • You may be viewing past or already finalized periods
  • Your user role or cockpit view setup may limit what’s shown

Tip: The Scheduled Horizon is usually set by the Head of Department (HOD) under View Settings — often to a fixed number of days ahead (e.g., 14, 28 or 90). If you don’t see the green line immediately, try using the date picker to advance one month at a time — the Scheduled Horizon may be set further into the future.
