1. Feature Availability

Schedule View is an organization-level module, not enabled by default.
To activate it:

  1. Contact 3DPrinterOS Support via chat or at illia@3dprinteros.com

  2. Once enabled, the “Schedule View” tab appears under Printers.

  3. Org-level configuration options will become visible in your Organization → Printing settings.

2. Setup: Define Bed Cleaning (After-Print) Time

The Schedule View uses a “bed-cleaning delay” between jobs to make scheduling accurate.

In Organization Settings → Printing, scroll to:
Schedule View: After Print Delay (seconds)
Enter a default delay value (e.g. 180 for 3 minutes).
This value applies to all printers.

3. Open Schedule View

Navigate to Printers → Schedule view.
You’ll see:

  • One lane per printer

  • A timeline (scalable)

  • Top bar controls for filters, search, and Add Printer

  • Buttons for Auto-Optimize, Today, and timeline scale (Minutes / Hourly / Daily / Weekly)

4. Using Filters, Search, and Timeline Controls

  • Filter (funnel icon): same filters as Printer List (e.g., printer state, group).

  • Search: To locate a printer.

  • Today: jumps back to current time.

  • Time Scale: switch between minute, hour, day, or week view.

5. Job Visibility on the Timeline

  • Use the status filter (dropdown at the top) to control what’s shown:

    • All - shows every job state

    • Successfully Finished - completed prints (locked)

    • Printing - jobs currently running (locked)

    • Aborted / Canceled / Paused - visible for reference, not editable

    • Not Started - queued jobs that can be moved or rescheduled

  • Finished and In-progress jobs are fixed in place.

  • Queued jobs can be dragged within the same lane or to another compatible printer.

  • Bed-cleaning time appears as a small gap between jobs.

  • Jobs without print time (e.g., non-G-code files): automatically assigned a 30-minute default duration on the schedule.

6. Moving and Managing Jobs

Within the Same Printer

  • Drag a job within the same lane to change its order.

  • The next jobs on that printer automatically shift to the right, accounting for print time and cleaning delay.

  • Jobs on other printers are not affected.

  • Overlaps are not allowed. The system automatically adjusts the schedule.

Between Printers

  • Drag a job into another printer’s lane.

  • The system checks printer-type compatibility before allowing the move.

  • If compatible, jobs shift and timings recalculate for both lanes.

  • The moved job becomes the first queued job on the destination printer (drop position is ignored).

7. Job Overlay

Clicking a queued or unfinished job opens the Job Overlay, showing:

  • File name and metadata

  • Estimated duration

  • Queue number

  • Control options (Start, Cancel, etc.)

Finished or in-progress jobs can’t be dragged or edited here.

8. Auto-Optimize

This feature redistributes queued jobs among idle printers to maximize utilization.
