Solutions Schedule COM is comprised of five tightly integrated control elements:

• The Schedule Area - where time bars are created and interacted with and through which developers define the type of Gantt style end-user interaction, varying degrees of accuracy and supporting information that can be surfaced.
• The Multi Column List View | Data Grid - where developers define style and presentation of the resource data.
• The Resource List Items - which originate in the List View area and carry through the Scheduling Area for contiguous representation of resources and the tasks and roles assigned to them across the timeline.
• The Variable Scale Timeline Ruler Area - which offers direct time line customization for creating plans and schedules based on time types and time lines of seconds to years.
• The Resource Allocation TimeBars - which reside in the Schedule Area that complete DBI’s unique Gantt Style, intuitively interactive, drag and drop planning and scheduling surface. Each TimeBar is directly associated with the Enterprise data, presenting dates, start and end times, specific resource related data including allocation details.
