# Live Scenario
The Live Scenario is the single active scenario whose orders are synchronised with TilliT Digital Operations for execution. It provides real-time visibility into production progress, enabling schedulers to monitor and adjust the schedule as conditions change.
## Navigation
The Live Scenario can be accessed in two ways, each providing a different level of interaction:
| Access Method | Path | Mode | Use Case |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Sidebar** | ***Scheduler*** > ***Live*** | Read-only | Presentations, monitoring, a simpler view of the current schedule |
| **Scenario board** | ***Scheduler*** > ***Scenario*** > open the Live scenario | Editable | Adding orders, enabling Auto Shift, editing allocations, and all other scheduling actions |
{% hint style="info" %}
To make changes to the Live Scenario — such as adding new orders, enabling Auto Shift, or editing allocations — you must open it from the Scenario Kanban board, not from the sidebar.
{% endhint %}
## Overview
The Live Scenario view shows the scheduling Gantt chart with all currently active and upcoming orders. From here you can:
* Monitor order progress in real time
* Add new orders directly to the live scenario
* View order details and execution status
* Manage downtime allocations
* Compare scheduled vs actual performance
## Adding Orders on the Live Scenario
You can add new orders directly to the Live Scenario. Click the **+** button at the top of the scheduler to open the Orders Store, select orders, and add them to the schedule.
{% hint style="info" %}
Only orders that have not been previously added to the scenario are visible in the Orders Store.
{% endhint %}
## Order Allocations
### Order Tooltip — Verbose Mode
Hovering over a scheduled order displays a tooltip with the following information:
| Field | Description |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Quantity** | Target production quantity |
| **Order Attributes** | Order attributes (visible when Digital Operations integration is active) |
| **Start Time** | Scheduled start time |
| **End Time** | Scheduled end time |
| **Estimated Duration** | Expected duration based on current calculations |
| **Original Duration** | Originally scheduled duration |
| **Notes** | Any notes attached to the order |
| When Compact Mode is enabled, tooltips show only order number, operation, start and end times | |
### Progress Visual Indicators
Scheduled orders on the Gantt chart display colour-coded progress bars:
| Indicator | Description |
| ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Light green bar** | Actual progress — shows real completion percentage |
| **Dark green bar** | Target progress — where production should be based on the scheduled or default run rate. Hidden when target quantity or run rate are not configured |
| **Yellow tail** | Delay indicator — shows the gap between the estimated duration and the actual duration of the order |
| Example 1 where there are delays and no target rate: | |
Example 2 where the actual running rate is behind the target rate:
### Allocation Popper
{% hint style="info" %}
This is only available in editable Live Scenario mode.
{% endhint %}
Click on a scheduled order to open the Allocation Popper, which provides detailed information across two tabs.
#### Info Tab — Regular Allocations
| Field | Description |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Due Date** | The order's required completion date |
| **Earliest Start** | Earliest the order can begin |
| **Duration** | Scheduled length (hh:mm), with efficiency factor percentage shown |
| **Estimated Duration** | Expected duration if it differs from the scheduled duration |
| **Equipment** | Assigned machines and resources |
| **Personnel** | Assigned people |
| **Order Properties** | Custom key-value attributes on the order (e.g. COLOR, SIZE) |
| **Notes** | Editable free-text note on the allocation |
#### Info Tab — Changeover Allocations
For changeover operations between two orders, the Info tab shows:
| Field | Description |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Duration** | Changeover length |
| **Equipment / Personnel** | Assigned resources |
| **Operation** | Transition shown as "from operation → to operation" |
| **Order** | Transition shown as "from order → to order" |
| **Material Properties** | Before and after values for any properties that changed. Changed values are shown in bold |
#### Execution Tab
The Execution tab tracks actual vs scheduled performance:
| Field | Description |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Start / End Time** | Actual recorded start and end times (editable) |
| **Progress** | Completion amount shown as quantity units |
| **Status** | Current state: In Progress, Paused, or Complete |
| **Performance Run Rate** | Actual throughput (units/hour) derived from real execution data |
| **Scheduled Run Rate** | Planned throughput (units/hour) from the scheduling configuration |
| **Delayed By** | How much the actual duration exceeded the expected duration (hh:mm) |
### Estimated Duration Calculation
The system calculates the estimated duration for an order using:
```
Estimated Duration = Fixed Base Time + (Quantity to Produce / Throughput Rate) / Number of Assignments
```
| Component | Description |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Fixed Base Time** | Non-throughput time built into the segment (e.g. setup or changeover) |
| **Quantity to Produce** | Total units multiplied by the percentage of work remaining |
| **Throughput Rate** | Units per second the resource can produce, from the operation's throughput configuration |
| **Number of Assignments** | More people assigned means the duration divides down proportionally |
{% hint style="info" %}
If an efficiency factor is set on the order, the result is further divided by it. A lower efficiency value (e.g. 0.5 = 50%) increases the duration, while a higher value (e.g. 1.25 = 125%) shortens it.
