To inspect the ATM, it is most useful to use a pressure plot, which is essentially a histogram of number of hours per LST per OSD. This tells me how many hours in a certain time bin is being requested or is available. The amount available is many inputs, including weather, frequency, and precommitted time. The amount requested depends on the OSDs of the new proposals. I need to balance the new request against what is available. To do so, I need to really understand the details of both the available time and the requested time.

As a scheduler I want the system to build the Pressure Plots so I can understand the available and requested time demands. |

| As a scheduler I would like to generate a Pressure Plot to represent the ATM so I have a holistic view of the available Time. | As a scheduler I want the pressure plots to update when I change the ATM so they will be correct. | As a scheduler I want an easy way to modify an OSD I have identified in the pressure plot so I don't waste time tracking it down. |

| As a scheduler I want a way to identify underutilized LST/GST ranges so I can modify SPs to efficiently fill those ranges. |

Small adjustments in the ATM or and OSD can have big consequences for the available time. As a scheduler, I explore how these changes can make an efficient schedule. As there are a lot of working parts though (many proposals, many inputs to the ATM), I like to return to previous states to assess the impact of a small adjustment. I would like to be able to save a version the schedule so I can return to it later if needed. I would like a detailed version history so I can inspect many different versions if I need to.

As a scheduler I want to identify Source Conflicts in the OSDs so I can make a note of them for the TAC. | As a scheduler I want ADs/OSDs that request multi semester observations to be clearly identified in the UI so I can understand how they impact future semesters. | As a scheduler I want ADs that have external facilities to be automatically marked with N so they won't be accounted for in the scheduling. | As a scheduler I want the system to generate SPs for OSDs because the algorithm may do the majority of the cases sufficiently. | As a scheduler I want to be able to initiate process multiple times so I can iterate on the assigned SPs given a ATM. |

| As a scheduler I want OSDs with SPs of N to not be modified by the algorithm because these OSDs are rejected and will not be scheduled. |

|
| As a scheduler I want OSDs with SPs that are locked to not be modified by the algorithm so the SPs of those OSDs do not change. |

|
| As a scheduler I want OSDs with SPs of F to not be modified by the algorithm because these are fixed dates. |

| As a scheduler I want to be able to modify a system generated SP because I know better. |

Once I am satisfied assigning scheduling priorities and providing comments for the TAC, I need to generate some reports for the TAC. I need both a summary of the ATM and the OSDs for my facility as well as an overview of the proposals/OSDs. I want these in different formats and I will both want a way to interact with the information associated with the Proposals in an efficient way when I'm at the TAC. I will likely do a lot of filtering by different proposal/OSD attributes. I also will want a way to generate a printed view of these summaries/reports because the TAC likes to look at pdfs too.

As a scheduler I want to create a Facility Report so I can provide a narrative about the scheduling issues of my Facility which includes an LST (orGST) pressure plot. | As a scheduler I want to create a Proposal Summary so there is a list of relevant information for each proposal which provides context for the TAC meeting discussion |
