What do the Stages mean?
When the engine is hard at work generating your schedules, you can track its progress from your caseload page. On it, there is a table that shows the status of all of the candidate schedules. The status for each one can be seen in the "Stage" column.
Following are the possible Stages:
| Stage | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Queued (1 of 6) | The candidate schedule is queued for processing, but processing has not yet begun. |
| Started (2 of 6) | One of the scheduling engines in the server farm has begin processing the candidate schedule. |
| Processing (3 of 6) | The scheduling engine has started to analyze your caseload and set up internally. |
| Solving (4 of 6) | The scheduling engine is trying to find a schedule that meets all of your required constraints. |
| Optimizing (5 of 6) | The scheduling engine has found a schedule that meets all of your required constraints! (You can't view the schedule just yet.) Now, it's working on optimizing that schedule to maximize your preferred constraints. |
| Success | The scheduling engine has generated an optimized schedule, and it's ready for you to view. |
| Did not find any solutions | The worker has given its very best effort to generate a schedule, but ran out of time. It's likely that your caseload has a mathematical conflict that needs to be corrected. See also Why didn't the engine find any results? |
| Orphaned :( | The scheduling engine was interrupted, and was unable to finish generating a schedule. |
| <something else> | Often, other messages spell out a specific error condition in your caseload. If it doesn't make sense to you, please contact Support for help deciphering the technical gibberish. |
