We will need to create a new Flow Definition to be able to create the Equipment Records that represent the real life equipment. When this Flow Definition is executed, the following properties have to be defined for each Equipment Record:
To achieve this the new Flow Definition will need steps that assign these properties. So first a number of Step Definitions are Created.
For this example we choose to split the assigning of the different equipment attributes into different Step Definitions. You could also combine the Step Definitions into a single Step Definition by definining all the Name-Value Pairs on a the single Step Definition.
Create the following Step Definitions:
Create this Step Definition using the following information:
To define the Unique name, you will add a Name-Value Pair of the Unique ID Type on the Name-Value Pairs Tab of the Step Defintition Form.
For this Step we will define general Equipment attributes that are used for any type of Equipment. We Create the Step Definition using the following information:
We will add 2 Name-Value Pair of the Text Type on the Name-Value Pairs Tab of the Step Defintition Form. One for the supplier Serial Number and one for the Supplier Model Number.
During this Step the Equipment is attached to a Location. We Create the Step Definition using the following information:
We will add a Name-Value Pair of the Location Type on the Name-Value Pairs Tab of the Step Defintition Form.
At the moment the new Equipment Records we move through this step the operator will be asked to select the Location for the equipment from a list of existing Location.
During this step the attributes that are specific for this Equipment Definition are assigned to the Equipment Records passing through this step.
Because this step is specific for this Equipment Definition we will constrain this Flow Definition by adding an Input-Output constraint. By adding this constraint, the Flow Definition 'knows' which type of equipment to make when a Flow Record is started.
We Create the Step Definition using the following information:
We will contrain this flow by adding an Input-Output constraint on the Input-Output Tab of the Step Defintition Form. For this Input-Output constraint we use Pt IR Metal Deposition as Input and as Output Part Definition.
Now the Step Definitions for this Create Equipment flow are defined, we can create a new Flow Definition.
First we have to fill out the information on the Flow Defintion General Tab:
After filling out the Flow Defintion General Tab, the Step Definitions can be added to the Flow Definition. This happens on the 'Steps' tab of the Flow Defintion Form.
