How to Define an entry for File Attachments on the Traveler
Besides the manual
File Attachment Options, you are able to configure Custom Data Entries
for File Attachments on the
Configurable Data Entry Area of the
Traveler Form.
This way you can force the user to attach a file to the Traveler or to the individual Part Records that are
attached to the Traveler. To attach the Files to the Record or Traveler,
EZ-MES is using the Record Object.
This Record Object can contain multiple file attachments.
The following figure show how the File Attachment Data Entry can be defined:
To define a File Attachment Data Entry, take the following steps:
- Enter the Label
After
finding and opening the
Step Definition you click the
Name-Value Pair Tab.
On this tab you can start filling out the information for the Configurable Data Entries.
- Select 'File Attachment' Type
From the
Value Type pulldown you select 'File Attachment'. (Only define the 'Input
to Output' if you want the File Attachment Data Entry to show up for specific products,
if it is not defined the Data Entry will show up for all products passing through
this step)
- Batch or Individual
For the File Attachment the following will happen for the different options:
- Batch
A new Record Object will be created,
and a link to this record will be attached to the Traveler. Each Part Record that is attached to the Traveler will get a link
to this File Attachment Record as well. Note: The attached files and the Record
Object containing these files will only exist once in the system. Multiple links
can exist that will link to this single object.
- Required or not?
When the 'Required to Complete Step' is Checked, the Traveler will only be able
to move to the next step if at least one file is uploaded to the Record Object.
- Click the 'Add' Button
After pressing the 'Add' button the new configured data entry will appear in the
Name-Value Pairs list. For any Traveler using this Step Definition, this entry will
now show up.
