MES Software: Creating Flow Records (Travelers)
Create new Flow Record from Flow Record List-Box (Traveler)
The following describes step by step how to create a new
Traveler.
To create new Travelers, take the following steps:
- Click the
Traveler and Reports Desktop to switch to the Traveler and Reports Menu Icons.
- Open the Traveler Listbox
- Click the 'New Traveler' icon in the upper left corner of the Listbox
After the icon is clicked a traveler form will open.
The Traveler is now created and is in the Active State. Operators will be able to
see the travelers that are in the active state, and know that this traveler needs
to start moving.
Note: Any pull down within EZ-MES is using Intellisense. So if there are too many items,
just start typing in the input field and the number of Items will be filtered.
