- Every… min.prod.: every x minutes of production the task will be launched.
- Sta.: The task will start when the status has been activated in the process.
- Comment: comments related to the task.
- Days of the week: once the task is ready to be launched, because one of the launching criteria has been reached, the task will then have a “Due Date”, or suitable date in which the task should be carried out. When we mark the days of the week in which we want the task to be carried out, the Due Date will be modified in order to "adjust" to the marked days. In other words, the task will be carried out on the marked days if there is tolerance (next point).
- Event: in this field you indicate with which event you want the autocontrol task to be launched, it can be when:
- The result changes.
- The work order changes.
- The result or the work order change.
- A new result is manually inserted.
- A work order stops.
- A field changes in results. It only applies when starting a work order.
NOTES: The space located on the right side of "Event" is enabled only for the option "A field changes in results". In this field, the user can indicate the variable id of a field (user can add several Ids separated by ";") or it can be left empty to launch the task when there is a change in the value of any field.
NOTES: The launch of autocontrol tasks due to order change will not be carried out if the order was paused or pre-finished.
NOTES: autocontrol tasks launched by event remain pending unless the same tasks are triggered later, at which time they will go to "expired" status.
- Stop process check: if it is necessary to stop the process before realizing the task. The user will see it marked on his screen.
- Req. PIN: indicates if the user is obliged to introduce his/her PIN code before approving the task.
- Tolerance -: minor tolerance means that the task will be shown to the working user before the Due Date. For example, if the task is launched every 1440 natural minutes, the task will be launched every 1440 minutes and will have a Due Date every 1440 minutes. If there is a minor tolerance of, for example, 10%, the task will be launched every 1440 minutes and will have a Due Date of 1440 minutes after the previous task, but because of the minor tolerance, it will appear 144 minutes before the Due Date. In other words, the working user will be able to see the task and to anticipate to its realization.
- Tolerance +: the launching criteria is extended in % after the Due Date, before the task gets blocked and cannot be carried out anymore. For example, a task that is carried out every 1440 natural minutes, with a tolerance + of 10%, will remain on the working user's screen, if he did not carry out the task, 144 minutes after the Due Date.
NOTES: If all the fields 'Every' (first 4 fields of this form), are left zero, then the status of the task will never be converted automatically into 'Not done', which could cause the accumulation of old tasks. For more information, please see Autocontrol.
NOTES: Tolerances only affect autocontrol tasks scheduled to be launched by time or number of pieces.
