Comments for orders and work steps

What

The comment function offers you the possibility to enter additional information for orders, work steps and process labeling.

What for

You can use this function to conveniently store all important information for work steps, such as "Select vise size 2 here".

This applies to orders with special properties, e.g. "100% inspection required",as well as to marked processes, e.g. "Programming time is extended by...".

Making this "background knowledge" generally available helps you and your team to collaboratively optimize your production process.

How

You can create and access this information via the work step monitor in the machine park view as well as via the order management.
