Guidelines for creating workstations

Here are some guidelines for the workstations you might want to create. Remember that these are only guidelines and should be adapted to your installation. Keep the model as simple as possible.

Note: Do not delete a workstation description or change its type if it has operations defined to it. First, request a report detailing the operations that use that particular workstation and would therefore be affected by the change. To request the report, use fastpath 1.4.4.3.

When updating a workstation description, changes to certain fields will never take effect in the current plan as long as that workstation exists in the plan: the old definition is always carried forward. These fields are workstation type, option (AUTOMATION only) reporting attribute, control on servers, control on resources 1 and 2, and closed status. If you need the change to be reflected in the plan, make the same change in the plan using the MODIFYING CURRENT PLAN (MCP) panel.
