Workstations

A workstation represents a place where production work happens. A workstation can be linked to a composition and can have its own set of fields, for example roles a person can act in at that workstation.

#Before you start

Production is not governed by permission groups. Any member of an organization with the Production module enabled can create, view, and add fields to workstations.

#The Workstations list

Open Production > Workstations.

Sort defaults to the ID column, A–Z. The toolbar shows a Create icon.

#Create a workstation

1. From the list, select the Create icon.
2. Leave Auto checked to let OCTO Ops assign the Workstation ID, or uncheck it and type your own.
3. Enter a Name.
4. Optionally enter a Description.
5. Select Create workstation.

Saving takes you to the Workstations list, not to the new workstation's profile.

#The workstation profile

Shows the Name, ID - Status, Description (if set), and a Fields card with its own New field button and a table (Code, Name, Position — "No fields yet" if empty).

#Add a field to a workstation

1. From the workstation's profile, select New field.
2. Optionally enter a Code.
3. Enter a Name.
4. Optionally enter a Position.
5. Choose one or more Action type checkboxes — Operator, QC, Supervisor — a field can be flagged for more than one.
6. Optionally enter a Description.
7. Select Create field.

You see a toast reading "Field created successfully" and are returned to the workstation's profile.

#Current limitations

• There is no edit screen for workstations, and no edit or delete option for a workstation's fields once created.
• No status options are set up for workstations, so the Status column and field are normally blank.
• There is no Delete control for workstations.
