Step 2: Understand the Station Progress Overview
In the upper section of the screen, you’ll see a table with several columns giving a detailed overview of ongoing production orders at the station. Important columns include:
Order: Shows the unique number for each order in progress.
Line: Each production order can contain multiple lines with individual tasks.
Order Status: Indicates whether the order is created, in progress, or completed.
Station Name: Displays the name of the workstation handling the order.
Location: Shows where in the production area the order is being processed.
Customer Reference: Provides a reference to the customer for the order.
Time: Shows the amount of time allocated for the task at the station.
Article: Describes the product or component being worked on.
Station Start/Finish: Displays the start and finish dates for the task.
Employee: Shows which employee is responsible for the task.
Delivery Date: Indicates when the order is expected to be delivered.
Step 3: Filter and Find Orders
At the top of the screen, you can use filters to narrow down the display to specific workstations, employees, or orders.
Use the filters to focus on a particular station, employee, or order. You can also use the search function to find specific orders based on customer reference or article description.
Step 4: View and Update Progress
The Station Start column shows when the task is scheduled to begin, and Station Finish shows when the task is expected or has been completed.
A green status indicator means the task is completed.
A red status indicator means the task is delayed.
A blue status indicator means the task is scheduled in the future and not complete.
Step 5: Report Progress
When a task is completed or progress needs to be updated, you can click on Station Start to report 100% or 0% progress, or choose the Action Menu (three dots) next to the task to perform specific actions such as:
Reports
Details: Shows details of the selected order line.
Order Details: Provides an overview of the entire order and its related details.
Line Label: Allows you to print a label for the specific order line, useful for labeling products or materials at the station.
Not Complete 0%: Resets the task progress to 0%.
Restart Progress: This function allows you to restart progress on a specific task or order line. This can be necessary if a previous progress update was incorrect or if a task needs to be redone.
Start Time Registration: Select this option to start time tracking on a specific task or production order. If you are registered on another task it will close this.
Stop Work : Select this option when the days end.
Register Progress: Used to manually register progress for the selected task. Here, you can update information like time spent, completion, or report any issues encountered.
Documents: Opens the documents related to the specific order or create a new.

Maps: Displays the location or work area for the task on a map. This is especially useful for fieldwork or location-based tasks.

This action menu gives you a flexible and efficient way to manage production orders, allowing you to monitor and adjust progress directly from the workstation.
Step 6: Complete Progress Reporting
Once you have updated the status for all relevant tasks, the system will automatically record the progress and update delivery and production data. This provides a clear overview of production efficiency and any bottlenecks.
