General

The general settings allow a user to configure how the Operator Dashboard functions on the shop floor.

Force Downtime Categorization: In enabled, Operators will not be able to close the categorization window after the machine has been inactive for more than the specified in Categorization Prompt. To dismiss, the Operator must provide a reason for downtime

Remove Rejects from Part Count: If enabled, any rejects will automatically be deducted from good parts. If disabled, Operators will be presented with the option to deduct the rejects from the good parts. This allows the Operator to distinguish between scrap and non-conforming parts that may be able to be reworked.

Downtime
