    Factors Controlling Which Jobs Are Displayed:

    All Parts that can be treated at the selected Station will be displayed in this table

    • For the treatment in question, if the part has been routed to a different station it will not appear on the Unprioritized Tasks list.
    • If a part has undergone all treatments that a station provides, it will no longer appear.

    In this image, you can see that each row is for only one treatment.
    In some cases this means the part is routed to this station more than once, for a different treatment each time.

    Prioritizing routes to this station will serve to route this part to the station
    All parts that have been routed to a station can be viewed as routes to that station, as shown in the image below.
