    Prioritization Overview

    Found on the Home page, the Prioritization module is used for assigning a Priority Value to projects. Assigning levels of importance will quickly tell operators which orders need to be addressed first. The screen is divided into three main sections: Top Bar, Work To Be Prioritized, and Priority List.

    The main things to note about this layout:

    • The top section is used for loading and filtering available data to prioritize work
    • Below that, work is split into lists showing "Work to be Prioritized" (hasn't yet been prioritized) and "Priority List" (has been prioritized)
      • Items on both lists can freely be moved up or down and from table to table

    Top Bar

    At the top of the page is a section with some options for filtering the work you want displayed.

    You'll also see a few buttons to filter results:

    If you are on a Priority Version that's not the current one, you can tell by seeing the Set Current and View Current buttons

    • Set Current button will set this priority as Current
    • View Current brings you right back to the Current priority

      • You may also filter parts that are between two specific Tags
    Workflow Control:
    • In this menu is the Prioritize Routed Parts checkbox
      • Checking this box will give you all the parts that have a current route associated with them
    • You'll also see a filter that goes between two process node tags
      • This is useful to further filter through the different parts that you would like to prioritize

    Condense Results Button:

    This button appears when there is a search going on of any sort.

    • Gives you the ability to condense the results of the search you have performed
    • You will also see column filters to narrow down the search results
      • if you want to filter by a given column, you have the option to filter specific values in that column
      • these column filters stack onto each other
        • if you were to filter by both Work Order and Part Number, all the rows would have both Work Order and Part Number

    Work To Be Prioritized

    Displayed in this section is a list of work that has not yet been assigned a priority.
    Using the Search Bar will conduct a general search of all the unprioritized work.
