New ‘Save Changes’ Button
Operators can now enter and save data while inside of an Operation’s Action without booking off. In the example below the action calls for the operator to enter the machine chamber’s humidity level. In previous versions, this data could only be captured and stored when the operator booked off or the action was completed. With release 6.9.0, a ‘Save Changes’ button can be added to any button profile. This button allows the operator to store the data and continue without booking off or completing the action.
On-Prem Integration
In our previous release (6.8.0), we extended our Sync Service (on-prem) to query MESTEC (in the cloud) for Restful API calls. Our Sync Service would then receive the record sets back and could send them to either a SQL server staging table or a flat file. In 6.9.0 we have added a 3rd option for on-prem endpoints to locate the records, which is a Restful API call.
Dispatch Time
We have added a time field to Dispatch orders. In previous versions a dispatch order had the option of adding an ‘Order Raised Date’, ‘Planned Date’, and ‘Due Date.’ Users can now add more precision to these date fields by also adding time of day.
By Customer Request…
When scanning in items on a Build Action screen, the user’s cursor will now auto focus back into the ‘Scan’ field after each item has been entered. This allows faster UX when scanning in multiple items.
We have enhanced the re-authentication process for Single Sign-On users logged into multiple tabs. Users will experience less errors when timing out and re-authenticating on multiple tabs.
A change to an Operation’s Property will now update the Operation instantly. Previously, this would not happen until the Operation’s Workflow had published.
Split transactions can now execute much faster with a new feature that allows an override to BOM splitting.
