How to Create a Plant device

Plant users need to choose a device, which will determine what work and machine centers will be displayed in Plant. In order for a center to be displayed in Plant, you need to assign the centers to a device.

You can also assign a device group, which will determine how Plant will act, such as which fields are displayed and whether labels can be printed.

To create a plant device

  1. Open the Plant Devices window.

  2. On the Home tab, choose New.

  3. Enter the number that will represent the plant device in the No. field.

  4. Enter the name of the plant device in the Name field.

To assign a device group to a plant device

  1. Open the Plant Devices window.

  2. On the Home tab, in the Manage group, choose Edit List.

  3. In the Device Group No. field, select a group.

  1. Open the Plant Devices window.

  2. Choose the device that you want to add centers to.
