To increase the precision of your work instructions, you can also directly write an article’s parameter formula to an image in a work instruction. That way, an operator can immediately see its parameter directly on the work instruction. Here’s how:
- Click Quality Management in the homepage sidebar.
- Click Quality Procedures.
- Click an existing article category.
- Select the targeted work instruction.
- Go to the work instruction step where you would like to write the parameter formula on, and click Open.
- Using a Text Box, input the parameter formula with the following format: ${Parameter key}. For example, in the video, the chosen parameter key is Paint_Type. Thus, we wrote ${Paint_Type} on the Text Box.
- Close the work instruction, and approve it.
Tip: You can add multiple parameter formulas to a work instruction's image.
This configuration can be viewed by operators on an activated product order. Here’s how to view it:
- Go to the targetted product order.
- Click the targetted work instruction.
- Navigate to the work instruction step where the parameter has been added to.
In this video, the chosen parameter key is Paint_Type, and the answer is Glossy.
Note: This feature only works on work instructions that are linked to a product order.
