A previous article explained how to add a parameter formula to an image in an instruction step. This article covers how to do the same with a work instruction step.
You can add a parameter formula to a work instruction step, which will transform into a real parameter on a work instruction on your operator’s device. 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 it. Alternatively, you can also create a new work instruction step.
- Input the formula with the following format on the targeted work instruction step description: ${Insert parameter name here}. For example, in the video, the chosen parameter is Body Material. Thus, we wrote ${Body Material} on the work instruction step description.
- Close the work instruction, and approve it.
Tip: You can add multiple parameter formulas to a work instruction step.
This configuration can be viewed by operators on an activated product order. Here’s how to view it:
- Go to the targeted 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 is Body Material, and the answer is Stainless Steel.
Note: This feature only works on work instructions that are linked to a product order.
