Work Queue
The Work Queue is a useful tool for saving time on the production floor. Using the process work queue means that the Process Details are already populating the work order and the report associated with it when the operator goes to run the process. This means that when your operators start a process, they only select from an already populated list of work orders which saves on errors in your reports and keeps your line running processes rather than pausing to enter data. The operators can use the work queue to enter the Process details of the next process while the current process is running streamlining your production and potentially increasing revenue.
To access the Work Queue, select the ‘Rectifiers’ tab then click on the ‘Work Queue’ icon. The operator/user must have access to this tier of security to utilize this feature. Once signed in, you may create a Work Queue item by clicking on the plus icon 
in the upper left of the Work Queue window. From there, you can either create a process from Quick Start, from a program, or from a part. These features may be enabled or disabled in the settings. Select what type of process you want to create, then select the rectifier you want it to run on. If you don’t know which rectifier you want the process to run on, select Any Rectifier and you will be able to choose the rectifier when you decide to run the process.
From this point forward, the process creating a new work queue item is identical to creating a new process from a rectifier to run immediately.
Click the ‘Next’ button to continue.
The next step will be different depending on if you created the process from quick start, program, or part.
Enter the total area, current density, initial ramp time, and target thickness, then click next.
Pick the program you wish to run for the process, then click next.
Pick the part you wish to run for the process, then click next.
The next screen is where you will populate the Work Order and Process Details note that you can still run multiple work orders in a single process using the Work Queue, These work orders will be listed on a single line in the work queue. Once all work orders associated with a process are entered, click the ‘Next’ button. You will be asked to verify the program to run, after verification the process will be added to the work queue.
Now to run a process, select the process to run, verify security tier access, and the process will start. If the ‘Any Rectifier” was selected when creating the process in the Work Queue, then the operator must enter the rectifier that the process will run on at the time they start the run. Once the process is done running it will no longer show up in the Work Queue.
