Search for a Work Center
On the Work Center view, use the search tool to search for a work center that does not appear on the current page. Enter the complete or partial Work Center name as search criteria. Press Enter on your keyboard, or click the search icon to start the search. Only the retrieved work center and its assigned work orders appear on the chart.
At least 3 characters are required as search criteria.
To return to the initial list of work centers, remove any criteria on the search tool, and then click the search icon.
Click the Expand All or Collapse All links to display or hide the work orders of all work centers at the same time. This expands or collapses work centers across all pages, and persists when you move from one page to another.
When work centers or work orders are collapsed, the chart displays only the summary bars. Summary bars are useful in the following ways:
-
You can compare the summary bars across all work centers or work orders.
-
In the Work Center view, displaying only the summary bars highlights any overloaded or underloaded resource.
You can also use the pagination controls at the right side of the time period bar to help in searching for a work center. It displays the current number of work centers displayed on the page. Click the down arrow to view and select another page. Use the previous and next arrows to move from one page to the next.
The Manufacturing Task Scheduler can display a maximum of 20 work centers or work orders per page.
