Bruce,
I don't want it to auto assign the next rev. (Mine are A, B, Marked Print,
C, Marked Print, NONE, etc...)
I'm on version 5.2 and don't have task sets yet. Sorry.
I would agree the overall Idea of EWB is good but the logic is goofy in
spots.
Undo Checkout doesn't reapprove the revision. Forces you to approve and log
a change note. Dah!
With the New Style interfacess for Jobs, Quotes and Parts both in Entry and
trackers gives us SIX of these EWB tree structure style screens. And they
all act differently.
Example: Some let you drill down on the OPERAIONS browse some don't.
You will get faked out on Jobs that are closed the drill downs just quit
working, no message the job is closed you have to fingure it out for your
self. (My users aren't that smart.)

Patrick,
That seems to be about how I had guessed so far.
I am a little surprised that it doesn't seem to auto assign the next
revision in the EWB. Also, it doesn't even seem to display the current
revision so you don't know what the next revision should be. I end up
keeping the Part File Maintenance window open to check revs & eco numbers.
Same thing with ECO numbers, seems like they are assigned manually?
Also, what if a guy has his group, and he's working on two or more ECO's at
once? I haven't found a way to grab multiple parts by ECO number and approve
and check just them in. Seems like you end up doing each part, one at a
time. Kind of clumsy if you have a few ECO's going at once with several part
numbers checked out for each.
And have you noticed this? You must add a rev to a part in order to check it
out. You can then add materials to this part and it doesn't matter if the
parts you add have revs.
I've been pitching the workbench to a couple of our engineers. So far it's a
hard sell.
BTW, are you using Task Sets?
If so, would you mind sharing?
Thanks,
Bruce

Here is how we use it.
I created ECO Groups - a group for each user who needs to edit part routings
or BOMs. Group ID = Smith, Jon Group Description = Engineering Department
When editing parts use EWB, select your group, check them out, do your
changes, then approve the revision and check them in. We use the feature to
automatically unapproved the rev on checkout.
Also if you look at the part in PART TRACKER/BOM Tab while its checked,
others can see who is working on it. You need to scroll the BOM TAB Browse
over to see the ECO GROUP ID field.
Hint: If looking thru a list of parts and need to review them to see if a
change is need, Use EWB, look up the part on the PART TAB, highlight the
part in the browse list, right click go to PART TRACKER, select the BOM Tab
to look at it. If it needs changes just escape back thru the screens to EWB
and check the part out otherwise lookup the next part.
To the Group: Doesn't it seem strange the ECO group has no security on it?
Anyone who can get into EWB can create groups? Am I missing something here?

Hi,
We are a new install working on our test company.
We have the engineering workbench & have worked throught the tutorials and
work aids. We haven't been able to take a class yet. Wondering if anybody
can share how they use this?
Thanks,
Bruce
