I have a particularly frustrating request. I cannot seem to get the correct event to even begin the process.
This is what I am trying to accomplish:
When an operator “Logs In” to Data Collection and Starts a “Production Activity” (Or any for that matter), the “Queue” will fill with the operators Job/Assembly/Operation/Etc.
I’ve created a Panel Card “Operation Activity” with a Text Area below the Queue that I want to populate with the Job Operation Comments (JobOper.CommentText) and allow the operator to fill in data that we require for each operation. (See Image 1)
When the operator has completed the operation and selects “End Activity”, I want the Job Operation Comments to be pulled in, including the additional information that an operator may add in the previous screen to the “Notes” section (txtNote) field. (See Image 2)
I’ve tried a million and 1 different kinds of “Online-Workarounds” but none seem to be the solution.
From you description I’m not quite sure I have a complete idea how you want to display/store values.
From MES End Activity:
Do you simply want append JobOper.CommentText along with any text entered by the user and store in LaborDtl.LaborNote?
Or instead make a direct update to JobOper.CommentText - so it shows up in the Job tracker/entry forms?
Or… maybe store in some other table.field/UD?
Otherwise, pulling JobOper.CommentText should be pretty straightforward.
Bruce thanks for the response!
My original attempt was to just have a new field that directly called the job operation comments and then the user can copy and paste into the notes section and update information when they are ending their activity.
Currently they have to click more info in the queue card, copy the job operation comments, then paste them into the notes field when ending their activity. For some of our employees this is a bit much as they are not as technical.
I would really like to have the operation comments populate into the custom field on the main page that I created in data collection. Then operators can add any additional information in that field. And when they hit and activity, this brings in those additional comments added into the note section of end activity. Sorry if this is a bit confusing. If we can somehow get a feel to just populate the operation comments and then activity that would be perfect for the meantime.
