Insert Procedure Objects

The Unit Procedures, Operations, and Phases panes of the Recipe Editor dialog box use a cursor that appears as a grey rectangle. Whenever you add an object, it is always inserted below the cursor. When you insert an object, always position the cursor immediately above the location where the object is to be inserted. The only exception to this guideline is when a branch is expanded beyond the default size. In this case, the insertion of the additional branches is made to the right of the last leg of the branch.

To insert a unit procedure

1. On the Unit Procedure toolbar, click the Add Unit Procedure icon.

   The Add Unit Procedure dialog box appears.

   The Process Instances in the list correspond to the process class selections and instance definitions that you defined using the Equipment Requirements Editor.

   For more information on Equipment Requirements, see Assigning Equipment to a Recipe section.

   

2. Select a Process Instance from the list.

3. Type a name for the Unit Procedure in the Name box (16 characters maximum).

To insert a phase

8. On the main toolbar, click the Add Phase icon.

   The Add Phases dialog box appears.

   

9. Click the Type arrow and select a phase type from the list.

   The Phase Type corresponds to the process class instance selection made for the corresponding unit procedure. The six types of available phases are described in the following table.

   Phase Type	Description
   Process	Lists the process phases defined in the Process Model Editor for the process instance that was assigned to the operation that is currently being defined.
