Get started with the Work Order Management use case

Launch the Work Order Management use case from the Supervisory console (or, if configured, the Operator console) and select the Work Order Management tab. This opens a dedicated interface that provides centralized access to MES work order functions for the selected equipment.

The Work Order Management use case consists of:

Configurable page header: Displays key job metrics such as the Job Progress bar, giving users a quick overview of job performance and equipment efficiency. Page header can be dynamically adjusted based on configurable context.

Work Order list with quick filters: Displays all work orders associated with the selected equipment. Users can browse and select a work order to manage from this list. Users can apply quick filters based on work order status or actual finish time to narrow down the list and locate specific work orders efficiently. For more information, see Understand Work Order Management filters.

Work Order Management panel: Provides panel buttons (e.g., View, Create, Edit, Delete, Ready, Cancel, Clone) that are dynamically enabled based on the current status of the selected work order. By default, these buttons link to predefined AVEVA standard use case details or can be configured to trigger processes via workflows. For more information, see Execute Work Order Management use case details.

Use case detail area: The use case detail area is the interactive section for the user to execute MES use cases linked to the relevant panel buttons. The link between the panel button and the use case detail are configured based on several contextual factors such as:

• The current status of the production process

• The material being produced

• The specific equipment selected

• The role and identity of the operator

• Other custom context
