Process Properties

Process Class ID

The ID of the process class to which you want to assign the process. You can also type a new process class name.

Process ID

A unique ID for the process. Process ID identifies the process in all MES data records, so must be unique and is not editable after the process definition is first saved.

Description

A brief description or common name for the process.

Version

A version for the process. This property is used only in conjunction with the process class ID to implement versioning.

Type the name that identifies your process in the Process Class ID box, and then enter the required version in the Version box. Select the Process ID box and MES combines those two values into a unique process ID.

Level

The level at which to organize the processes. For more information on levels, see Setting the Process Level.

Status list

The status for the process. For more information on statuses, see Setting the Process Status.

Notes

Additional information about this process.

Dynamic Routing

Specifies whether this process is for produced items that require dynamic routing.

A dynamic routing process is used to create jobs and work orders required to handle dynamic routing. Dynamic routing processes are normally not complete processes that can create a product from beginning to end, but rather "mini-processes" that are intended to correct a specific sort of defect from one or more specific operations in the normal process used to create a product. For more information on dynamic routing, see Dynamic Routing.

Creator

The name of the user who created the process.

Approver

The name of the person who approved the process.

The date and time when the process was created.
