MES Web Portal component configuration

You can create and configure the following components that are used in MES Web Portal:

• Utilization states, reason groups, and reasons (see Configure utilization states and reasons)

• Entities (see Configure entities)

• Lines (see Configure lines)

• Work orders (see Create a work order)

Access to each of the configuration pages starts at the Home page, shown below. The procedures in the topics referenced in the previous bullet list provide detailed steps for navigating to the appropriate configuration pages.

Note that, because utilization states and reasons are specified for entities, and entities need to exist in the system to create lines, the suggested order for configuring components is:

1. Configure utilization states, reason groups, and reasons that will be used with the entities.

2. Configure the entities that will be used in the lines.

3. Configure the lines.

4. Create work orders
