Understand Work Queue tab

The Work Queue tab is used to manage the Job Queue for the active entity or the entity selected in the Accessible Entities list, and to change the state of a job at an entity. You can also use the Work Queue tab to split jobs or link jobs together.

Job sequencing can be defined in the MES Client Queue module and restrictions can be put on operators to enforce the desired workflow.

The Work Queue tab can also be used to view the routing of an upcoming job. The routing diagram can be viewed by double-clicking on any row in the Work Queue tab. The amount of jobs displayed in the grid is controlled by the Queue lookahead user privilege parameter setting for your user account in MES Client.

If you have May use job from unrelated queue permission, the Accessible Entities list is available above the grid. You can use this list to select a different entity to display its queue in the grid without making it the active entity.

When an entity that is not the active entity is selected in the Accessible Entities list, the column headers are displayed in yellow. This indicates that the grid data is read-only. You have to make the entity active to make the grid data editable (see Change the active entity).
