File extensions

MES facilitates the distribution of online documentation to the shop floor. The system also supports URLs for web-based documentation. For example, files and web pages can include instructions about how to prepare an entity for running a job, checklists when performing preventive maintenance, or details about how to execute an operation or step.

The system supports any file type that can be associated with a program on the client’s Windows machine to view, edit, or print files of that type.

The File Extensions module is in the Master Data Config group in the Navigation Bar. For more information on groups and modules, see Groups and modules.

When you open the File Extensions workspace tab, a list of all the existing file extension entries is shown.
