Add a file or web page to a job specification

You can add a file or web page to a job specification to support an operator during production. For example, the file or web page can contain information relative to how to set the setpoint value (represented by the specification) for the entity.

To allow users to open a file or web page that has been added to a specification, you can use the following MES Stateful API Documents class methods in a custom application:

• EditFile()

• PrintFile()
