Configure the Genealogy control

You use the Genealogy control to show the consumption history against the running work order.

When you use the Genealogy control in a System Platform symbol, you can associate it with the Button Bar control. For more information, see Associate the Button Bar control with other controls.

The Filter Genealogy By options allow the operator to limit the consumption data displayed based on users or shifts.

The operator can use the Genealogy control to:

• Reduce consumption in the current job.

• Change the reason the item was consumed by the job. This is known as "Reclassify".

• Refresh the Genealogy control.

• Switch the active user.

• Open the Help window.

• Open or launch a form, if the Path to Form Program system parameter is set.

The Genealogy control corresponds to the Genealogy tab of the MES Operator application. For more information, see the Genealogy Tab section in the MES Operator Guide or MES online help.
