Log onto the Production Progress control

To use the Production Progress Control, the operator must log on to a session and select one or more entities that can run jobs. The operator must then log into a job. If the operator is not already logged on to a session and logged on to at least one entity the control automatically initiates the log on process by one of the following methods:

• Logging on the current InTouch user to the session.

• Presenting the operator with a log on dialog box.

After the operator is logged on to the session, the control by default presents the operator with an entity log on dialog box. These behaviors can be overridden by setting the AutoLoginUser or the AutoLogOnEnt properties to False. If this is done, logging on to a session and logging on to an entity must be done with a script. Once the user is logged onto an entity, they must start a job on the entity if one is not already running. The projected production is based on the current rate of production for the current job running on the current machine. If there is no current job or there is no current shift, the control would indicate this and not display any data. The Queue control can be used to start a job if it is included on the form, or a data entry job can be started through the Utilization Control if it is included on the form. Otherwise, the job will have to be started by using script.
