Create an operation step group

A step group represents a set of one or more sub-operation steps. You can define multiple step groups for an operation.

Create an operation step group

1. Select the operation for which you want to create a step group and go to the Steps tab.

2. Do one of the following:

   • Right-click on the Steps tab and on the context menu click New Step Group.

   • On the ribbon, go to the Current View tab and click New Step Group.

   A new step group is added.

3. In the new step group's Properties window, complete the following settings:

   ID

   The unique ID of the operation step.

   Description

   A brief description for the step group.

   Sequence

   The sequence for the step group. The sequence number determines the order in which step groups are executed. All steps in a lower number step group must be completed or bypassed before any step in a higher number step group starts. You can assign the same sequence number to step groups that can be performed simultaneously.

   Repeatability

   Specifies whether the steps contained in this step group can be repeated for each lot produced.

4. Save the changes.
