Add and configure a lot generator

You can add and group lot generators in one location in the project: the Lot Generators node in the root node of the project. When you locate lot generators in one folder, AVEVA™ Production Management makes it easier for you to organize and maintain them.

Tip: You can use Lot Generator folders to separate lot generators into logical groups.

To add a Lot generator folder

1. In Project Explorer, right-click Lot Generators, point to Add Item, point to Lot Generators, and then click Lot Generator Folder. A new LotGeneratorFolder appears.

   

2. Rename the folder with a meaningful name.

3. (Optional) Use the DisplayOrderGroup property and DisplayOrderIndex property to change the display order of the item.
