How-to Configure the Cycle Time Widget

Summary 

 The Cycle Time Widget in Production Wrokbench is a progress bar which tracks the initial serial scan of the client. This widget shows in real time the progress of the Shop Order. In order to see the progress bar, it is necessary to set a configuration at the Generic Attribute Maintenance. After that, there are two routes which the user can choose from: continue the configuration by SQC Configuration or by Target Maintenance.  

Generic Attribute Maintenance

To enable the Cycle Time Widget,

1. Navigate to Administration > Generic Attribute Maintenance
2. Enter PRoject in the table field and enter Cycle in the Attribute Name field

3.  Set the ps_cycle_time_enable attribute in TRUE
4. Set the ps_cycle_time_color_percent attribute in the colors as needed; 0--->50% GREEN; 50--->99% ORANGE, 99% or more RED
