Attachments can be critically important, especially if it’s a custom-made Product with specific requirements that must be met precisely. In SkyPlanner, you can easily add attachments at both the Order level and the process step level.
- Go to Orders and create a new Order.
- Then click on + Create Order item.
- Select the item you plan to manufacture. Fill in the necessary information.
- At the bottom, you’ll find the Attachments section. Click on this field and select the file you want to share. This information will be shared with all workers involved in producing this Order.
- Click Save.
- Now, you’ll see your Order and the Process Steps on the right side.
- Click the gear icon for the first process step, Sawing in this example.
You’ll see information such as the workstations where this step can be performed and the calculation methods. At the bottom, you’ll find the option to add an attachment.
- Click on this field and add an attachment. This file will only be visible to people involved in this specific process step, admins, and head users.
- Click Save.
- Now click on Schedule to Production to send this Order to production and forward the information to the Timer.
You’ll see that the first process step where we attached a file has been sent to Saw 1.
- Go to the Timer and search for the Order and process step to which you attached files.
- Right-click and select Show More. You will now see both the attachments for the Order item (Order item files, that will appear in all Process Steps) and the one specific to the process step (job files, in this case sawing).
- If you select another task, you’ll see that it only has the Order item attachment.
