Properties is a SkyPlanner feature that allows you to categorize products based on shared characteristics.
You can link a specific property to specific workstations and, if you select to use “Allow similarity“, SkyPlanner will group orders that share this property consecutively if it doesn’t affect the other Dynamic Priorities rules you have set up.
The primary purpose of Properties is to save setup time and enhance control over resource management, ultimately streamlining production planning.
- Go to the Warehouse module and select Products.
- Find the Product to which you want to add a property and click on it.
- In the Product’s management panel, go to the Properties tab.
- Click on Manage properties on the left side.
- A new window will open — click + Add property.
- In the pop-up window, enter a name for the property. This should represent a category you want specific products to share, such as Raw Material, Dimensions, Color. When you’re done, click OK, then Close.
- Back in the Product view, click the blue + Add property button on the right.
- From the dropdown, select the property you just created.
- Enter a value for this property — this will be used to group jobs.
Example: If the property is Color, values could be Red, Blue, or Green.
Note: Remember the Product needs to have an attribute related to the Product.
Once you have added a value, click Save properties.
Now you have added a property to a Product!
