Custom Lot Screens

Example lot screens

tracePerspectiveViews.zip: two Perspective views, training/receiveLot and training/transferLot.

Import the screens and add them to the menu

1. In Ignition Designer, import tracePerspectiveViews.zip into the kanoaMES project and save. The views appear under training.
2. Navigate to Configuration → Application → Navigation. Add a Trace menu item with two children: Receive Lot, opening the view training/receiveLot, and Transfer Lot, opening training/transferLot.

Reference Materials: Navigation

The navigation options available to a user can be modified through the application in the navigation configuration screen. This provides the ability to weave your custom screens in alongside the provided kanoa screens, to create a seamless application.

To create a new navigation item under an existing one, click anywhere in the navigation tree and select the button. To create a new item at the root level, simply click the button without selecting a parent.

• Path: Informational. Displays the path and parentId. The parent can be cleared to place the navigation item at the root.
• Name: Add a name for the menu item that will be shown in the navigation tree.
• Project: Specify one or more runnable projects for which the item will appear. Leave blank to make it available to all projects.
• Roles: Add specific user roles required for the menu item to be visible.
• Type: Link the item to a view or page created in the Designer, or to a URL.
• Icon: Add a custom icon for this item.
• Sort Order: Define the order in which the item appears in the tree.
• Enabled: Enable or disable the item to show or hide it from the navigation.

Receive and transfer a lot

1. Open Receive Lot. Choose a raw material, enter a quantity and unit, and click Receive.
2. Confirm the new lot appears in Lot Manager at Storage\Receiving.
3. Open Transfer Lot. Choose Storage\Receiving as the source, select the lot you just received, choose Storage\Bins as the destination, enter a quantity, and click Transfer.
4. Confirm both "Lots at" tables update, and check the transfer in Lot Manager.

How the screens work:

• Receive Lot always receives into Storage\Receiving and only lists CoreForge\RM items. It picks the Raw Blending Ingredients serialization for coating items and Raw Aluminum for everything else, creates the lot, then runs a Receive operation with one output.
• Transfer Lot fills both tables with getLotActivity, then runs a Transfer with the selected lot as the input at the source and the output at the destination. It also shows the lot's trace graph.

Starting points, not templates

These screens hard-code CoreForge's items, serialization names and receiving area. The transfer screen only rejects quantities of zero or less; it doesn't check the quantity against what's available. Treat them as examples to copy from, and add that validation in your own screens.
