When a condition is set within a column, it’s it is removed as a selection from the other condition entries in the column. Also, some condition are mutually exclusive, for instance, if you have selected a blocking method as one of the conditions, then all blocking methods are removed from the list of available conditions for that column.

Conveyers are required to communicate with OMICS Rx-Universe via the OMA device interface. The conveyer will initiate an Initialization session with OMICS to establish a connection. Once the communication is established, the conveyer will request what job and decision point it needs information for, it will pass the OMICS Rx-Universe tray or Job number and a 2 digit decision point to the OMA process, OMICS Rx-Universe will take this information and find the correct job, and then the decision point request will be prefixed with the “#” to get the correct decision point station record, the OMA process will then analyze the conveyer rules for this decision point and return either a 0 or 1 back to the conveyer, based on the settings of the conveyer rules and the job being requested.
The labels used are user-defined labels _DP and _DECISION.
_DP is the decision point identifier (each decision point must be separately identified on the conveyor system) and corresponds to the job track station in Rx-Universe. For example, the first decision point on the conveyor system would be 01, and identified by _DP=01, corresponding to job track station "#01" in Rx-Universe.
_DECISION indicates whether the tray should be diverted or not - _DECISION=1 means don't divert the tray, _DECISION=2 means divert the tray. A special setting of _DECISION=99 means Rx-Universe could not find the job requested (bad code).
A sample communication session might look as follows; the conveyor has previously initialized with Rx-Universe and received a packet ID of 1234; the conveyor is requesting whether to divert job 6789 for decision point 5. Rx-Universe responds with a confirmation the tray should be diverted.

Setting up the User defined job flow labels
From the Main Menu in OmicsRx-Universe, go to Setup, Scroll down to System Settings. Under the “Job Tracking” tab, there is a table that allows for the entry of up to 40 user defined job flow labels. These labels can be used to create optional conveyer decision point settings that can be sent to OMICS Rx-Universe remotely as part of a Remote order, or they can be manually set via the Order entry screens.
