Introduction

This document provides instructions for setting up a feed to the promised jobs report in your internet browser. 

• The Dynamic WIP screen is a tool to help monitor daily production.
• It shows the total number of jobs currently in process.
• It shows the total jobs shipped.
• You choose what stations you want to view and monitor.
• The screen automatically refreshes itself.

Procedure

Ask your administrator to make a directory /var/www/html/lab_htm. Link it to $CWD/lab_htm:

ln -s /var/www/html/lab_htm $CWD/lab_htm

From the Optifacts Main Menu:

Select Option 3 – Editor Utilities and press Enter.

Select Option 6 – Configuration Editor and press Enter.

Select Option 6 – Edit Custom Configuration and press Enter

Add the following entry:

• Open a browser—key in the address of the file for the wipscr.htm file using the IP address of your server.

Example:

(http://your_IP_Address/lab_htm/track_data/wipscr.htm):

You may choose to save this screen in your favorites.

• Put in a name such as. DYNAMIC WORK IN PROCESS SCREEN to make it easy to find again in your favorites list. 

You may further want to have this tab show at the top of your browser for convenience.

• If so, add it to your favorite bar.

Once you followed the procedure above and your system rebooted to start the work in process program, you should be able to click on the new favorite you created in your browser to see the work in process screen. It should update automatically based on the time interval that you built into the custom configuration editor above.

The screen shows the Station Descriptions that you had created in the mapping process. (Refer to the Dynamic WIP (Work in Progress) Screen document for instructions on setting up stations and descriptions.)

Previous refers to the number of jobs that were in that station group before today

IN Today shows how many jobs have moved into those stations since midnight

Out Today shows the number that moved out of those stations since midnight

WIP is the total jobs in the station group as a total of Previous + IN Today - OUT Today

We will also show up to 4 columns of the WIP total for previous hours in the day, so you can see how WIP has changed through the last 4 hours. 

The Lab Totals line shows the total number of jobs, including those not mapped to specific stations above. The Lab Totals line includes the jobs displayed above and includes jobs in stations outside of the ones mapped for display on this screen.
