Change Summary​

Count Editor and Item States​

We introduced the concept of item states in v1.9 to provide a mechanism for coding scrap reasons, identifying 'First Pass' vs 'Rework', as well as providing support for lines that run multiple production orders at the same time.

In v1.10, you can now configure item states for specific counters i.e infeed, outfeed or waste or all counters, and we have updated the Production Count Editor to dynamically generate count buttons based on your itemState configuration. The Count editor now has a tab to select between using buttons or the table. The table should still be used when assigning item or production orders to counts.

User Security​

We made some changes to our user security to improve the performance of the user table when an Ignition user source is pointed to a very large set of users in Active Directory. You can now configure which user sources should be user to populate the user table from on the Configuration tab.

securityConfig

  • We now return error messages if a user cannot be created or updated.
  • Roles table now displays user source column. If a role is created through Kanoa, then its user source will be considered null.
  • Roles table now has filter option that allows disabled roles to be shown. Option is by default false.
  • Roles that originate from a user source cannot be entirely deleted, only disabled. Roles created through Kanoa may be deleted.
  • Roles created through Kanoa may have their name changed by double-clicking to edit the cell. Roles that originate from a user source may not have their name changed.
  • Fixed issue where users could not be edited if no assets had been defined.

Scheduling​

  • We improved the performance of shift and operations scheduling in preparation of additional intelligent scheduling features coming in future releases.
  • Recurring Options has been updated and fixes applied to end on or after as well as 'Monthly'.
  • Auto-Schedule toggles mode on Lines with simultaneous scheduled events. We now check and only set the mode to the first event found.
  • Dragging a production order now correctly splits the order quantity across multiple events if an event gets split across shifts.
  • Editing 'This and Following Events' selected the wrong day for sites with a large timezone difference. This is fixed.
  • Recurring Shift Blocks with UNTIL keyword were slowing down the shift calendar. This has been fixed.

Schedulers can now choose between scheduling all or a partial amount when dragging production orders onto the calendar.

The calendar start day is now configurable, os if your week starts on a Monday, you can reflect that in the calendar.
