While assigning the old workflows is still valid, workflows existing prior to the update to 22.3 need to be updated in order to edit them or perform analytics on these individual steps. To do so users should:

  1. Create all steps present in the current workflows as dedicated workflow steps

  2. Open existing workflows

  3. Edit the workflow steps in these workflows

  4. Choose the right step from the dropdown of created workflow steps

  5. Save all changes

Alternatively, the workflows can also be rebuild rebuilt from scratch and set as default for their respective materials. If you encounter any issues while replacing the existing workflows please reach out to technical-support@3yourmind.com for support.

...

Starting with version 22.3 Workflows , workflows can only be created from pre-defined workflow steps. Workflow steps require a step Name and Category as mandatory input. It is advised to assign the category Printing for Printing steps, Processing for all operations required to manufacture the part, and Other for all other steps such as potentially Packaging or Quality checks. The categorization of workflow steps helps in identifying, filtering, and categorizing shop floor operations via the Advanced analytics options.

...

Every workflow step of a workflow can optionally be assigned one or multiple workstations that where the operation can be carried out and scheduled on. If not intended to create and schedule jobs with defined starting time and duration, no workstation needs to be created or assigned to the workflow step.

...

Further, an estimated default duration can be specified for every workflow step, which will be used to calculate an estimated finish date for a part once the total ordered quantity of part is scheduled for production.
