How to Use Local and Global Resources

Copy / Move resources

▪By using drag & drop in the number column, it is possible to transfer local resources from one tab of an element into the same tab of another element of the same element type.

▪Particularly for the Takt and MSA modules, individual stations incl. operators and machines, or only individual operators or individual machines can be copied from one element to another element of the same element type by using drag and drop. In order to transfer all resources, only the relevant stations may be selected (Ctrl + left mouse button). Underlying operators or machines are automatically transferred.

How to generate global resources from local resources?

When you click the Local to Global button, the Create Global Resource dialog box appears. Here, you have to select the code, the target folder, and the required element configuration.

When creating a global resource, the required element configuration must be allowed in the target folder.

Converting global resources to local resources

▪The following checks have been defined for the Takt and MSA modules for converting global sub-resources into local resources:

▪If an assembly line is used, conversion is not allowed.

▪If global stations are used, a global station can first be converted to a local station. Afterwards, it is also possible to convert global child elements into local ones.

▪If a local station is used, added global operators and machines can be converted to local ones.

How to use existing global resources?

Global resources can be inserted directly from the Explorer by using Drag & Drop or by clicking the Insert existing button from the Rows group in the "Resources" ribbon.
