•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.

By clicking the "" button, the "Create global resource" dialog appears. Here, you have to select the code, the target folder, and the required element configuration.

A global resource is added by clicking the "" button. The icon indicating the type of a resource changes and the checkbox in the "G" column is now empty.

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:

oIf an assembly line is used, conversion is not allowed.

oIf 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.

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

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