"Assignment" tab

The order of the assigned work contents in the graphic should be read from bottom to top. In the tree view, however, the order is to be read from top to bottom .

Right-click on an element to open the context menu.

Entry	Meaning
Assign	Assign element to selected operator
Copy	Copy element
Cut	Cut element
Insert	Insert element before or after current row
New row	Insert new row
Delete row	Delete selected row
Open	Open element, reference, or folder
Document 1/2/3	Add document
Search element	Open search dialog

Click on the "Select columns" button to open a menu that allows you to show and hide the desired columns. Which columns are available is determined by the settings made in the administration.

Column	Explanation
Code	Code of the element
Index	Index of the element
Variant	Variant of the element
Description	Description of the element
S (standard text indicator)	Optionally, the "S" column for marking standard text can be displayed. This standard text indicator does NOT refer to the original element, but to the text in the work contents when a text is changed by renaming it in the assignment.
Type	Element type
tg	Time of the element (e.g. tg) from TiCon Base Note: The time type that is set in the element configuration in the administration is displayed.
Load	Load percentage of operator / station
Factor	Factor by which the element time is multiplied within the balancing, e.g. to indicate proportional use of the element.
tg total	Total time
Pieces	Number of workpieces Input mode: Number of pieces according to the settings in the "Workplace organization" tab Note: In the mix balancing, the number of pieces comes from the total quantity of the respective variant entered in the "Variants" tab.
tg total * pieces	Total time * number of pieces
∑ tg total	Sum of times
∑ tg total * pieces	Sum of times * number of pieces
Criteria	Assigned criteria
Value added	Assigned indicators
Category	Assigned category
Tags	Assigned tags
Comment	Assigned comment
Type	Type of the element
Status	Assigned status
G (global element)	Element is a global element
X (Exclusive usage)
Product variants	Product variants to which the element is assigned
Variant keys	Variant key of the product variants to which the element is assigned
Dependencies	Dependencies (predecessor/successor)
Color	Assigned color
Picture 1/2/3	Assigned picture(s)
Document 1/2/3	Assigned document(s)

The "Edit" button in the "Assignment" ribbon can be used to change the factor for element rows. Furthermore, you can add a cycle time and station factor for the station rows.

Variables can also be used to define the factor. To do this, the use of factors must be selected in the element configuration.

Element factor:

Input field where the factor of an element or of several highlighted elements can be overwritten. It is possible to add a numeric factor to several rows.

There are the following options:

•"Evenly distributed": Elements with the same occurrence in the balancing are divided in such a way that the factor in sum is equal to the entered value. If, for example, the factor 1 is entered with two occurrences, the factor 0.5 results; for 3 occurrences, the factor is 0.33333 etc. It is sufficient to highlight one occurrence of the element, but it is also possible to highlight several. The value, which is entered in connection with "Evenly distributed", is divided by the occurrence. If "Evenly distributed" is inactive, the entered factor is assigned to all highlighted rows.

•"Apply for all variants": If this option is active, the change affects all variants. If the option is inactive, only the currently displayed variants are affected.

Cycle time/Station factor:

These factors are used to map identical work contents at stations. Factors other than 1 are displayed at the station in the "Factor" column. Either the cycle time factor or the station factor per station can be used. In order to enter a cycle time / station factor, select the desired station and use "Edit" > "Factor" in the "Assignment" ribbon.

“Cycle time factor”: At this station, 1 operator walks along with the station for n cycles (= rotating station).

The cycle time of 37 s was multiplied by 3

"Station factor": The time of all assigned elements will be divided virtually. For example, for factor = 2 the time of the assigned work content will be cut into half.

The element time of 32,22 s was divided by 2.
