Product Launching

Working with productions is the most interesting thing. But first, the production needs to be launched.

Product Launch modal window

Production launch can happen in following ways:

  • by pressing “In progress” status from “To do” on the production item

  • by pressing Launch button in More actions menu on on the production item

  • by pressing “Add and Launch” button on the “New production” pop-up

  • by pressing “Start” button on a production workflow canvas

  • by pressing “Status” icon on a production workflow canvas

  • by pressing Launch button after multi select function

New production can be launched only for products/components with active items: product, version, configuration, workflow and variant.

Let get closer to one of the way:

  1. Open Production page.

  2. Click on production status and change it from "To do" to "In progress".

  3. In lauch modal window select following parametrs - version, configuration, variant, workflow, production method.

  4. Select the same parametr for components.

  5. Check your product before launchig.

  6. Click on "Lauch" button for saving.

The system selects the same variants for the components of the main production if they are identical.

For example, for the S/Red main production and the S/Red component. And S/Red and Red/S will be considered different.

By default, the latest published production version, the first configuration, and the first available workflow are pulled up.

Let's consider other ways to lauch productions:

  • by pressing Launch button in More actions menu on on the production item

  • by pressing “Add and Launch” button on the “New production” pop-up

  • by pressing “Start” button on a production workflow canvas

  • by pressing Launch button after multi select function

Default info about launched production item

  • Production in To do status and newly launched production always have 0% progress bar

  • A production progress bar has the same color as a status icon.

  • The progress bar formula (%): 100% / number of all tasks in production) * number of tasks in Done/From stock/Canceled statuses (include tasks inside components).

  • The progress bar of a component is calculated according to the component's readiness and affects the progress bar of the entire production.

  • By default, the production priority is medium and priority changes are not inherited by all components or tasks.

  • By default, the order's priority is medium and changes in priority are followed by all production components.

  • Hesh calculates and shows "Time spent" information on every press of Info button.
