Structure of the Component Maintenance Cockpit

Use

The CMC screen is structured in such a way to provide you with as much information as possible on selected orders/operations, whether you use the single work center view or the general work center view.

Features

The following screen areas are available as you work with the CMC:

CMC Order Hierarchy

The order hierarchy is a tree structure with up to four levels: notification or order folder, user status folder, order code folder, alert setting folder, warning/status symbol for particular order/operation. The lowest level contains the actual data on the selected notifications, orders, or operations. A context menu is also available on this level by right-clicking on the symbol for the required order/operation. The CMC automatically opens the folders that contain data.

CMC Order and Operation Data

Here the CMC displays data from your selection in columns, such as priority value, order number, earliest/latest start and end dates, work center, buffer, and so on.

CMC Order Information and Tabstrips

If you click on an order number in the CMC order and operation data screen area, the CMC displays additional order details in these screen areas.

The Order information area displays information from the order hierarchy such as order number, order code, user status, and so on. Once you have double-clicked on an order number the CMC always displays this information irrespective of which tabstrip you select.

The Tabstrip area displays detailed information on a selected order. The available tabstrips are: Order , Equipment , Material , Operations , Task Lists , and Warnings and Delays .

CMC Layout and Display Options

You can change the layout and display of the CMC from the menu options:
