You use this function to define which line segments you want to visualize in the control view in Repetitive Manufacturing. In the control view of Sequencing, all visualization segments and the sort buffers are displayed sequentially in a column of the sequence schedule. You can see which planned orders are in a line segment at a specific time of examination. The visualization segments must therefore cover the whole production line.

You define the controlling visualization segments initially in the line hierarchy in Line Design. You can change the visualization segments from Sequencing.

• If you have not defined any sort buffers, the system uses the line hierarchy header as a visualization segment for controlling.
• If you have inserted sort buffers in the line hierarchy, the system defines all line segments on the first level of the hierarchy as controlling visualization segments (including the sort buffer).
• You can define an unlimited number of line segments as controlling visualization segments. The system then automatically selects neighboring line segments as visualization segments, ensuring that the production line is completely covered.
