If the Work Center Popup Enabled parameter is selected, a separate form will open when you select an operation, task, or activity and select an action button, such as Add Run or Start Indirect. You can then perform the desired action on the newly opened form. For example, if you select an operation and tap Add Run, the Workset Maintenance form is opened, allowing you to add the operation to your workset using that form.

If the Work Center Popup Enabled parameter is cleared, most actions listed in the Tasks section or Workset section will be performed directly from the Work Center form. For example, if you select an operation and select Add Run, the operation is immediately added to your workset without opening any additional forms.

There are two different sets of buttons for this form: one for workset-enabled employees and one for non-workset-enabled employees. The appropriate button configuration will display depending on how your employee type is configured.

The user can view employee number and employee name on the forms.

• Employee Number: The number from the ERP that used to identify the employee.
• Employee Name: The name of the employee associated with the employee number that comes from the ERP.

This form is surrounded by a colored border called the work status indicator. This indicator tells employees and supervisors at a glance how well a work center is keeping up with the scheduled production progress for the current operation.
