Production Manager Workspace

The production manager uses the workspace to maximize its comprehensive overview of production activities, allowing users to quickly assess key metrics and manufacturing orders. The workspace features intuitive dashboards that highlight open and overdue MO's, planned MO's and product monitors.

Users can easily drill down into specific data points for detailed insights, enabling them to manage processes, address issues, and streamline workflows effectively. This dual-layered approach empowers production managers to decide while maintaining operational efficiency.

This workspace contains these widgets:
Widget Description
My Day Displays the current date, greeting message, and the user's icon and first name.

Hover over a bar line to show the MO count and the date in a tooltip. You can click a bar line to drill down. On the records page, right-click a record and select Open to perform a drillback to M3.

Programs and sorting orders used in the workspace

The drillback functionality in some of the workspace widgets require specific configuration for filtering the correct data in Infor M3. When you perform a drillback to any program, check for the Function Search query. If the Function Search is disabled, you must create a record by specifying a combination of program, sorting order, and table for the search on 'Standard Search. Open' (CMS021/B).

This table shows the programs with their corresponding sorting order and table information all of which should be in active status:
