Stop Reason Categories
Machine Stop Reason Categories are used to group one or more Machine Stop Reasons, to support easier selection of the appropriate Reason when performing actions, such as explaining or recording downtime periods, and for reporting.
Stop Reason Categories are defined in MES and can be shared across plants or at an enterprise level.
Display Order property enables Categories to be sequenced in a custom sequence instead of alphabetical order, allowing priority categories to appear first in user interfaces.
Note: Each Machine Stop Reason can be assigned to only one Stop Reason Category.
