Stations

A station is a resource with a fixed location. A mill, a press, an assembly cell, a bench: it stays where it is, work comes to it, and it can be drawn on the site plan.

Stations in the sidebar (“Resources with a fixed location, placeable on a floorplan”) holds every station type your workspace activated. It is one page for all of them, not one page per type. The selector at the top right picks which type you look at.

Which types appear here

A type belongs to the station class when it declares geometry. You set that in Resource types when you activate or define the type. Types that move — people, hand tools, forklifts — belong to Assets instead.

The sidebar never grows when you add a type. A new station type appears in this page’s selector.

The tabs

• {Type name} — the list of resources of the selected type.
• Groups — clusters of those resources.
• Lists — the reference lists this type carries. The tab appears only when the type has one.
• Floorplan — the site plan. It shows every station type at once, so it is the same plan whichever type you came from. See The floorplan.

The list

The list sorts and filters from its column headers, like every list in Orkyo — see Sorting and filtering lists.

Open a resource to edit it:

• Code — a short identifier for dense boards. A code must be unique at its site.
• Name and Description.
• Capacity — how much the station holds. Capacity violations surface as conflicts.
• Capabilities — the criteria this station satisfies, from your shared criteria vocabulary. Auto-scheduling and validation match requests against these.
• Custom fields — the fields the type declares. Spindle speed, tool changer positions, a link to a manual: whatever the type records. See Resource types.

The schedule of one station

Every row carries a Manage Schedule action, and the row name opens the same view from the Utilization board. It shows one station’s own time on a calendar: the work booked on it, and the periods it is not available.

Drag or resize a booking to move the work. This reschedules the request itself, so the board and the conflict list agree with what you see here. Bookings carry the conflict colours the board uses, so an overbooked station reads the same on both.

Select an empty slot to choose between two things: assign a request to this station, or block the time as an absence. Select an absence to change it. See Scheduling and availability for how absences and site closures combine.

Viewers see the calendar and can not change it.

Groups

Groups cluster stations by site, area, or function — Hall 1, Cleanrooms, CNC cells. Two reasons to use them:

• Navigation — large lists stay manageable when the board and dialogs can work group-by-group.
• Shared capabilities — a capability set on a group applies to its members, so Cleanroom certified lives once on the Cleanrooms group instead of on each room.

Groups belong to one type. Each station type keeps its own.

Lists

A station type can carry lists — a maintenance log per machine is the common one. The Lists tab shows them for the selected type. Administrators define the shape of a list in Configuration; editors fill it in here.

Import and export

With a station type open, the top bar’s Export and Import act on that type. A type’s own fields travel in their own columns, so a type you defined yourself round-trips without any per-type work. See Import and export.
