Start an Instigation

As mentioned earlier, once it has been decided that work must be done elsewhere on a robot part, then an Instigator is the one who initiates that a move take place to transport the assemblies to another location.

Once logged in as a person in the Instigation role, you can begin to assign parameters to the Instigation move as follows:

Instigation Start

Starting an Instigation

You will be taken to this screen which allows the move parameters to be filled-in. Notice at the top, underneath the TAR Logo, that there are breadcrumbs to mark your navigation as you traverse through the pages defined for your role. You can also log-out at any time and be taken back to the TAR Login screen to login as a different user in a different role, if desired.

On the far right, there is a label that also tells you what page you are currently on; and every page in the site will have this same "look-and-feel" to it.

Moving on down the page, there are various sections, each of which has fields that must be filled in before the move can be submitted for review.

It is important to note that the parameters of the move are not validated until the page is submitted.

The primary fields required for the successful submission of an Instigation are as follows:

The other parameters have default values in them and will be used upon submission.

To get started, select the "Change" button for selecting a start-up location. Since this is a very detailed and articulate operation; it is explained in its’ own section, here.

Once Source and Destination locations have been selected, the next task that must be performed is to decide what type of move it is that will take place, how many men it will take and how long it will take. Other things to consider will be when do you want the move to take place'

To begin completing these tasks, click on the drop down combo box for assigning a description as to defining what the move encompasses...

Move Resources

Move Resources

As can be seen, there are several "canned-move" definitions that can be selected to use for the particular move on which you’re working. The drop down grid control also shows how many men it typically takes to complete this standard type of move and how long it should take to complete.

As an Instigator, you’re not limited to just these moves, as you can create your own custom move, as shown below.

Custom Move Creation

Custom Move Creation

One of the selections in the drop down combo is to create a new, unique custom description name for the move on which you’re working. One word of caution: these custom moves are written to the database so be very articulate and consult with your team-mates to make sure that indeed, you need to assign a new move.

If you do decide that a custom move is to be mandated; then the Manpower and Duration fields must be assigned as well. These fields are validated upon submission and the stipulations of their validity are as follows:

If one or more of these parameters is invalid you will be notified upon submission of the Instigation.

Moving along, the next details of the move that should be examined are the date and time that the move is desired.

Desired Move Time

Desired Move Time

Changing the Desired Move Date/Time

By clicking the "Change" button in the "Move Details" section, you can change when you want the move to take place. Use 24-hour Military time for the time portion.

By default, the Desired move time will be the same time as the Instigation Initiation time.

The last section of the Instigation move simply allows you to define if you want an email to be sent to someone else, and the importance of the move.

Priority Level

Once you are satisfied with how the form looks, click the "Continue" button which will allow you to confirm the parameters of this move.
