Assign a work area to a process station
You can link a work area from the bill of equipment (BOE) structure to a process station. The linked work area allows you to easily assign resources to operations.
Navigate to the plant BOP.
Open the process area or process line in which you want to work.
Open the process station.
Select the Resources subtab.
Click Link Workarea .
In the Link Workarea dialog box, expand the process line, select the process station, and click Link Workarea.
All resources associated to the work area are available to the process station, so they can be assigned to operations in that station.
Create operations for the station. Next, you assign resources to operations.
Select an operation in the Operations table, and click the Assigned Resources tab in the lower table.
Select and drag a resource in the Resources subtab to the Assigned Resources tab.
