Enable line balancing for operations
You can define the sequence of flows between the operations and use all the PERT commands on stations and operations in the Teamcenter rich client.
Note
If your administrator has enabled line balancing using the preference EP_EnableLineBalancing, you can only view operations that include process resources in process resource interaction (PRI) view. Line balancing and sequencing of operations are not allowed at the same time.
PERT for operations is unavailable if line balancing is enabled.
Create process and Compound operation are unavailable if line balancing is disabled.
Procedure
Log on with the administrator credentials to set up the preference to show or hide line balancing.
On the Home page, click Preference.
Search for EP_EnableLineBalancing in the search bar.
Select EP_EnableLineBalancing.
Set the value for the preference.
If the value is set to False, PERT for
operations is enabled.
If the value is set to True, PERT for
operations is disabled and PERT commands are inaccessible.
