Configuring activities

You can configure Electronic Work Instructions to show a list of activities related to a loaded operation. To see activities that you add to operations in Manufacturing Process Planner, you must add the string Activities to the EWI_SinglePanelLayout, EWI_TwoPanelLayout, or EWI_ThreePanelLayout preference. Activities can be shown in either a table or a list view. The example below shows a table view.

Columns shown in the table view are configured by the EWI_ActivitiesTableColumnShown preference. Properties shown in the list view are configured by the CfgActivityLine.CellProperties preference. If there are no activities available on the current operation, the activities are hidden.

You can display more information about an activity by clicking the open button in the table row (in the first column). This button is displayed when you select or move the mouse over the row in the list or table. To register the information style sheet for CfgActivityLine properties, point to the .xrt file that shows its properties using the AWC_CfgActivityLine.INFORENDERING preference. To register the information stylesheet for the loaded operation, point to the XRT file that shows its properties using the AWC_Mfg0BvrOperation.INFORENDERING preference.

To include activities in Electronic Work Instructions reports, modify the .xsl style sheet by changing the select value in the following line to true.
