Procedure

    By default, the Open page appears, displaying a list of process orders grouped by the associated execution path in a tabular format. The process orders are sorted based on their status (execution order), that, is, Active, Planning, Next, or Pending. In the table displaying the list of open orders and their details, you can resize a column or drag and drop a column to a new position.

    Note: The number of records displayed in the Open page depends on the value that is configured for the maxRecordsToFetch property in the app.properties.json file.
    Depending on your installation, access the app.properties.json file in the following folder:
    • Enterprise installation: <Install Directory>/PlantApplicationsDocker/plantapps-web-docker/mnt/configfiles/production-scheduler-app/prod/{{appVersion}}/<appname>.yml
    • Standard installation: <Install Directory>\config-rep\production-scheduler-app\prod\{{appVersion}}\<appname>.yml
