Introduction
We are excited to introduce the new Production Configuration module in GelatoConnect Workflow, designed to give you more control over your production processes. With this new module, you can create and manage configurations for all your products, including defining production steps, mapping them to specific machines, downloading test plates, and more. Currently, this module is available upon request, so please reach out to your Gelato contact if you're interested in accessing it.
The Production Configuration module is organized into different tabs, each representing configuration groups. For each group, you’ll see a list of products on the left, displaying their names along with a configured percentage count. This count reflects the active configurations, total configuration count, and the percentage of active configurations. By clicking on any product configuration, you will get a detailed view of the associated production lines and supported formats.
User Access
All users can create new production lines, while those with specific read-write permissions can also edit or delete configurations. Additionally, users can download test plates to verify and validate the configurations by selecting different production steps.
