LINK Systems LinkNet II - Manual (Page 49)

4.12 Part Configuration
LinkNet can track many
statistics by part number as
well as tool and job. To do
this, some part information
must be configured and
associated with jobs. Figure
3.2 shows the relationship
between a machine, tooling,
material, a job, and a part.
To configure parts, select
“Configure” and then “Parts”
from the LinkNet menu. A
part listing similar to Figure
4.30 will appear. The listing
shows the part number, part
description, and part status of
all currently configured parts.
The tool status is either
“Available”, “Down For
Scheduled Maintenance” or
“Down For Non-Scheduled
Maintenance”. Buttons at the bottom of the list box are also provided to add, edit, or delete parts.

4.12.1 Adding a Part
To add a part, hit the “Add
Part” button at the bottom of the
part listing as shown in Figure
4.30. A dialog box similar to
Figure 4.31 should appear. Note
that this dialog box has “tabs”
along the top showing “General”,
“Physical Characteristics”,
“Miscellaneous”, and “Notes”.
Each of these tabs, when hit, will
bring up a different page of
options for the part. The
following sections detail each
page of settings.
