Working at a work center lets you process a queue of open run steps in one place rather than jumping between individual runs. From the Runs page, open the Workcenter shortcut card and pick a work center. ION opens the work center workspace, showing every open run step for that location grouped into queue sections.

Step queue

The queue groups the work center’s run steps into collapsible sections:
  • Overdue: steps past their scheduled end.
  • Now: steps you (or someone) are currently checked into.
  • Next: ready, unblocked steps to pick up next.
  • Blocked: steps waiting on a dependency or other blocker.
Select a step to open it in the center pane. The step header, the linked inventory card if any, and the work instructions appear there.

Work a step

For fields, measurements, build requirements, sign-off fields, and failure paths, see Run a step. The same action buttons apply here: Start / Check In, Check In, Check Out, Complete, and Create Issue. The action bar shows the step’s location, which you can change with the location picker. Use the arrow next to it to switch lenses: View in Run jumps to the same step inside its run, so you can see where it sits in the full sequence.
