Across the top of the View Assemblies page you can see four buttons on the right of the banner.

Each View Assembly header button serves a purpose, as outlined below:

• Import: Will direct you to Production's Import/Export page, where you can download the Assemblies and Bill of Materials' CSV template files. For more details, see Import Assemblies and Bill Of Materials.
• Export: Downloads the current view of the View Assemblies page. Click the drop down in Export to choose the format it will download as, either PDF (default), CSV or XLSX.
• Add Disassembly: Takes you to the Add Disassembly page, to create a new disassembly. For more details, see Add Disassemblies.
• Add Assembly: Takes you to the Add Assembly page, to create a new assembly. For more details, see Add Assemblies & Sub-Assemblies.

Customize the View Assemblies page

Alongside filtering the View Assemblies page with the fields available to determine which Assemblies and Disassemblies are shown, you can also customize how they  are populated in the grid.

• Sort By Header: Click on the Header to sort the Assemblies in ascending or descending order, based on that header's detail. When selected, the header will show an icon to describe the sorting applied:
  • Descending: a down arrow icon will show next to the Header title
  • Ascending : an up arrow icon will show next to the Header title
    
    
    
• Group by Header: Drag and drop the Header in to the grey space above the other headers, to group the Assemblies by the top Header details. For instance, if you were to drag and drop the Assembly Type header, the View Assemblies page will consolidate the listed transactions in groups; Assembly or Disassembly. Click on each group's + icon to expand the grouping and show all transactions it included.
  

Keep and share the custom grid for future use by saving it in in the Show Toolbar options. For more details, see How to create and share default grid layouts.

Manage Assemblies

Once an Assembly has been created, it can be managed from the View Assemblies page and subsequently completed once processed.

Assembly Statuses

During the production process, use custom Assembly statuses to highlight the current status of an Assembly, with more detail than it being Parked. The custom status is applicable only for Assemblies that are the equivalent of a Parked transaction, thus haven't been completed yet. 

NOTE: Custom statuses are not applicable to Disassemblies.

Create a custom Assembly Status by heading to Settings and System, then select Assembly Statuses. In this page you're able to provide a name for the custom status and a color from the options available.

Once the custom status is set, update your Assemblies by Changing Status in the View Assemblies page. 

1. In View Assemblies, use the checkboxes available to select the Assemblies that require a status update. In the Action Cog header, select Change Status
   
   
   
   
2. An Update Status pop-up window will then show. Use the New Status drop down menu to select the next status and then select Change Status.
   
   
   
   
3. The Assembly's status will then update and a confirmation banner will show to further confirm the change has successfully applied.
   

Auto Sub Assemblies

You can create the auto sub assemblies by clicking on the blue "+" sign and create each one individually, or, you can click on the bulk action cog above them to create all the auto sub assemblies at once:

For more details, see Assembly Statuses

Assembly Kanban

Whilst the View Assemblies page provides a listed overview of your Assemblies and Disassemblies, where changes, edits and updates can be applied, use the Assembly Kanban page to view Assemblies in a progress chart. 

Any changes made to an Assembly from the View Assemblies page or the Assembly itself; whether it be the Expected Duration, Assembly By date or Status, will automatically update into the Assembly Kanban too.
