4 About the Software
Production Station Interface
The components of the Production interface include upper and lower status bars
and tabs that display information on Job screens.
The upper and lower status bars can be viewed
regardless of the tab displayed.
The components differ slightly depending on whether the workstation is
integrated with the Syntera program (refer to “Enabling the Syntera Interface” on
page 5).
Elements of the Production interface can be customized using Production
Preferences (refer to “Production Preferences” on page 19). Fonts and font sizes
for tool bars, tables, and other elements can be customized for each operator. FIR
data views and tooltips can be activated to appear at the bottom of Job screens.
Upper Status Bar
The upper status bar on a Maxsys/MX Series Production application contains the
following:
