This article will aim to explain the Piece Page and the different features that are displayed within it.

Every physical piece that is entered into the system will have its own page, displaying all the details about that particular piece. A piece page can be found by navigating to Plan > Pieces, or by clicking on a piece's name anywhere in the software (for example, within an order or a run).

Piece Summary

The first box is the Piece Summary. This displays:

• A render of the piece

• The piece name, which can be edited using the edit icon

• The order that it belongs to (including a link to the order)

• The status

• Production workflow

• The date and time it was created

It also includes a table that breaks down the prep and production workflows of the piece.

If a run is In Progress or Complete, the name of the run will include a direct link to the run, and a blue arrow will appear that expands into more details of that run.

Comments

The comments shown in this box are automatically carried through from their associated resource (for example: the related Order, Run, or Prep Task). Therefore, if a user enters a comment in the linked order, it will appear under the comments section of that piece with a link to the source order.

Traceability Report

The Traceability Report tracks every action that was undertaken regarding the piece.

The total number of events (actions) is displayed on the right side of the Filter field, and the date of each action can be found next to the corresponding event.

The Traceability Report table can be filtered by various categories:

CAD Model Changes

The CAD Model Changes section contains all settings that were defined during creation of the line item that includes the piece, as well as any subsequent changes made to those settings.

The arrow can be clicked to expand the action details, such as the material assigned to the piece. On the right side of the table, the exact time and the name of the person who performed the action will be displayed.

CAD Model Replaced

This indicates if and when the CAD file was replaced and provides a download link to the replacement model.

Print and Post-Process Events

This section displays all events related to production of the piece, including links to the corresponding machines and process types.

Work Checklist Changes and Work Instruction Report Events

This section displays all changes made to the production workflow, along with all inputs captured through the QR application.

These inputs are requested based on the work instructions linked to each workflow step that the piece has undergone.

In Preparation Events

These events detail all steps related to the Prep Workflow. This includes:

• Status changes for each step

• Changes made to the prep workflow

• Changes made to corresponding workflow steps

Manual Notes

Manual Notes are notes that are written at the line item level.

Other

The Other category typically refers to additions and changes made to the overall order that the piece is part of or other miscellaneous resources.
