What are linked operations ?

Four linked operations

    Linked operations must be executed on the same workstation. Note that unlike a fixed operation, a set of linked operations (a link) is not constrained to be alone on a workstation.

    Links have a name, a color, a position and a kind, and can be manipulated as one simple entity. To manipulate links, open the "Change Linked Operations Properties Window" by clicking the "Edit link" button, or select the Operation/ Edit operation link properties option in the main menu.


    In the above figure, the operations "Oper 3","Oper 4","Oper 5" and "Oper 6" are linked together. Learn more on the operation graphical representation here.

Note
    You can link operations of different kind (Manual,Robotized) or on different positions (Left,Right...). In this case, the kind and position of the linked operation will be those of the link as specified in the link dialog box. This means that the original position and kind properties of the operations belonging to the link will be ignored.
