Using groups of areas

You can group several areas and define a name for the group.

Group Name	Despatch
Association 1	DespatchAccum
Association 2	11
Association 3	12
Comment	Areas 10, 11, 12 = "Despatch"

In the above example, areas 10, 11, and 12 are associated with the name "Despatch". Any command assigned to "Despatch" belongs to areas 10, 11, and 12.

Command	CONVEYOR = 1;
Area	Despatch
Comment	This command belongs to Areas 10, 11 and 12

You can also define a group that includes other groups.

Group Name	Plantwide
Association 1	Receivals
Association 2	Process
Association 3	Despatch
Comment	Associate every area with "Plantwide"

In this example, the name "Plantwide" refers to every area defined in the "Receivals", "Process", and "Despatch" groups.

To define a group of areas:

Choose System | Groups. The Groups dialog box appears.
Complete the Groups dialog box.
Click Add to append a new record, or Replace to modify an existing record.
