Workstations

A workstation represents an area, machine, or team on your shop floor. Assigning work orders to workstations helps you plan capacity and see what each part of production is doing.

Create a workstation

1. Go to Settings → Workstations.
2. Click New workstation.
3. Give it a name (for example, Mixing, Packaging, or Line 1).
4. Save it so it becomes available on work orders.

Assign work to a workstation

1. Open a work order.
2. Choose the workstation that will run the job.
3. Save — the assignment appears on the order and on the work order board.

Plan with workstations

Use	How it helps
Filtering	Show only the jobs for one station on the board
Capacity	Spot overloaded stations before they bottleneck
Hand-offs	Make it clear which team owns each build

Keep workstation names short and consistent with how your team already refers to areas on the floor — it makes the board easier to scan.

Workstations describe where work happens; they don’t change how components are issued or how stock moves. Those follow the work order lifecycle.
