How to add a component to a task
This procedure describes how to add components to a task in an AutoStore configuration.
A process must have a single capture component and a single route component. A process may optionally have one or more process
components, although it can have no more than one copy of any particular process component.
- Make sure that the configuration and task you want to edit are open in AutoStore Process Designer.
-
In the Toolbox, expand the group that contains the component.
The default groups are Capture, Process, and Route, although a task may appear in a user-created group.
- Click to select the icon for the component you want to add.
-
Use one of the following methods to add the component to the task:
Component type Do this Capture Drag the component into the task. If a process already has a capture component, you will be prompted whether to replace it. Process Drag the component onto a connection line between two components in the task. You can drop the component when the no-drop pointer changes to a pointer that indicates that a component is on a valid insertion point. The pointer only appears over an insertion point that supports the selected component.Route Drag the component into the task. If a process already has a route component, you will be prompted whether to replace it. You cannot add a process or route component until after you add a capture component to a task.
