Add a position
Add a part to a work order, with its drawing and model, one position at a time.
Positions are added one at a time, each with its own details and files. There is no bulk import, so a job with twenty parts is built up twenty times. Adding a position is not restricted to admins and moderators; anyone on the team can do it.
Opening the form
Open the work order, then use the Add position button in its navbar. A panel titled Upload position slides in. After you add a part the panel stays open and resets itself, so you can add the next one without reopening it.
Attaching the files
At the top of the panel are two drop zones. Drag a file in or click to browse.
- Drawing takes a PDF. Dropping one in fills the part name from the file name, so name your drawings the way you want the parts to read.
- 3D model takes a STEP file, as
.stpor.step.
Both are optional. You can add a position with no files and attach them later by adding the part again, though it is simplest to include them now.
Filling in the details
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Number | The position's number on the job. Assigned for you and not editable. |
| Name | The part name. Filled from the drawing if you attached one, and editable either way. Required. |
| Quantity | How many to make. Quick buttons set 1, 2, 5, 10, 50, or 100. Required. |
| Price | The price of one part. Required. |
| Price with VAT | Shown only when the job uses VAT, worked out for you from the price. Read-only. |
| Status | Starts at the work order's status. |
| Priority | Starts at the work order's priority. |
| Deadline | Starts at the work order's deadline. |
Status, priority, and deadline start from the work order's own values, so a new part lines up with the job unless you change it.
Adding it
Press Upload position. The part is created, and any drawing or model you attached is uploaded to it.
If a file upload fails
The part and its files are added together. If the upload fails partway, the position is removed again rather than left behind without its files, and you are asked to try again.
Files use your storage allowance
Drawings and models count against your plan's storage, in separate allowances. If you have run out, the upload is refused. The Usage page shows what is left.
