In Business Central, the production capacity load view shows lines based on settings tied to the user ID. This means each user can see different work centers and different views, and you control all of this from the capacity load setup under Actions. In many setups, one production-responsible person maintains these parameters for everyone rather than each operator configuring their own screen.
How the line view is defined per user ID in Business Central
The lines you see in the capacity load view are controlled by the setup on the General tab. This setup is defined per user ID in Business Central, so the view is specific to each individual login.
Because the view is tied to the user, you can have different views and different work centers for different people. One operator can see one work center, while another operator sees something else entirely.
Where to find the capacity load setup
If you want to see the selection for other users, go from Actions to the capacity load setup. In here you will see all the different users connected to all the different screens being worked on in the production area.
This gives you an overview of what everybody else is filtering on, so you can check how each screen is configured across the production floor.
Who maintains the parameters in production
When you set this up, the user out in the production area does not necessarily maintain the settings himself. Instead, there is usually a person responsible for the production who maintains the parameters.
This responsible person makes sure that everyone out on the floor sees exactly what they need to see. So it is not necessarily the single user who maintains the parameters. It could be set up by a few people who oversee the whole production area.
Q&A
How is the capacity load line view defined in Business Central?
The line view is defined by the General tab setup, and that setup is tied to the user ID. This means each user can have a different view and different work centers.
Where do you change the view for other users?
Go from Actions to the capacity load setup. There you can see all users and the screens they work on, and what each of them is filtering on.
Does each operator maintain their own capacity load settings?
Not necessarily. In many setups a production-responsible person maintains the parameters for everyone, making sure each user sees what they need rather than each operator configuring their own screen.
