Introduction to the Block Management module

The module Block Management is used to create and manage blocked elements of lines. These elements (part, group, location, material, process and tool) are called block types. Blocks can be applied to different block types. Elements are blocked according to predefined rules based on the trace data of a line. Work cannot continue with the corresponding element until the block is released. The blocks have a severity level that indicates how serious the blocked element is assumed to be.
