This Enact update includes the following features:
-
Client-Specific Custom Translations
Language labels enable global manufacturers to translate all custom-named items in Enact SPC software. Names of parts, processes, features, and many other fields—including data structure pages and filtering/sorting features—can be displayed to users in their own language. Now manufacturers can develop a common product nomenclature worldwide while still allowing local workers to view Enact in their native language—improving adoption of a single, global quality solution. Clients can translate their custom-named items at their own pace, and all translations are done within the application to simplify the process.
Benefit: Clients can now create custom translations in English (US), English (UK), Spanish (Mexico), German, and Vietnamese. Support for other standard languages will be introduced in future Enact releases.
-
Data Collection Workflow Improvements
Operators can now choose the process they are operating prior to selecting the part being run on that process. An operator selecting a particular process will no longer need to select a part if a production assignment exists for that process. Additionally, if an operator has access to only one process for a given data collection, the part selection screen can be bypassed entirely by using production assignments. In addition, this update introduces the ability to assign a process to a particular lot, which makes the operators' data entry workflow even simpler and more reliable.
Benefit: Strengthens the production assignments functionality added in the 2017 Q4 update.
-
Enact Licensing Process Simplified
Administrators no longer need to contact their InfinityQS account manager to purchase new licenses or modify an existing license purchase. We call it “self-serve purchasing.” License counts can be directly modified from the Enact Licenses landing page by any administrator with the appropriate permissions. Billing changes take effect immediately; changes to a client's license count will be instantly reflected in the client's billing statement.
Benefit: Makes Enact purchasing more flexible and intuitive for clients who are beginning a new operation and need a trial period before choosing the best license count for their needs. It also makes expansion of an existing system even simpler and clearer.
-
"My Processes" Window Improved
The “My Processes” option has been moved to the general user menu and is no longer specific to the work dashboard.
Benefit: Any user can open the My Processes window and change the processes they are viewing on dashboard tiles that support “My Processes,” improving usability.
