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.
  1. Make sure that the configuration and task you want to edit are open in AutoStore Process Designer.
  2. 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.
  3. Click to select the icon for the component you want to add.
  4. 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.
