Assign a Property Group

About this task

When you assign a property group to a route, you can provide values for custom properties that are specific to the route. For example, if the route is for assembling a motor, you can provide the assembly line number, types of motors that are normally assembled on the line, and other details specific to the route.

You can assign a property group to a route or an operation.
