Key Set and Workstation Assignments
Workflow security is location-based; that is, you assign permissions to a personnel group based on equipment locations and workstations within your facility. Security is a combination of permissions (key sets) plus workstation(s) plus location, and this combination is assigned to a group.
Assigning Key Sets and Workstations
You have the option of adding workstations to key sets or adding key sets to workstations. You may find that one way works better for you than the other. For example, if you have many workstations, but only a few key sets, you may prefer to add workstations to key sets. If so, use the Edit by Key Set option. If you have many key sets, but only a few workstations, use the Edit by Workstation option.
The following table describes the common information and options available for security configuration.
