VERSION NOTE:
Procedure Runs can be created in all supported versions of Tempo MES. This article provides an overview of procedure runs in Tempo v7.X.X web application, as well as links to related articles. For information about creating a procedure run in Tempo v6.5.X, review the Procedure Runs Overview (v6.5.X) article.
During the drafting process, procedures are authored within the Tempo web application as procedure templates. Once a procedure template has been authored and approved, it can be used to create a procedure run. (Customers that use the MES package can also add procedures to batch templates; procedures may be arranged within specific unit operations within the batch template. Once a batch template has been authored and approved, it can be assigned for execution as a batch run. Each batch run contains one or more procedure runs.)
Users in the web application can create a new procedure run from the Procedure Runs page. Depending on the stage a procedure run is in, certain actions can be taken from the procedure run in the web app, such as assigning operators to execute the run or submitting a completed procedure run for approval.
Accessing the Procedure Runs page
From the left navigation panel, click cloud Tempo > Procedures > Runs. A list of the procedure runs that the user can view or edit displays.
Access to procedure runs is limited based upon a user's role and whether they have been assigned to a specific procedure run.
From this page, users can access the following functions:
- Create a new procedure run.
- Manage or review an existing procedure run.
- Customize filter views to fit display preferences.
- Click Columns to select which columns to display in the list.
- Columns reflect specific information stored on a procedure run within the system, including information such as Title, Initiator, State, and Date Started.
- Click filter_list Filter next to a column of your choice, then select a filter criteria and enter a term in the search bar to filter results.
- Click Reset Filters to reset the filter view.
- Click Columns to select which columns to display in the list.
Creating a new procedure run
Tempo automatically creates a summary of a procedure run within the Tempo web app as soon as an operator begins executing that procedure. (If a procedure is part of a batch run, Tempo creates the procedure run when the operator begins executing that specific procedure within the batch run.)
Understanding procedure run tabs
Once a procedure run has been created, users can access the run by clicking the procedure title on the Procedure Runs page (cloud Tempo > Procedures > Runs).
Each tab located at the top of a procedure run provides access to specific information about the run:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Summary | Displays high-level information about the Progress, Duration, Users, Details, Exceptions/A-Notes and Material Outputs of the run. |
| Assign | Provides the ability to assign users to execute this procedure and view assignees. |
| Exceptions | Displays any exceptions triggered while executing the procedure run. |
| Parameters | Displays a list of any parameters added to this run's procedure template. |
| Steps | Displays a list of the steps that make up this procedure run with information about execution progress. |
| Resources | Displays information about the resources added to this run's procedure template. |
| A-Notes | Displays the type and details of any A-Note(s) created during execution. |
| History | Provides a history of key actions related to the procedure run. |
| Attachments | Provides access to upload or view documents attached to the procedure run. |
