Work Center Types Explained
Overview
Section titled “Overview”Every Work Center has a resource type (resourceType) that classifies what kind of
resource it represents. It’s used for organizing, filtering, and scheduling — it doesn’t
restrict what a Work Center can actually do.
resourceType | Description |
|---|---|
| MACHINE | A piece of equipment — press, cutter, folder, laminator, etc. |
| HUMAN | A person or an operator/work station staffed by people |
| TOOL | A tool or instrument used during production |
| LOCATION | A place or area — storage, staging, a shop-floor zone |
Choosing the right type
Section titled “Choosing the right type”Pick the type that best matches the real resource. The type is metadata for grouping and reporting; you can change it later.
Note:
PREPRESS,PRESS, andPOSTPRESSare job statuses (stages a job moves through), not Work Center types — don’t confuse the two.
