Conditions and Actions Library button

You use the Conditions and Actions Library to maintain the configurable conditions and actions you use during manufacturing processes. Each condition type has a specific set of actions you can choose from and assign when you create a process definition in the NPI main window.

Entry, exit, and reroute conditions

The three main types of conditions used in process definitions are entry, exit, and reroute. For each condition type, you can select and configure associated actions, then save them in a folder in the library for future use in your process definitions.
