Feature Flags

Feature flags turn optional parts of Busroot on or off. At account level each flag is On or Off, and the default is Off. Plants, station groups and stations can set most flags again for themselves. See Feature flags for the full list and how the levels combine.

These flags exist only at account level:

Flag Effect
Enable Lost Production Cost Shows the cost of lost production. Needs a value on each SKU or an idle cost on each station. See Lost production cost.
Auto-End on Quantity Complete New schedules end automatically when they reach their target quantity. See Gantt & Schedules.
Allow Drag Between Stations on Gantt Lets planners move a schedule to another station by dragging it on the Gantt.
Allow Historical Production Correction Lets Admins correct production counts on schedules that have already ended, from the action menu on the schedule list and the Gantt.
Enable Tasks Turns on Tasks. Set by Output Industries.
Enable Cycle Time Analysis Shows the Cycle Time Analysis page. Set by Output Industries.

Schedule

Upload Transforms controls how the columns of an uploaded schedule file are mapped into Busroot. Output Industries sets this up for you. See Gantt & Schedules.

Formatting & Units

Setting Values Default Effect
Duration Format Month, Day, Hour, Minute; Day, Hour, Minute; Hour, Minute; Minute Month, Day, Hour, Minute How durations, such as a downtime or the length of a schedule, are shown across Busroot.
Maximum Production Count per Schedule Whole number, 1 to 9,999,999 Empty (no limit) The most units one schedule can record.

The Duration Format setting

Maximum Production Count per Schedule is a safety net against a very wrong count, such as a mistyped parts per cycle. Set it a little above the largest schedule you expect, or leave it empty for no limit. For what happens when a schedule reaches it, see Production Tracking and Maximum production count per schedule.

Task Lists and Reasons

The Task Lists and Reasons panels choose which Task lists and reasons are available across the account. Plants, station groups and stations can change this for themselves. See Tasks and Reasons.

Data Warehouse Access

If your account has data warehouse access, this panel shows the connection details: database type (PostgreSQL), host, port, database, username and password. The fields are read only. Use them to connect your own BI tool. See Power BI & Grafana.
