Manual Dashboard
I. Manual Dashboard Configuration
- Component Identifier: SopWidgetBox
- Component Name: Manual Dashboard
- Component Category: run (Plugin)
The Manual Dashboard component is located in the plugin module "Manual Dashboard" component, formerly named SOP Component Box. It contains the following components:
- Process Filter
- Step List Component
- SOP File Display Box
- Statistical Parameter Display Box
- Production Parameter List
- Production Material List
- Material Input Box
- Production Control
- Batch Material Operation
- Step Monitoring Display Box
- Process SOP Display Box
1. Process Filter
The Process Filter is the entry component of the Manual Dashboard and the trigger for other components. When a different station is selected, all components in the current page will be initialized, including sockets, data, message notifications, etc. Currently supports settings: Default Option, Station Trigger, SOP Selection (Deprecated), etc.
(1) Station Trigger
Station Trigger is a new feature in version 2.7.0. It can bind corresponding variables, that is, when the station changes, the selected station will be passed to the selected variable, achieving the purpose of associating with CMS system variables for some custom functions.
(2) SOP Selection
Currently deprecated. If you encounter problems, please upgrade the version or pay attention to the following FAQ.

(3) Default Station Selection Function (Supported in 2.6.1)
- Takes effect when no default process/station configuration is set.
- When IP and username are set for manual stations, set the default selection logic.
- When IP matches, the process is selected by default. Check if the username is an administrator or matches. If it matches, it is selected; otherwise, it is not selected by default.

2. Step List Component

The data of the Step List Component comes from SOP Management. By binding processes and recipes, creating step procedures, it displays effects like the following:

3. SOP File Display Box
The data of the SOP File Display Box component also comes from SOP Management, supporting the display of images, videos, PDFs, etc.
![]() | ![]() |
|---|---|
Switch through left and right arrows.
Although the data of the SOP File Display Box comes from SOP, when configuring, it should be noted that the SOP File Display Box and Step List Component are associated. That is, if there is no Step List Component in the page canvas, the SOP File Display Box will not have data either.

4. Statistical Parameter Display Box
![]() | ![]() |
|---|---|
The Statistical Parameter Display Box is used to display business fields of the current process/station, including but not limited to product name, product model, production work order number, etc.
The data is displayed in real-time by configuring bound variables in the business field settings.
5. Production Parameter List
The data of the Production Parameter List comes from Recipe Management. You can configure upper and lower limits, bind values, etc.

6. Material Input Box
The Material Input Box triggers material verification and writes material codes through input/scanning. It generally needs to be used in conjunction with the Production Material List component. It has cursor jump and cursor hold functions, and supports automatic clearing, etc.

7. Production Material List Component

This component supports manual line wrapping and automatic line wrapping.
- Automatic Line Wrapping: After inputting according to the material code rule, pressing Enter triggers material code verification. After successful verification, it will jump to the next line of material input box.
- Reset: Clicking reset will clear the material code for the current line.
8. Production Control
The Production Control component is divided into several types of components, including: Button Component, Read/Write Box Component.
Pay attention to the configuration process and do not miss variables.

Precautions:
Step 1:
Open the Process Management component, right-click to select the list, select Parameter Configuration.


Open the popup window and switch to Field Configuration. Select the field type and control button type according to requirements.
Step 2:

Open Process Management, switch to the Station tab, and configure corresponding variable rules through Parameter Signal Configuration.
Step 3:

Complete the configuration in CMS. Whenever the button is clicked, the default value configured in Process Management will be dispatched.
9. Batch Material Operation

10. Step Monitoring Display Box
![]() | ![]() |
|---|---|
The Step Monitoring Display Box can be configured in SOP Management configuration pages and then displayed in the runtime version. It supports left and right page switching. At the same time, in the development version, you can configure the container size and container content.

11. Process SOP Display Box
![]() | ![]() |
|---|---|
The Process SOP Display Box needs to be configured in SOP Management, supporting the display of images, PDFs, videos, etc.


II. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The following summarizes some common issues:
1. Component Display and Configuration Issues
-
The Manual Dashboard needs to trigger other components (such as SOP Display Box) through the Process Filter to display, and the process type must be a manual process.
-
When configuring the Manual Dashboard, ensure that the Process Filter exists, otherwise the component will not take effect.
-
Abnormal display of some pages under the same configuration (e.g., only one machine displays) may be caused by permission or Socket push issues.
-
There is a difference between SOP file display and Process SOP. The former is step-level, and the latter is process-level.


2. Data Display Abnormalities
-
Indicator data does not update after successful entry, and needs to switch pages and return to display normally; material data disappears after switching pages, and needs to re-trigger entry.
- The problem of indicator data not updating after successful entry has been fixed in 2.6.1, supporting switching different stations and reading variable content in real-time.
- If material data disappears after switching pages, you need to re-trigger entry or check if the work order exists.
-
Open the Manual Dashboard, select the process/station, but there is no data.
- First determine whether the current product code has entered the station. Fill in the product code, press Enter, and click Enter Station.
- If there is data after entering the station, but no data after refreshing the page, check if there is a work order configuration in Work Order Management. Data display follows the logic push below.

-
SOP files are not displayed, and there are no images or files when switching.
- Check Step Management -> Attachments in SOP Management. If data exists, click Preview to see if file preview is normal.
-
SOP Process Preview 404
- Same as above, check SOP Management Step Configuration.
-
The Material Input Box jumps to the Material Parameter List after scanning is completed.
- Known bug, currently fixed in 2.6.1.
- If you don't want to apply the patch, you can use a temporary solution: modify the input control of material parameters, changing automatic line wrap to manual line wrap.

3. Component Function Unresponsive
-
Production Control component button click does not take effect
- Production button click essentially triggers by changing the variable. The default value of the variable is in Process Management -> Right Click -> Parameter Configuration -> Default Value.
- In addition, the input box in Production Control also triggers variable changes through Enter.
-
Process Filter Configured the Process Filter, but the dragged components do not update with the station.
- Method 1: Check Process Filter -> Associate SOP Component -> Open Popup -> Check all associated SOP components.
- Method 2: Upgrade to the new version. The new version has removed the SOP association function, and dragged components complete association automatically.

-
404 Frequent Request Issue
- Front-end component version and back-end version are inconsistent, /hubs/v1/easy-notice.
- Upgrade the front-end patch to the latest version, which has modified the reconnection mechanism.
-
Input product code and press Enter/Click Enter Station with no response
- Check if the Enter Station button is configured with default parameters, and check if the variable for this flow is configured in Process Management.

III. Future Advancement Items
1. SOP Socket Unification
Currently, multiple sockets connecting simultaneously may cause server performance degradation. The specific reason comes from the initial SOP selection function, which previously supported different process filters to trigger different components. Later, considering that a page will only have one dashboard, this function was removed.
Subsequent optimization: Aggregate multiple sockets into one to improve performance and debug efficiency.
2. Add SOP Log Tool
Add data trigger and log recording components to quickly locate problems.
