# Station Group

#### **Context:** 

Stations are the core monitored assets (lines, machines, manual operations); station groups organise them for scalable management.

#### **Importance:** 

Station definitions are essential for linking real-time signals, aggregating performance at group/plant scale, and filtering all dashboard and analytics views. Assigning to groups enables line-/area-level insights.

#### Setup:

Create logical groups of stations under Admin > Station Groups. Grouping helps batch similar lines/cells for better scheduling and analysis.

#### ASSIGNMENT

In all cases this will apply to the entire Station Group and there is no way to alter this without removing or adding a station to the group. One Station cannot be in two station groups.&#x20;

#### FEATURE FLAGS

Schedule Station flexibility allows you to hide schedules from other Station Groups if your operation requires this.&#x20;

You can toggle on/off Ad Hoc schedules here. This allows operators with tablets to quick start a schedule from the tablet that has not previously been planned. They will also need to end the schedule when completed, because you cannot enter an end time with this feature.&#x20;
