Operations Information Page
Operations represent the steps that would be executed when producing, maintaining, inspecting or repairing parts. Operations within a process plan are assigned a label that identifies the order in which they must be executed on the shop floor.
The operations information page is a collection point for information related to the operations. The information page for operations is accessed by clicking the information icon .
From the information page, you can perform actions on operations, as well as view the object attributes and any related information.
For an overview of information page functionality, see About Information Pages and Customizing Information Page Tabs .
