Machinist
Find each machine module's screens and the machines, operators, schedule and costs that span them.
Updated 23 September 2026
- Why
- A machine shop needs its machines, people, schedule and job costs in one place.
- What
- The Machinist area holds each machine module's screens, plus machines, operators, schedule and costs across them.
- How
- Each machine module brings its own screens; machines, operators, schedule and costs span every one of them.
Find it at /app/machinist: a full screen workbench under Operations. Brought by Machinist.
