Place a batch in manual mode

Use manual mode to stop automatic sequencing of a batch. A batch in manual mode allows any lower-level active steps to complete without automatically transitioning to the next step.
For example, to determine which step to execute through changing an active step, place a batch in manual mode. Two things happen when placing a batch level in manual mode:
  • Any higher-level recipes that contain the batch level you put into manual mode, also go into manual mode.
  • Any lower-level steps contained by the batch level in manual mode go into O-AUTO mode.
