Use instruction-based equipment modules

Equipment modules that derive from a material-based recipe (MBR) phase can be instruction-based or automation-based. When you are working with an instruction-based equipment module, the phase parameters show up as part of the instructions, and phase reports consist of data from the instructions. The MBR generates a prompt, which is formatted into instructions by the
eProcedure
 Server.

Sample of an MBR-generated prompt
TIP: If there is more than one parameter prompt for any given control step, each prompt is displayed in a separate instruction step row.
The MBR function uses a number of parameters and reports. The table below describes how they are used within the
eProcedure
 instruction files:
Name

AMOUNT

If the prompt in question has a pending signature request, the submit button is replaced with the words "Prompt Pending Signature".

You can acknowledge the signature by clicking the
Signatures
 button in the View Selection area to open the Signature List view. Double-click the appropriate signature to display the Signature Request for the prompt. Complete the
Signature
 dialog box, click
Sign
, and then click
Close
