Operational Status

Indicates whether the operating procedure is enabled (meaning it is available to be executed):

Enabled: the operating procedure is currently active, and the Disable command is available.
Disabled: the operating procedure is currently inactive, and the Enable command is available.

Disable: Disabling an operating procedure prevents it from being executed by any operators or stations, while still retaining the operating procedure within the system. For example, you might do this for operating procedures that are not yet complete or ready to be put into general use.
Enable: Enabling an operating procedure makes it available to be executed by all authorized users of the system or by Desigo CC itself. If an operating procedure is disabled, you must enable it before you can execute it. Newly-created operating procedures are enabled by default.

Operating procedures can be enabled/disabled from here or from the operating procedures list.

The priority of the procedures can be modified from the operating procedures list (see Main Operating Procedures Folder Workspace) or the operating procedure workspace (see General Settings of an Operating Procedure
