Digital Factory Manager Enhancements

Tool Tips Provide Visibility into Digital Factory Support Rate Fields

The Digital Factory Manager now provides tool tips for various fields which represent support rates, to describe what is included in that rate.

Example 1: Open a toolshop and hover over the Machining Rate field. A tool tip appears explaining that Machining Rate is the sum of the average total overhead rate (across milling machines) and the average labor rate, assuming an operator of Skill Level 5:

Example 2: Open a Digital Factory and look at the top-level page. Hover over a support rate field, such as Purchasing Support. A tool tip appears explaining what the rate represents, and the related skill level if relevant:

The table below lists the various fields which now provide tooltips:
