Tasks & Workflows¶
Concept — step-by-step workflows across several program areas
The pages in this chapter guide you through complete workflows — from the first click to the finished result. Each workflow refers to the matching reference pages, where every field and button is explained in detail. If you want to look up a single field, go straight to the chapters under "Functions"; if you want to know in which order to proceed, you are in the right place here.
-
From customer order to machine sheet
Create a customer, fill in a braiding order, use calculations, print and keep an eye on the machine in the Machine Fleet — the core workflow of Herzog CAB.
-
Create and print a design
From the empty Designer through braid type, colors and track animation to the saved and printed design.
-
Plan bobbins for a braiding order
Check the bobbin winding machine master data, derive a winding order from the braiding order, calculate target values and print the winding order.
-
Build a production hall
Draw the floor plan, create an assignment, place machines and check the result in the 3D shop floor view.
-
Calculate material correctly
The typical calculation chain: from the material master data via fineness and material diameter to product length and product weight.
-
Create a print template
Create your own print template, place elements and placeholders and use the template in an order.
-
Set up users and roles
Invite colleagues to the customer account, define roles, assign workspaces — or, for dongle installations, create local users or import them via Microsoft Entra ID / LDAP.
-
Set up another computer
Move the data to the network drive if necessary, then install the new computer, sign in and connect it to the company folder.
-
Bring data from the desktop app into the web app
Transfer the desktop app workspace to the web app — continuously via cloud upload or once via ZIP — and decide which side leads afterwards.
How the workflows are structured
Each page starts with the Prerequisites and a flow diagram, followed by the numbered steps. At the end you will find how to recognize success — and where to turn if something does not work.
