    Configuring Lines

    On the facility page, you can group machines together into a line and organize their order by linking them together.

    Add machines to the canvas using the asset picker in the top left. The platform does not require you to use every machine. Link these machines by clicking and dragging from the output port of one machine to the input port of another machine.

    To create a line, select machines (tip: press Shift to select multiple), and then click the Create a Line action in the top left. You can also click Create a Line, and then select which machines to include.

    To remove machines from a line, right-click the machine or edit the line. 

    You can also remove machines or delete an entire line, including all of its machines. Machines that you remove from the canvas are still available in the asset picker.


    Ordering the Assets

    You can arrange the order that is used to display machines across the platform. This order is used in locations such as the asset picker in Factory Analyze (when the Line model is used) and the machine cards in the Facility graphical view.
