Overview
Racks (typically, manifolds for filling groups of assets at the same time) can be configured in TrackAbout for use during Filling. Racks are configured to relate to
Tanks - determine which Raw Material (Source) tank is associated with each Rack Users - determine which users are allowed to use each rack Product Families - determine which products are allowed to be filled on each rack
Also, each rack needs to be set up with a Maximum Filling Pressure. Fillers need an internal user account set up in TrackAbout before they can be associated with the Filling Racks.
Once you start adding on Filling locations, this list of Racks can get quite long. There is a text filter to help filter through the Rack list.

Rack Filling requires
- Tanks
- Racks
- Asset Families
- Empty / Full Product Codes
- Product Code Generation
- Lot/Batch Number generation
Optional Features Configurations
- Product Code Expiration - configuration to control whether product code expiration dates must be in place
- Filling Business Rules
- Out of test messages - The Custom Info "Test Valid in Years" needs to be set on Asset types. This is checked against the Asset's custom asset info "Last Test Date".
Customizing it for You
- Restricting rack access by user
- Restricting available asset families by rack
- Fill by Method (for example: pressure, volume, quantity)
- Checking pressure versus max pressure of the rack
- Product Code Generation (for use with many full codes to 1 empty code mapping: UseCapacityInProductCodeSelection, EnableSelectionOfProductCodeInContainerFill
- Automatically creating ramp lot numbers
- Secondary Add New
- Allowing NS and tagged assets to be added to a record
- Next Rack functionality (AllowNextRackOnContainerFill)
- Allow viewing of lot number
- Pause a fill (EnableServerSidePausingDuringFill)
- Save & Analyze --> no Analysis action yet, this is just for reference
- If a record has not been synched, prompt the user to save the record before continuing (RequestRecordSyncBeforeStartingInternalAction)
