Mill Operators & Custom-Made Processing — FAQ

Also searched as: machine operators, mill workers, resaw, custom-made, mill tasks, yield, outturn, processing run, performance history.

Where do I manage my mill operators?

Inventory → Operators.

Why can’t I deactivate an operator?

They still have active (in-progress or draft) tasks assigned. Reassign or complete those tasks first, then deactivate.

Can I permanently delete an operator?

No — there’s no hard delete, only Deactivate/Reactivate, so task history is always preserved.

Where do “My Tasks” show up for a mill operator?

There’s no standalone “My Tasks” page. Active processing runs assigned to you appear as a “My Active Mill Tasks” card grid on your Dashboard.

Why didn’t the output tally totals pre-fill?

That only happens when the run’s output was linked to a tally sheet and you returned via the in-app link. A run without that linkage needs output values entered manually.

Is there a separate “Machine” module?

Yes — see Command Center’s Machines tab (/inventory/machines) for adding, importing, and checking the status of equipment. Each Location also has a Machines Installed field listing what’s at that site.
