Configuring a copy station
Prerequisite
- Access to the Configuration > Copy distribution > Copy station (DC046) menu.
Introduction
A copy station is intended to control the distribution of company documents in order to prevent obsolete versions from being used, thus ensuring access to current versions.
Later, the copy stations must be associated with the configured documents for the copy distribution to be successful.
In this article, as an example, the “INT01-Work instruction” copy station will be created to be used in the scenario of the copy distribution of a work instruction document.
