An interruption is a period of time where the device has worked less than the minimum production value (default is 0) and more than the minimum interruption time (default is 4 minutes). Interruptions are not considered during Scheduled interruptions (e.g. lunch breaks). All interruptions are displayed on the Operator Main Graph if logged in to Shopfloor feedback.

Undefined interruptions are marked with red boxes on the top left of the chart.

• Clicking on an Undefined interruption box a window will open where the reason for the interruption can be entered.
• Entered reasons are saved in a log that can be viewed and where the reason can be modified for correction purposes.
• The main goal for the operator should be to define all the Undefined interruption reasons.

Operators won't be able to change the Scheduled interruptions, only a user with Administrator privileges can edit these as guided How to add, edit, and inactivate interruption?
