Unit selection via conditions for a flat recipe

To improve efficiency of selecting suitable units, you can define conditions on the unit. When
selecting units, all units that satisfy these conditions (union set) will then be available. It is thus
possible, for example for process cell extensions after an update of the process cell in the
Batch Control Center, to also include additional units in the batch process (for batches that
have not yet been released).
Requirement
To be able to enter the conditions for the unit, the "Condition" option in the properties of the
recipe procedure must be activated for the unit in the "Allocation" tab.
Use the option "Unit selection through conditions" in the system settings in the Batch Control
Center to activate this option as default for all new recipes.
Possible specifications of conditions
The conditions can be created on the same recipe levels where they can be assigned to units.
When a library structure is included in a master recipe, it brings its conditions with it.
Procedure at the recipe unit procedure level

2. With a flat recipe: select the recipe step.

8. Click the "Next" button.

9. In the middle field select the operator that specifies the logic operation condition of the two
operands and therefore defines the condition.
10.Click the "Next" button.
Result: The "Operand 2" dialog box opens.
11.From the list, select the value of the unit attribute needed to meet the required condition.
Some values may have to be edited in a subsequent dialog. Use the context-sensitive help
