New expert filter property: Sub-elements completed

productionAssist Feedback now offers additional options for users working with hierarchical structures in their production processes.

Until now, parent elements were automatically set to Completed as soon as all direct child elements had been completed. This behavior remains the default to ensure that existing workflows continue to work as before.

For users who require a different process, the automatic completion of parent elements can now be disabled at Workstation level. In addition, a new Expert Filter property "Sub-elements completed" makes it possible to identify parent elements for which all direct child elements have already been completed.

This provides more flexibility when controlling the flow of parent and child elements through production. For example, a parent element can remain open after all child elements are completed until an additional quality check has been performed. At the same time, Workstations can be configured to display parent elements only when all required child elements are finished, helping employees focus on tasks that are ready for the next production step.

**Important note**

The evaluation considers direct child elements only. Nested child elements on lower hierarchy levels are not evaluated directly.

productionAssist Feedback is an application for reporting production activities and manufacturing progress. It enables the recording and tracking of the processing status of orders, customer order items (positions), assembly units, and parts.

A workstation is a station within a production process where specific manufacturing, processing, assembly, or feedback activities are performed.
