Setting an operator's equipment

Use this to say which machine an operator drives, or that the operator walks. The machine decides how heavy a task the operator is offered, and which picking policy a work area uses for cart picking.

Before you start

• You need the role ADMIN or MANAGER. The method update_operator is for these two roles by default. See Who can do what.
• The equipment profile must exist. Profiles are set up on the work area and equipment screens, not here.

Steps

1. Open Task Manager > Operators.
2. Click the operator. The Operator card opens.
3. In Equipment Profile click the picker and choose a profile. To make the operator walk, use Clear value in the picker.
4. Click Save.

What happens

The operator row is updated. Only Equipment Profile is sent. Login, name and active cannot be changed here.

Result	What follows
A profile with max_weight above 0	A task heavier than max_weight minus weight_reduction_per_level times the level of its location is not offered to the operator.
A profile with max_weight 0, or no profile	No lifting limit.

A task with no known weight passes any limit. Source: TaskBmc::LIFTABLE_SQL in crates/libs/wms-lib-core/src/model/tasks/task.rs, crates/libs/wms-lib-core/src/model/equipment_profile.rs:55-90.

The value can be replaced later when the operator names a machine on the RF terminal. See Operator card.

If it is refused

You see	Why
A refusal that names the profile (restrict key)	The profile does not exist or cannot be used.
Forbidden for the method	Your role has no right to update_operator.

Not confirmed by code: the exact text of both refusals. To verify: try to save as SUPERVISOR on a test warehouse. The profile is protected by a RESTRICT key (comment in claim.rs:180).
