Description:

In the Production Floor Execution (PFE) interface, the resource context for machine downtime registration is established at device configuration / worker sign-in and cannot be changed during the session. When a worker uses the standard Filter functionality on the All jobs tab to switch to a different reporting resource, the My machine tab and downtime registration remain bound to the originally configured resource set. Microsoft Support has confirmed this is by design (SR 2605140040006141).

Proposed enhancement:

Allow the My machine tab — and specifically the machine downtime registration action — to honor the resource currently in scope via the All jobs Filter, so that a single signed-in worker can report downtime against any resource they have switched to without signing out, signing back in, or reconfiguring the device.

Business value:

In real-world shop floor environments, a single operator often oversees multiple machines/resources during a shift. Requiring a sign-out / sign-in (or device reconfiguration) every time the operator needs to log downtime on a different machine adds friction, slows down accurate downtime capture, and discourages timely reporting — which in turn degrades the quality of OEE and downtime-reason analytics that depend on this data. Honoring the existing Filter selection would align downtime reporting with how operators already navigate jobs across resources in PFE.

Suggested behavior:

- When a worker changes the resource scope on the All jobs tab via Filter, the My machine tab refreshes to reflect the newly filtered resource(s).

- Downtime registration posts against the asset(s) tied to the currently filtered resource, not the sign-in resource.

- Optional: a setting at the PFE device configuration level to opt in/out of this dynamic behavior, preserving the current design for customers who rely on it.
