Preparations
The
Preparations tab helps ensure all required checks are completed before starting a plan or step. While RigFlow doesn’t automatically prevent users from moving forward without completing these preparations, it will display a warning to confirm whether you're ready to proceed.
Preparations are assigned to specific roles within the operator and drilling contractor organizations, and can be linked to an entire plan or individual steps. These roles are selected from a dropdown list. RigFlow organizes these checks based on their assigned roles, and as a plan author, you can choose to make them active even while the plan is still in draft mode.
