Worksheet - Process Design Grid

The Process Design Grid is a feature in Albert that allows you to define the process conditions for your formulation directly in the Worksheet. These conditions describe how the product is made and are automatically carried into your Batch Tasks for execution.

Value to you: 

This feature brings both ingredients (what goes into your product) and process (how it is made) into one place. You no longer have to manage conditions separately; they are part of your Worksheet and flow seamlessly into Batch Tasks for execution. This reduces errors, saves time, and ensures your design and execution are always connected.

You can expand or collapse all Parameter Group rows in the Process Design Grid by clicking the caret to the left of the Process Design Grid section header as shown in the image above.

The Process Design Grid supports one type of rows to help you structure process data:

• Parameter Group Rows (PGs): Organize related process conditions under a named group (e.g., “Polymer Prep Parameters”).

1. From the + menu

   • Click the + icon in the Process Design Grid header.

   • Select Add a Parameter Group Row

   • For Parameter Groups, you can link to an existing Parameter Group

2. Inline within the grid

   • Hover over an existing row and click the three dots (…) on the right side.

   • Select Add a Parameter Group.

   • Fill in parameter rows in line with the required values (e.g., Temperature = 25°C, Time = 60 min).

Any parameters you define in the Process Design Grid automatically appear in your Batch Tasks.

• Create a Batch Task using the Worksheet where your PDG is defined.

• The linked Parameter Groups and parameter rows will be visible in the Batch Task.

• Review the parameters alongside your materials.

   

  

Note: Only parameters with values entered in the Worksheet will be carried into Batch Tasks.

You can delete rows from the Process Design Grid if they are no longer needed.

The Process Design Grid should be used for defining processes related to the product or inventory item being created. Conditions against experiments can continue to be used in Property Tasks!
 

• Parameter Groups cannot yet be sequenced between ingredients.

• Support for sequencing process steps is planned for a future update.
