This was a small issue in OEM but its a bigger in BSB, if it doesnt crash, then it just doesnt process my reports, i might get 1 out of my chosen 6 or so, if i'm lucky. I found that the move to BSB broke something and it was looking for referenced reports

Process New Cabinets in Existing Work Order
Is there a way to process a new batch of cabinets in an existing Work Order? Right now, every time I run a new batch of cabinets, I have to create a new Work Order. We process cabinets for each room and every project has several rooms. This makes the Work Order folder grow very fast with so many folders. If I could add new batches of cabinets to an existing Work Order, I could keep all the batches from a project together in a single Work Order. This would reduce the amount of folders in the Work

Processing Time for Ardis files
Has anyone noticed a dramatic increase in processing time when processing parts to Ardis recently? We are thinking it has to do with going to Windows 11 and possibly to OEM 2024 and 2025 which we migrated to from OEM 2022 at the beginning of the year.
