Procedure picker
Dashboard component reference for the Procedure picker, which stages the procedure for a unit's next start.
The Procedure picker is a dropdown of the bound unit's procedures that stages the pick for the unit's next start (see Process). The pick lands in the unit's shared staging area, station-wide: every circuit sees the same prepared run, and a Button firing the unit's start command is what actually starts it. It is part of the Process family: it is not offered in the dashboard's Add palette. A unit's screen hosts it, and a model's screen template carries it with the unit resolved when a unit opens the screen.

Conduct
The dropdown lists the bound unit's procedures with (none) at the head; picking
(none) stages nothing. Staging answers on the component's own line (Staged), and a
staging that could not persist leaves the previous one intact — the picker snaps back to
what is actually staged.
In place of the dropdown the component states why it cannot offer one: (no unit) while
nothing is bound, (no procedures) while the bound unit has none, and (unavailable)
where the Process service is not running.
Permission
Staging is rechecked at the moment of the pick:
- On a unit's Process screen, it takes the Run procedures permission.
- On a dashboard, it takes the Dashboard operation permission and the Run procedures permission.
While the operator may not stage, the dropdown is disabled and its tooltip carries the reason.
