Operators
This is the list of people for whom time can be allocated to a work order. It is separate from a user login. So one user login can be used to manage the time bookings of many different operators, for instance if there is one screen in a work cell.
To collect work (labour) costs to a work order, first create a work item in the Warehouse section - Items tab. This is the item that sets the value of one kind of work and is always for one time period. The time period is set in system settings and is typically one minute. Some companies use alternatively one hour, but the choice is yours. It is important that the cost of labour for that time period is correct. Do not create work items with a person's name, but rather the skill type, e.g. "welding", "painting" and use different items only if the cost between different people is significant. As necessary create overtime records with different costs e.g. "Welding - Overtime 1".
When creating an operator, then allocate the work item that will be used by this person to set his cost for any time that is booked to work orders. The overtime item is used after 8 hours have been booked in a day. The overtime 2 item is used for after 12 hours in a day. Saturday and Sunday rates can also be set.
The ID field is used to enter a numerical id (often from an employment system) that can be used to indentify this person using barcode on the work cell screen.
The login and work cell settings are currently for information only.
The PIN code is used the clocking in and clocking out if the time clock extension is in use.
