Starting Worksets for workset-enabled employees using the Employee Home Page

Employees who are workset enabled can add multiple jobs to a workset and start the workset. An error is displayed, if a Workset is started before adding all the jobs. Employees who are non workset- enabled, can only start a single job. All Order Types values can be used to start the Workset. A combination of Order Type values can also be used to start the Worksets.

To start a Workset for a workset-enabled employee:

  1. Specify the Badge number on the Workset transaction form. The application validates the Badge number to verify if the employee is workset enabled. The Add Job, Remove Job, Start Workset and Stop Workset options are displayed on the form.
  2. Select the Order Type value for the job that is added to the Workset.
    Note: 
    • If there is only one job, start the Workset after the Workset is added.
    • Select the Workset tab to review the job added to the workset.
  3. Specify the Order Type value for the second job and click Add.
  4. Specify a value in the Machine Ratio field. This is displayed only when the Order Type value is Production Order.
  5. Select the Workset Tab to review the jobs added to the work set.
    Note: 
    • If no Start Time for the job is displayed, then the staus of the Workset is Adding.
    • If the Start Time for the job is displayed, the workset is in the Running status.
  6. Select Start Workset to start the job.
    Note: 
    • All the job in the Workset starts simultaneously.
    • The Real Time Transaction Entry form closes:
      • If the employee uses the (Close icon) to exit the form and the Workset is not started.
      • If the employee uses the Real Time Transaction Entry form to add job to the Worksets with the status set to Running.
    Note: Job can be added to the Worksets with the status set to Running. If the Workset is stopped, no job is added. The start time of the job is the time considered to start the job is added to the workset. Only the time where jobs are overlapping will be used to prorate time.

    The Workset tab displays the status of the Workset. The Workset with the status set to Running displays the job with a start time.
