Configuring A Time Track User Profile

Select Time Track Utilities > Users. The Users form is displayed.

Select the user profile to configure.

Specify the group authorization information on the Groups tab for each user profile. There are three Time Track user profiles:

Administrator: Infor-System Administrator. This group provides user access to all Mongoose and Factory Track objects so no other group name is required.

Supervisor: FT-Base and FT-Supervisor. FT-Base access is provided to all Factory Track user profiles. This includes all the secondary and hidden objects Factory Track users require to use the application. The FT-Supervisor group includes all the objects a user with supervisor role needs to supervise hours through Time Track. The FT- Supervisor group also includes all the objects console and employee user profiles required to use Time Track.
User: FT-Base and FT-Employee. FT-Base access is provided to all Factory Track user profiles. This includes all the secondary and hidden objects Factory Track users require to use the application. The FT-Employee group includes all the objects an employee-user needs to execute transaction and to review the time in Time Track.

Specify this information in the Factory Track Info tab.

Note: You can view the link between the user and the employee(when applicable) and set the user ability to transaction date and time on realtime entry forms. This text only addresses the parameters required to configure the user for Time Track.

User Type

The type of user to identify the role of the user. The specified type defines the role of the user in Time Track and is responsible for the user’s read, write and delete status on the forms they are authorized to access based on the group authorization. The selection alternatives are:

Administrator: Administrators can access and update all forms. This user type is provided with Work Group Authorization.
Supervisor: Supervisors can view most forms, and can only specify and modify employee times. This is the minimum user type that is allowed with Work Group authorization.
User: Users can only specify transaction information in real time. This user type is provided with console-users and employee-users.

Employee

This field is blank unless a cross-reference to an employee has been established on the Employees form. The employee number is displayed here only if the user profile is configured as an employee-user (or supervisor-user if the user type for the profile is set to Supervisor). If the user profile is not linked to an employee, the shop floor considers the user profile as a console user (aka, generic user).

Employee name

The name of the employee.

Note: This value is defaulted from the employee record when the user profile is established as an employee-user profile.

User Initials

The initials of the user.

Note: This initial is used by the application to identify a user who performs transactions. This is a mandatory field.

User Can Change Clock

Select this check box to allow the user to change the time and date recorded for the transactions they perform.

Note: This parameter allow users to change the time record for transactions, including time and attendance and job start and stop transactions. You must select this parameter only for the administrator or supervisor user profiles.

Specify this information in the Time Track Parms tab to configure date preferences and time display formats in Time Track. Additionally, you can also use this tab to configure local time zone for all Factory Track Users, regardless of whether Time track is implemented or not:

Report Date Filter

The default date preference for the Employee Landing Page, Supervisor Landing Page and Supervisor Timesheet Overview in Time Track. Select Pay Period, Work Week or Report Date.

Display Hours in Decimals:

Select this check box to display hours and minutes as fractions of an hour (H.M/H).

Note:

By default this check box is cleared.
If the check box is cleared Time Track new UX forms display hours in HHMM format.

Time Zone

The local time of the user that is displayed on transaction forms by all factory track integrations and configurations.

Note: When this field is blank, transaction forms defaults the time zone specified on the Sites form. When the user is in a different time zone, specify the user time zone to default the user local time into transaction forms that display the current time.

Click Save to update the record.
