Operator/Machine Mode
When you log in as an Operator or Machine, the application displays:
- The Active Task form (only if active tasks exist for the operator or machine) or
- The Dispatch List form or
- The Direct Entry form if that option has been selected in the Shop Floor Parameters
The Active Tasks form displays the list of all the tasks that the operator or machine is currently working on. The operator can use this form to:
- Stop an active task using the Stop option.
- View the task details by clicking a task. The task details are displayed in the Task Details form which can also be used to issue material, report quantities and inventory and view the associated documents.
The Dispatch List form displays the tasks that are still not initiated by the operator or machine. The tasks will include assignment made by the supervisor (if they are any) and any other standard tasks due to start in the selected work area. The operator can use this form to:
- Start a selected task using the Start option.
- View the task details by clicking a task. The task details are displayed in the Task Details form which can also be used to issue material.
- Access an order, by scanning the order number in the search bar. If the order is not available locally it will be downloaded from CSI.
The Direct Entry form also allows the operator to start the task.
The Operator can toggle between the Active Tasks form, the Dispatch List form and the Direct Entry form using the option.
The operator can also start an indirect task by using the menu option.
If in the machine Mode, the machine can be shut down by selecting the menu option.
