Configuring an Employee for Kiosk Access

You can establish a cross-reference between an employee and a user on the Employees form. That employee can then log into Factory Track and perform transactions based on the user type of their cross-referenced user. A cross-reference is not required, however, if an employee has been associated with a user.

To establish a cross-reference:

  1. Open the Employees form.
  2. Select the employee for whom kiosk access will be given.
  3. In the User Name field, select the user that will be cross-referenced to the selected employee.
  4. Specify this information:
    Edit Labor
    If this check box is selected, user can edit the labor records or insert the gap records. The user must be assigned the required edit privileges in the Employee form.
    Edit Absences
    If this check box is selected, the employee can change the status of an absence request from Requested to Denied. Based on the status update the request is cancelled.
    Note: 
    • If the status is set to Approved, the employee cannot modify the status to Denied.
    • Employees cannot edit or delete attendance transactions.
  5. In the Default Resource Group field, select the resource group.
  6. In the Default Resourcefield, select the resource.
    Note: If the user selects a resource that is not included in the default resource group, the warning message "Resource is not part of the default resource group" is displayed. The linking of resource groups and resources is established in Syteline. The list of resource groups and resources is defaulted from Syteline.
  7. Save the employee record.
  8. Open the User Extensions form.
  9. Select the user that you specified in step 3.
  10. Confirm that the employee ID and name now displayed in the Employee field.
