Schedule Type

"Schedule Types" are used in ProTrack Warehouse to define how long employee works and when break, lunches and end of the day should be applied in employee's day. ProTrack uses Scheduled Activities to automatically allocate time for these daily activities that are typically not captured or recorded by any other host systems (such as WMS). These scheduled activities may include:

• Start of Shift
• Breaks (1 or more)
• Lunch
• End of Shift

The Schedule Type screen allows creating, viewing, editing, and deleting of schedule types within ProTrack Warehouse. Available operations on this screen will vary depending on the user privileges.

To access the Schedule Type screen:

1. Log in to ProTrack Warehouse.
