Page History

Standards define the standard time assigned for a task. Each element of an assignment can earn time, and each line has standards applied to it based the individual determinant values and conditions.

Accessing the Standards Screen
The options in the Standards screen are available depending on the user privileges.

To access the Standards screen:

1. Log in to ProTrack Warehouse.

2. Select Standard under the Standards menu. The Standard screen appears.

Adding New Standards

To add a new standard:

1. Type a unique Standard Name. The Standard ID is generated automatically.
2. If you want to Calculate Horizontal Travel, click ‘Yes’. If not click ‘No’.
3. If you want to calculate vertical travel, click ‘Yes’. If not click ‘No’.
4. To calculate re-trip standard time, select the Re-trip check box and type the Re-trip Standard Time.
5. Select the default equipment type from the Default Equipment list and entry capacity units by selecting the check boxes, Lines, Units, Weight, or Volume.
6. Type Description.

7. To assign determinants to the standard, click the 'Assign Determinant' tab and the Standards screen appears with the Standard Name field and a blank ‘Determinant’ list.

12. To assign static fatigue factors, click Assign Fatigue Hour to All and type the percentage of fatigue in Fatigue Hour All field.

13. To assign progressive fatigue factors, click Assign Individual Fatigue Hour and type the percentage of fatigue factors in Fatigue Hour Factors fields.
     

    Info
    title Info
    If 'Assign Fatigue Hour to All' is assigned then 'Assign Individual Fatigue Hour' will be unavailable to add and vice-versa.

14. Click  to save the standard with the determinant and fatigue details.

Searching Standards

To search for particular Standards:

1. Click  in the Standards screen and the Search Standard screen appears.

2. Type either Standard Name or select the standard type from the Standard Type list.
    

   Tip
   title Tips
   To list Standards with names starting with a particular character, enter the character into the field. For example, to search standards starting with the character 'C', enter 'C' in the Standard Name to list standards with names starting with C. If no search criteria are specified all the standards will be listed in the 'Standards Search Results' section.

3. Click  in the Search Standard screen and the records for the selected criteria are listed in the ‘Standards Search Results’ section.

Viewing & Editing Standards

To view and edit the standards:

1. Search and list the standards you want to view or edit in the ‘Standards Search Results’ section.
2. Click the selected standard ID link from the ‘Standard Search Results’ section. The details of the standard appear in the corresponding fields in the Standards screen.
3. Change the required fields.

4. Click  to save the changes.

   Tip
   title Tips
   If you have made the changes in the fields and do not want to save the details, click before you save the changes. If you want to delete assigned determinant, click on the corresponding check box and click . If you want to add a standard, click to clear the fields and to bring the screen to add mode. These changes will only be applied to assignments worked after the changes have been made, unless on the Daily Inquiry screen is invoked.
