New Features

Mobile Alerting App
  1. ProTrack has gone mobile with alerts. Users can now be notified of new alerts and acknowledge them via the mobile app.
  2. Currently available on iOS phone systems. App can be downloaded from the iTunes store for free.
Time Clock
  1. Time Clock is a new functionality added to ProTrack. When enabled, it will allow true capture of start and end times for an employee’s day as well as the true start and end times of breaks and lunches.
  2. Management will have an option of using the true start/end times or rounding. For rounding time captures, a time frame can be specified and if the employee punches within that time frame, the punch will be rounded to the employee’s assigned scheduled times. If the employee punches outside of that time frame, then the true start/end times of the punch will be captured.

Updates to Existing Functionality

Alerting
  1. Alerting can be used to automatically create Active Performance Management observation assignments notifying supervisors of any low performers which may require one-on-one coaching sessions.
  2. Mobile app can be used to inform subscribers of various activities within their facility as well as acknowledge alerts.
Assignments Inquiry
  1. Updated the screen to display more detailed information pertaining to the searched assignment.

Incentive
  1. Previously, an incentive plan was created that took into account all standard direct activities in an employee’s day and applied a payout scale based on the performance. Now the incentive engine has been enhanced to allow multiple incentive plans to be created looking at individual or numerous activities and applying a payout scale to each plan.
  2. Incentive plans can be created using Home vs Non-Home activities. This option can provide varying payout scales if the standard activity has been configured as a Home Activity for the employee.
  3. Added a new functionality where the last 4 review periods of an incentive plan can be reprocessed through the UI.
Kiosk Sign In/Out
  1. Added a feature to the kiosk which will allow employees to punch in for the day if there is no work schedule created yet. Must be enabled on the Configuration > Facility screen to be effective.
  2. Management will have an option of using the true start/end times or rounding, just like the Time Clock feature (refer to part b under New Features).
KVI Entry
  1. Updated the KVI Entry screen for a better work flow when creating a new assignment.
  2. Multiple task lines can now be entered at once through the popup screen instead of one by one (mimicking the kiosk KVI entry).
  3. Opening up an existing assignment will change the Create Task button to Show Tasks.
Monitor
  1. Updated the search capabilities of the screens under the Monitor menu for ease of use.
  2. Added a Refresh button that will resend the search filters and refresh the listed results.

Control Screen
  1. This new feature, Control Screen, provides the management team visibility to assign work and maintain employees in a central location. Work order(s) can be created for each kiosk machine on the Control Screen. Employee(s) can be selected and dragged to each work order and either the standard direct and/or indirect activity will be automatically started. Delays can also be added to each employee using the Control Screen. As employee(s) are moved from one work order to another, it will automatically end the activity the employee was working and begin the new activity. Once the activity has been completed and the KVI values have been entered, ProTrack will calculate the standard and distribute the times to each employee.
  2. Once completed, the performance % will be displayed along with how many employee(s) were assigned to the standard direct activity of the work order.
Kiosk Config
  1. Kiosk Machines can be created and tied to a line and room number which can be referred to for reporting. These kiosk machines will then be used to log into ProTrack using a terminal out on the floor. Employees will be able to sign in and out of work order(s) tied to that Kiosk Machine if the supervisor is unable to make the changes through the Control Screen.
Missing Time Attedance
  1. Added new screen under the Monitor menu which will list any work schedule that is missing Start of Shift and/or End of Shift time & attendance punches.
Team Config
  1. Team Config is a new functionality that allows grouping of multiple employees into a team. A list of unassigned employees will be displayed from which employee(s) can be selected and dragged to form the Team. Once teams have been configured, they can be assigned to a work order via Control Screen. Employee(s) who are configured to the team will start the activity and the times will be captured automatically.
Work Order Attributes
  1. Attributes can be created, such as Job Number, SKU, etc., which will be applied to work orders. As work orders are created, the user will be prompted to enter values for these attributes as they apply. These attributes can then be used as filters for reporting purposes.
