   Info
   title Info
   If there is any assignment that is currently In-Progress, starting this new assignment will simultaneously end the previous assignment. The end time for that assignment will be recorded as the same time the new assignment is created. Timer next to the employee ID displays the amount of time left before ProTrack will automatically end the session for the employee. The duration of the timer can be configured from the System Configurationscreen. There are two timers that are configurable: KIO_REFRESH_SEC - Timer displayed when the employee first logs into the kiosk. KIO_REFRESH2_SEC - Timer displayed after the employee signed into an assignment through the kiosk. Performance and Utilization can be enabled or disabled from the Employee screen.

   
   If the standard time for the entered assignment has not yet been calculated (due to the assignment being recently imported), ProTrack will calculate the standard time “on-the-fly” and then display this standard time on the screen once it’s calculated. Typically this process only takes a few seconds, but may sometimes take longer. In either case, a “Not Yet Available” message will be displayed to the user; the user may either choose to wait for the time to be displayed, or can simply logoff before this process is completed.
