Work Assignments

The Kiosk can be used to work standard assignments from three different sources:

• Pre-download WMS Assignments
• Assignments created in advance via the KVI Entry screen
• Assignments created at the Kiosk

Predownloads are WMS work assignments that are imported into ProTrack Warehouse. Predownloads are different in that the assignments do not have a start date, start time, end date and end time. There is also no Employee Id because no one has performed the assignment yet.

To access the Kiosk screen:

1. Log in to ProTrack Warehouse.
2. Select the Work Assignment tab under the Kiosk menu. The Work Assignment screen appears.

Starting An Assignment

To start an assignment:

1. Enter an assignment into the Assignment ID field.
   
   

   
   ^{Fig.310 Kiosk - Starting Assignment}

   
   
2. Click below the field. The status of the assignment will be set to In-Progress in the 'Assignment Information' section. The Standard Time for the assignment will also be displayed, assuming the Kiosk is configured to show standard time (refer to Work Info).

   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.
   
   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.

Ending An Assignment

An assignment is ended from the 'Perform Assignment' section in the Kiosk screen. An assignment can either be explicitly ended, or indirectly ended by starting a new assignment.

To end an assignment:

1. Click the Assignment ID link in the 'Assignment Information' section of the Kiosk screen. The Assignment ID field will be automatically populated with the in-progress assignment.

   Info

   • The Assignment ID can be manually typed in the Assignment ID field.
   
   
2. Click in the 'Perform Assignment' section of the Kiosk screen.
