Warehouse Kiosk

Starting an Assignment

There are three different types of standard direct assignments that can be worked using the kiosk.

• Pre-downloaded (aka PRE) – un-worked WMS assignments that contain case, pallet, or quantity counts which were imported via flat file
• OPS – assignments created in advance via the KVI Entry screen
• Manual – assignments created directly from the kiosk

To begin a PRE assignment:

1. Enter or scan the employee ID.
   
   1. If authentication is enabled, a popup window will appear asking for the user's ProTrack password.
2. Enter or scan the barcode of the assignment into the Activity/Assignment field.
3. Navigate the cursor out of the Activity/Assignment field by clicking [Tab] to begin the assignment.
   1. If barcode of the assignment was scanned, the cursor should automatically navigate out of the field.

To begin an OPS assignment:

1. Enter or scan the employee ID.
   1. If authentication is enabled, a popup window will appear asking for the user's ProTrack password.
2. Enter the exact assignment ID that was created from the KVI Entry screen.
3. Navigate the cursor out of the Activity/Assignment field by clicking [Tab] to begin the assignment.

To begin a MANUAL assignment:

1. Enter or scan the employee ID.
   1. If authentication is enabled, a popup window will appear asking for the user's ProTrack password.
2. Click the Standard Activity button and select the desired activity from the drop down list.
   1. If Enter Pre KVI is enabled, then a popup window will appear where the user enters the counts (i.e. cases, pallets) for each field respectively.
   2. Click Save on the popup window and the assignment will begin.

Holding & Resuming an Assignment

The user has the ability to put an assignment on hold through the kiosk if they need to work on another assignment or indirect activity. Then once that assignment or indirect activity has been completed, they can pick up the previous assignment, which is on hold, and complete it.

To put an assignment on-hold:

1. Enter or scan the employee ID.
2. Click the Hold button to the left of the assignment that will be put on-hold.
   
   
   
   

3. The status of the assignment will change from In-Progress to On-Hold. 
   
   
   
   

   • Assignments can be held today and resumed tomorrow.
   • Assignments left in hold status will remain on-hold status forever until the employee ends the assignment.

To resume an assignment:

1. Click the Resume button to the left of the assignment.
2. The status of the assignment will change from On-Hold to In-Progress.

Ending an Assignment

There are two ways an assignment can be ended from the kiosk: ending it directly or starting a new assignment. The majority of the time, the user will end the previous assignment by starting another assignment. Typically, the only time the user will directly end an assignment would be at the end of their work schedule because there will be no more assignments to work.

To directly end an assignment:

1. Click either the End All or End button.
   
   
   
   

   • Clicking the End All button will end all assignments that are in-progress or on-hold.
   • Clicking the End button on the right side of the assignment will end that individual assignment.
   • If the employee accidentally signed into the wrong assignment, they can click the Undo button to reset the assignment back to available status for another employee to work.

Grouping Assignments

The user has the ability to group multiple assignments of the same activity together. By doing so, it will reduce travel to and from the kiosk and let them focus on the task at hand. To use this feature, it needs to be enabled on the Employee screen before the employee logs into the kiosk.

Group assignments are slightly different than a standalone assignment.

• ProTrack will automatically generate a new assignment ID which will begin with the letters "GRP" followed by numbers to make the group assignment unique. This is the assignment ID the user will see on the kiosk once the group assignment has been started.
• ProTrack will sort the selected assignments in alphabetical order based on the locations provided in each task line. Travel will then be calculated based on this sorting order.

To group assignments together:

1. Enter or scan the employee ID. 
2. Click the Group button and a popup window appears.
   
   
   
   
3. Enter or scan an assignment and click the Add button.

4. Repeat step 3 until all assignments have been added.
   
   
   
   

   • To remove an assignment from the group, click the trash bin icon to the right of the assignment.

   
   
   

5. Click the Start button and the group assignment will begin.
