Documentation for ProTrack Warehouse 7.5.
The Daily Inquiry in ProTrack Warehouse is a valuable tool for performing validation of work performed; educating employees on engineered standards, ensuring delays are credited to the proper function, and to check employees for performance issues.
The Daily Inquiry screen helps you to see the current performance of an employee. In addition to providing visibility of an employee's workday, this screen provides several additional features for approving, reshuffling, changing, adding or deleting work from the employee's past or present workday.

The yellow and dark blue bars illustrate the employee's schedules on each day. The yellow bar represents the schedule the employee was assigned to work. The blue bar represents the actual schedules the employee worked. Only days containing actual work schedules will have a blue bar. In the screenshot above, you can see that the employee was assigned to a schedule all 5 days (Saturday through Wednesday), but did not work on Sunday.
