What's New in PTW 7.6

This page describes all the new functionality available in ProTrack Warehouse 7.6.  For a complete list of all modifications and bug fixes, see the PTW 7.6 Release Notes.

Updates To Existing Functionality

1. Kiosk Speed Increase
2. Grouping and Filtering by Home / Non-Home Activities

Kiosk Speed Increase

The Kiosk has undergone significant architectural "under-the-hood" changes resulting in a substantial speed increase. All methods (starting an assignment, ending an assignment, grouping assignments, placing an assignment on-hold, and resuming an assignment) have been addressed. Creation of an assignment (either via the KVI Entry screen or Kiosk) has not been enhanced in this release.

The numbering sequence to child assignments (in Split, "Team" assignments) has been updated such that the first employee to sign into an assignment gets the "-1" extension to their Assignment ID, and the second employee gets the "-2" extension. Previously, the first employee would get "-2" and the second would get "-1", which was counter-intuitive. This functionality now matches the Child Assignment Import Assignment ID sequencing that was introduced in version 7.5.

Ad-Hoc Reporting

Ad-Hoc Reporting now supports grouping and filtering by Home Activities / Non-Home Activities. Employees will have to be assigned to Home Activities through the Employee screen before an ad-hoc report can be created using this new filter. Along with adding the new grouping and filtering option, the Ad-Hoc Reporting engine has been modified to provide faster, more responsive report.
