The 'Jobs List' is where information for released jobs is located. Standard Job, Team Job, Multi Job, Job Setup, and Machine transactions share most of the same functionality regarding the 'Jobs List'. If left open, the 'Job Operations List' will automatically refresh every minute to recalculate time information. The 'Jobs List' can be broken down into three main parts: the Top Menu, Jobs List, and Job Details List.

      Jobs List Jobs List

Top Menu

      Top Menu Top Menu

Jobs Count

The 'Jobs Count' is located at the far left side of the 'Top Menu'. This item displays the total count of jobs available. This count will change based on the filter criteria that have been set.

      Jobs Count Jobs Count

Work Center List

The 'Work Center' drop-down is located in the center of the 'Top Menu'. The 'Work Center' drop-down is a list of all available 'Work Centers'. This information typically comes from the ERP system. When an employee has a default Work Center set in the employee setup, this drop-down selection will default to the employee’s default work center, and the 'Jobs List' and 'Job Details List' will be filtered by all jobs and operations that contain the default work center that has been set.

Work Centers other than what has been set for the employee may be selected from the drop-down or searched in the drop-down. Changing the Work Center will also change the jobs and operations that are available in the view.

The first option in the drop-down is the 'All Work Centers' option. This is the default when an employee does not have a default Work Center set. This option will show all jobs and operations that are available. It is recommended that employees are assigned default Work Centers, as the jobs list has the potential to be very large without a filter.

All Jobs

When viewing the 'Jobs List' when a job is in process, the 'All Jobs' checkbox should be visible. Clicking the 'All Jobs' checkbox will show all released jobs and will highlight the currently running jobs in yellow. After checking the All Jobs checkbox, all jobs will be filtered by the work center of the currently running job. To view all work centers, 'All Work Centers' or a desired work center will need to be selected.

      All Jobs Checkbox Control Points

Control Points

If the Control Points checkbox is visible, then Control Points have been enabled in the Shop Floor Pro Settings. When the Control Points checkbox is checked, then the operations for each job will be filtered to only show operations that are control points that have not been completed. Unchecking Control points will show all operations for a job that have not been completed.

      Control Points Control Points

Search Option

The 'Search Option' is located at the far right of the 'Top Menu'. Typing information into the 'Search Box' will start filtering matched text with every keystroke. This search will look at all fields in the 'Jobs List'. 'Job Operations' are not searched when input is done here.

Jobs List Colors

The 'Jobs List' will display three different colors, depending on the action.

  • Green: A green row indicates that a job has been selected.

  • Yellow: A yellow row indicates that the selected job is currently in process but is not actively selected.

  • No Color: Indicates that a job selection has not been made.

Job Operations List

The 'Job Operations' list displays information related to the operations associated with a job. To view job operations, refer to the Viewing and Hiding Job Operations section of this page. Below is a description of the fields that are displayed for the job operations.

  • Op: This is the operation for the job.

  • Description: This is the work center description.

  • Work Center: This is the work center code.

  • Control Point: This indicates whether or not the operation is a Control Point operation.

  • Status: Please reference the Operation Statuses section of this page.

  • Expected: This is the expected time for the operation. This value typically comes from the ERP system and is calculated by dividing the pieces per hour by the quantity received. A value will only be displayed for this field when the status is 'Running'.

  • Actual: This is the actual time for the operation. This is an accumulative value, meaning that it sums all the transaction times against the operation. If the 'Actual' time is less than or equal to the 'Expected' time, then this value will be displayed in green. Otherwise, the value will display red. This value will only be shown when the status is 'Running'.

  • Received: This is the quantity that has been received against the operation. If the quantity received is 0 and is a non-control point operation, then the user will be presented with a notification asking whether or not to proceed with the action. If Yes is selected, then the previous quantity completed will be used. If there have not been any completions, then the most previous quantity received will be used.

***Note: The behavior for 0 received quantities is the same for control and non-control points. The only difference is that control point operations will not present the user with a notification, as it is assumed that operations occurring between control points will be automatically backflushed.

  • Complete: This is the quantity that has been completed for the operation.

  • Moved: This is the quantity moved for the operation.

  • Scrapped: This is the quantity scrapped against the operation.

  • Menu: Please reference the Job Operations Menu section of this page.
