Amending a technician setup and hourly labour rate


This is done from Workshop Loading > Resources.  Select the relevant technician and click on the Amend button to edit the technician details.

Update the Hour cost as required and click the OK.




Below is an explanation of the other fields that can be amended.


Hour cost: The technicians hourly cost can be entered to use for cost of sale postings.

PIN: Used if you want each technician to enter a PIN number when clocking on and off jobs.

Cost of sale: Set to Taken

Employee No: Not required, but you can enter a number for reference.

+/- idle codes: Can be used to to limit the idle codes displayed to the technician. +ABC would only show idle codes ABC to the technician. -AC would display all apart from idle codes A and C.

Availability:  This is entered as a percentage and will affect the number of hours that the technician is available during his shift to clock on to WIP's. Most technicians would be set to 100%. Apprentices and workshop foreman can be set to a lower percentage if required. The percentage here will impact on the total capacity hours of the workshop. The technicians hours that make up the workshop capacity will be the Shift Hours times Availability.

Analysis code: used for reporting purposes in reports and aftersales stats for example.

+/- status codes:   Generally left blank, but this can be used to exclude clock statuses from the time clocking terminals. Setting this as -PA, will not display the clock off statuses of Awaiting parts and Awaiting authority. 

Screens to use: This can be used to display the technician on a specific clocking screen. This is normally used when there are multiple clocking screens in the workshop and you don't want the technicians displaying on all screens.

The rest of the the technician is generally set up as displayed above.

Uploading a picture for the technician can be done from the Picture button in the resource screen.

Save the picture you want to upload to the C:\Rev8Work folder on you PC. This will need to be created if it doesn't already exist. 

Try and make the image small in file size and you may also need to crop it to be a small square thumbnail size.
