Terminals

Terminals are the stripped-down, full-screen kiosks the shop floor uses instead of the full app. Each is built for one job done fast and repeatedly, often on a shared or wall-mounted screen, so the people doing physical work do not navigate the whole product.

There are three:

• Operator terminal is where a machine operator reports work: starting and finishing operations on the jobs running at their resource, and recording quantities and issues as they go.
• Time clock is where employees clock in and out. Those punches become the time records reviewed in Workforce.
• Warehouse terminal is the floor view for receiving, picking, and putaway, so warehouse staff can do warehouse work hands-free of the desktop UI.

How terminals fit in

Each terminal is a focused window that feeds the same records the rest of Workcell uses:

A terminal does not hold its own data. It is a focused window onto the same records the rest of Workcell uses, so what an operator reports on the floor shows up immediately in Production and Inventory.

The how-tos

1. Use the operator terminal to clock on at a station and start and end work against operations. See Use the operator terminal.
2. Use the time clock to punch in and out at a shared kiosk. See Use the time clock.
3. Use the warehouse terminal to receive, pick, transfer, count, and ship. See Use the warehouse terminal.

Setting terminals up on shared kiosk hardware is an admin task; the details are in the in-app help center for signed-in customers.
