Scripts can enhance any Standard Time® dashboard. Just write a SQL script to query or compute values, then right-click on a grid header to insert a new column with the script. The script is run for every line in the grid, so display values from scripts are based on data in each line. Pretty nice trick!
Barcode Inventory
Look at this interesting solution for inventory and warehouse management!
It’s not just “where’s my stuff?” It’s “how many are on hand?” and “how many are at each warehouse location?” and a whole bunch of other questions.
And, it’s also tracking employee and work order time along with materials consumed on each job. All with barcodes! Check it out!

What is a project task in Standard Time?
This video should help you understand the purpose and uses for project tasks in Standard Time. Consider using project tasks to schedule employee work, manage projects, and scan barcodes on the shop floor.
Work Order Efficiency
Tracking work order time is the first way to improve them. If you can learn how much time goes into each operation of a job you can use that to eek out small percentages of improvement. Or, in some cases completely alter your processes. Sometimes small “bugs” in operational processes are actually just tips of the iceberg. That’s why work order tracking has value.
Consider this little video an inspiration to try the Standard Time® tracking capabilities. You might find something worth correcting. 🙂
