Project Assistant For Mfg Work Orders
Prepping work orders for barcode scanning in Standard Time® may include the use of a “Project Assistant.” This video describes creating jobs using this assistant.
Once you get into production in earnest, you probably won’t need the Project Assistant. Instead, you can right-click on an existing project and choose Duplicate.

Prepping a New Manufacturing Job
Follow these steps to prep a new job for the shop floor. Once prepped, employees can scan the job name and tasks. A timer will start. They can scan again to stop that timer. Now you’ve got timestamped records of all employee working on jobs.

scroll down for a little inspiration video
And then read this:
Set up a $70 scanning tablet where employees can scan jobs. Tell them to start by scanning their name. Then scan a job number. A timer starts, and the employee is free to walk off and start the work. When they finish, they return to the scanning station, scan their name again, and then the word STOP. That’s it!
Now you’ve got timestamped records of job status. Wow, that was easy!
