Information about employees involved in production operations is recorded on the window accessed by clicking on "New" button located at the bottom of the employees list. The information recorded on the Employee window and relative functions are as follows:
Code: The record code of the employee. Code information is the most basic information allowing the employee records to be used rapidly and accurately in operations such as searching, sorting, and selection, grouping and reporting. Therefore, the code field is mandatory.
In the LOGO application, the analyses planned for the employees must be carefully considered when specifying the codes due to the usage characteristics of the code field. An information infrastructure allowing multi-dimensional analyses can be established if each character or character group of the code contains classification information.
Description: The name or the description of the employee. Although the employee description field is an important field, it is not mandatory.
Since search and sorting operations can be made by description in the LOGO application, the employee records are also sorted by description.
Aux. Code: The aux. code of the employee. The string is 10 characters long. Alphanumeric characters can be used for coding. The code allows the user to classify the employees by company specific criteria.
Authorization Code: The authorization code of the employee. Up to 10 alphanumeric characters can be used for coding. Each user may be authorized to access different records depending on job definitions. Used to define detailed authorizations.
Status: Indicates the usage status of the employee record. The status field has two options: Active and Passive. Definitions selected as passive on this field are not displayed on the employee list accessed through operation definitions. Therefore, employees with passive status cannot be used in operations.
Plant: This field is used to specify the company plant in which the employee is working. The plant definitions are listed and the appropriate definition is selected.
Plant Department: This field is used to specify the department of the employee within the plant.
Shift Group: The employee group of the employee is selected on this field. In this way, shift information of the employee group is also applied to the selected employee.
