Starting and logging in

When you start Shop Floor Control (SFC), the start screen will appear. The title bar on the left shows your current location:

Title bar on home page

To the right of this title bar, you can see the login path you will follow to start working with SFC. This path is called the wizard bar:

Steps bar on home page

The darkest section is your current step.

The Isah logo in the upper left corner of the screen is also the Home button of the application. Click it to return to this start screen, or to return to your personal start screen once you have logged in.

From this form you can follow the path to log in, or retrieve the settings by clicking the Settings icon. You can change these settings only if you have the appropriate rights.

Logging in

To log in, first choose a department on the start screen. Once you have chosen a department, SFC will list all employees logged in to SFC for this department. Icons may be displayed next to employees:

Present

The employee is present.

Absent

The employee is absent and not scheduled.

Select your name from the list. You now have two options, depending on the way in which SFC has been configured for your organization:

  1. The system settings allow direct access: Once you have entered your name, you are logged in immediately and you will be taken to your personal start screen.
  2. The organization's system settings require you to log in: The login screen appears.

    Enter your four-digit login code on the login screen. If you do not have a code, you are prompted to enter a code. After confirmation of this code, you are logged in to the system, and you are taken to your start screen. You need to enter the same code the next time you log in.

    To change your login code, log in, click Settings to access the settings, and click the User tab.

Presence

If your organization registers employees' presence in SFC, SFC will regard you as 'Present' from the moment you log in for the first time when you arrive at work. You will not be logged out until you choose Exit on the toolbar:

Exit

If you leave the terminal in the meantime, for example after you have registered a new operation, click Log out to close your screen without stopping your presence time. Other employees can now use the terminal to record their operations.

Terminals for attendance and absence registration

Note: It is possible that the terminal you log in to, is configured to register presence and absence only. If so, no operations will be displayed after you have logged in, and it is not possible to specify activities. If you arrive late or leave early, you can specify a reason, however.
