Operator Task Allocation [TIL004]

This module allows you to link tasks created in the Task Management module to specific operators. In practical terms, this means you can dictate whether an operator should or should not perform a certain task. For instance, if you have Pickers on the floor, you can prevent them from engaging in tasks such as put-aways that are outside their designated responsibilities.

This is usually required when the task script (under the Trigger Maintenance screen) is not configured to pre-assign a task to a user. The Administrator must first give the user permission to fetch tasks on the HTML5 Task List.

The Task Management module is a task-driven application that generates tasks automatically when configured as specific actions occur in a warehouse. For example, when a Purchase Receipt is done, the system automatically generates a Put Away task to put away the received pallets.

This module allows you to link tasks to specific operators if not pre-assigned in the Task Script.

• Select the applicable Operator from the Operator drop-down on the left-hand side of the screen.

• The data grid will populate with all tasks set up in the Task Master List module.

• Select the check box under the Allow/Deny column. If it is checked, the Operator will be able to Fetch New Tasks from the HTML5 Task List and when unchecked, he will not be allocated to action those tasks.

• You also have the option to set the Priority of the task per Operator, by selecting a Priority option. 1 being the highest priority and 10 being the least.

• Select Save to save the changes for the selected Operator.

SPECIAL FEATURES

• To allow Operators to Fetch tasks with a NEW status that haven’t been assigned, they must first be permitted to Fetch those tasks.
