Required Setup for Technician Time Clock

Set up individual repair Stages as "Tech Time Restricted." If this box is checked, the technician "Assigned To" the Repair Stage will need to start and stop the repair stage from the Technician Time screen.

Payroll tab (or PayHR if you are on Nexsyis Payroll) / Employees. Check the box for "Use Technician Clock for Time". This will allow you to edit the Technician's Time tied to Repair Plan Stages on the Employee Time screen. 

4. Stop Reasons

Setup/ Production/ Stage Stop Reasons. When a technician stops a repair Stage, he will be prompted with a list of reasons to select from.

  Reason Settings:

    -Mark Complete: if a Reason is set to "Mark Complete", it will complete the Stage when the technician clicks Stop and selects this Reason. Example: "Stage Complete"

    -Clock Out: if a Reason is set to "Clock Out", it will clock the technician out of the time clock when the technician clicks Stop and selects this Reason. Example: "Lunch"

If both of these are left unchecked, it will simply clock the technician out of the Stage without marking it as complete and the technician will still be clocked into the timeclock.
