Informational popup on clock in

We been doing this with an ASP webpage for years, I just have HR update
a date in the URL command line and the code calculates the datediff and
displays it in the shop with nice big letters for all to see, so when
there is an incident, HR just changes the date on the file and the
counts change accordingly. I have several computer screens throughout
the shop that are designed for employee information. I wrote a simple
full screen webbrower application that I can push pages to from another
computer or server and have the page displayed (been a great use for my
older 486 and Pentium 1 pcs). Pages are either created manually or
dynamic from BAMS or other application events and an application on the
Vantage server pushes out the pages to these screens every 30 seconds.
There is even one of these screens at the time clock. And depending
upon which department, will depend on what screens are pushed to that
department's display. So things like who is clocked in and what jobs
they are working on only display in their department.

Subject: [Vantage] Informational popup on clock in




My boss wants to display information about our last accident to all
users in MES when they clock in, so once a day the will see how many
days it has been since our last lost time accident. This wouldn't have
to be stored in Vantage, but in a text file that could be updated by HR
every day. Has anyone ever attempted anything like this?

Sure all the time,

Your best bet is to use a UD Table (UD01) and set something like
Key1='DateOfLastAccident' Date01=the date...
Then on upon logon look up the record and display it

Give HR access to UD01 table mantenance with a slight customization to
allow them to update this value.

So this is base functionality? Or will a little bit of programming need to be done? I can handle the data entry by HR part, but I am unaware at how to look up a record and just display it.
