So my new "Clock In" button would be on every computer, but if it was pressed on a specific computer out in the factory it would come up with a warning to go clock in at the main computer (instead of defaulting to the base form)? But you are saying that we would not be able to have a "Clock In" button on only the main computer, right?
We are interested in limiting the functionality of MES screens at different workstations.
For example, we would like our employees to clock in and out of their payroll hours at a centralized location.
However, right now they can do that on the MES' at their workstations.
Can we lock down their ability to clock in/out for the day at their workstations and only allow them to do that at a central computer?
thank you!

You could add to the pre process of clock in and out a check for the pc hostname in abl? Or a different customization on the one computer that includes the clock in out
buttons where the others do not?

Use two different customizations. On the MES "workstations" remove ClockIn/Out button and use that customization. On the "central" computer, customize that MES screen and remove everything else but the functionality to allow them to Clock In/Out. Make the buttons bigger, etc. I have done this very thing before and it's not too painful.

How do you customize MES on a specific computer. In the past, when I have created customizations to an interface (like Order Entry) it has effected every computer in the company. Will a customization to MES only have an impact for the computer on which I perform the customization?
MES customizations are deployed through change in the mfgsys file so if you wanted to only modify one computer then only change 1 mfgsys file in the computer you'd like to modify.

Jose is right but that will only change the main MES screen. If you need to customize something else further down (like clock in), you might do something like below:
Technically what you described is a personalization. It is account specific. However, it has limitations on what it can be used to do (mostly layout changes).
The way you control this is actually through controlling which customization is opened (and this is done by having multiple menu options).
Let’s say you want to have a custom Clock In screen for one computer. You could:
Create the customization.
Hide the current “Clock in†button for all MES stations.
Create a new “Clock In†button and add an on-click event
In the on click event, either call the base form or the customized one depending upon the user.
