Office MES Brainstorming

Anyone have any thoughts or ideas to achieve the following?

We have started having salary engineers clock in & out through Office MES, but since it’s new, they have a tendency to forget if they are currently logged in and to log out at the end of the day.

I was hoping to add a ‘Status Indicator’ (Clocked In or Clocked Out) to their home page. My thought was maybe using a dashboard, but I’m not sure if that is the best option. What I want is a tile that is green and says, “Clocked In” or red and says, “Clocked Out.”

Thoughts?

I don’t know about changing the tile color dynamically, but you could create a BAQ that has that information and then add a BAQ Widget tile on their home screen.

Norman, so you expect that they’ll be looking at the E10 screen outside of MES?

If so, your idea seems pretty plausible. Using an embedded dash you could easily have a visual indicator based on that state.

Another option may be to catch MES when it’s closing and alert if someone is still logged in upon exit.

A final option might be an external solution - maybe a simple app to log into Epicor, get a list of currently logged users and export to an HTML or the likes.
