Shop warnings "are intended to keep supervisors informed of a job's status
or an employee's performance." This quote is from the Vantage help screen
concerning setup of shop warnings. The intent is good, but the
functionality leaves a lot to be desired.
1. Why "Report in Labor Entry" if there is nothing generated?
2. The message box for each error does pop up but intermittently I get a
progress 2910 error - FRAME used in WAIT-FOR statement is not VISIBLE.
WAIT-FOR terminated. (2910).
3. I have no way to choose who is to get the email when I choose to send an
alert. They only way I get to choose is after an alert error is generated,
then I have email interface. Once I do pick the email recipient, it still
generates an error that "a mail recipient is not in the address list", but
only when I choose a recipient other than the original.
This would be a GREAT tool with a little clean-up. It has been suggested so
through the WNY/PA users' group and I was hoping for something in Cairo, but
. . .

Terry,
Shop Warnings do not require an email application be running. They generate
a little pop up on the screen in a little message box as you are putting the
time in. You CAN set them up to send an email to someone as well, and in
that case you would need email running, but you do not have to do that part
of it. We do not use shop warnings, but I learned how they work in a
training class. To get them running you have to do two things. First, go
into company configuration, Module configuration, Data Collection. Make
sure 'Use Shop Warnings' is checked. Next, go into Job Management, master
file maintenance, and open the Shop Warnings table. you will see a list of
warnings. double click the one you want to make active. Check off where
you want the error to be reported (i.e. Data collection, Labor Entry, and/or
Shop Tracker).
I just tried this in the test database and it worked (the little message box
popped up) in data collection, but it did not work in Labor Entry. I don't
know why.
