Info

Shift Logbook is part of Labor Management, which is a Critical Manufacturing optional module.

Overview#

A Shift Logbook is a mechanism to capture and pass-down shift relevant information. A Shift Logbook is organized by Area and, if configured for the Area, a Shift Logbook is created automatically for every Shift. A Shift Logbook consists of multiple entries. After the Shift is over, the supervisor of the next Shift is expected to sign-off the previous Shift Logbook. After the Shift Logbook is signed-off, it is terminated in the system.

Shift Logbooks, apart from appearing in Business Data, appear in Manufacturing under the respective Area within the fabExplorer. There are several configuration options that determine how the Shift Logbooks are presented in fabExplorer:

  • /Cmf/System/Configuration/ShiftLogbook/DisplaySortingOrder - can be Ascending or Descending, it determines the Shift Logbooks sorting order in fabExplorer
  • /Cmf/System/Configuration/ShiftLogbook/MaxLogbookEntrySize - defines the maximum size of each shift logbook entry size, in megabytes.
  • /Cmf/System/Configuration/ShiftLogbook/NumberOfShiftLogbooksToDisplay - a number that defines the last number of Shift Logbooks to be shown
