Time Usage Activities are a list of secondary activities that are not production metric driven nor tied to specific tablet modules.
These activities will be available for tablet users to choose when filling out their Timelines or Time sheets screens throughout their shift. The types of activities listed here are typically supporting activities like refueling, meetings, rest breaks as well as scheduled and unscheduled delay and downtime activities. Each of these activities can then be assigned to one of the categories in the Time Usage Category section.
Add a Time Usage Activity
To add an entry to the list, click on the
button.
In the popup window for adding/editing the entry
Name: The descriptive user friendly name of the Activity
Object Type, choose either None or Equipment.
None means the Activity choice is available at all times.
Equipment means the Activity choice is only available if Equipment use has been recorded in the tablet use session (i.e. a min of 1 prestart has been done during the tablet user session). This option just helps minimise Activity choices available to tablet users.
Time Usage Category, choose one that applies to the activity from the dropdown list.
Operations, which module do you want this activity to be related to.
Favourite, (TimeLine Reporting feature only) do you want the activity to be visible in the tap selection on tablet.
Always Show, (TimeLine Reporting feature only) do you want the activity always visible in the tap selection on tablet when no module has been used yet.
Priority, how high up the list on the tablet do you want this to appear, otherwise follows alpha numeric sorting.

Assigning Operations
On this deeper properties screen there will be a tab to assign the Activity to one or more Operation(s)/Module(s).
By default this list will be empty. This means that the activity will be available for use in all tablet modules.
If the list has one or more operations, then this activity will only be available for use in those specific tablet modules.
This is a handy function to manage the possible options your personnel will see when completing their time sheets and time lines.
