Configuring external labor hour registration
You can activate the registration of labor hours for external co-workers. These people are not, nor will be, registered in the Planon database. Their hours are registered as labor hours, but their name is only 'captured' in the back-office (ProCenter Web Client), in the External co-worker field on the Labor hours record of the order.
Procedure to activate / de-activate the registration of external labor hours
1. In Live app > PMFS (Live app) > Work assignments, select the relevant sub web definition.
2. At the bottom panel, select the Add labor hours details block.
3. In the Add fields data section, select the Internal tradesperson reference field.
4. At Field properties, go to the Selector field and open the Select a value pop-up.
The Selector dialog opens.
5. At the bottom panel of the elements list, select Search list page.
6. On the data panel, select the Actions tab.
7. Select External co-workers time registration.
8. At Action properties, set the Is visible field to Yes.
Yes is the default value. Select No to de-activate the setting.
If you select Yes, an External co-worker button is added to the PMFS Live app . App users who select the Add labor hours details page and select the Tradesperson field will see the button at the bottom of their screen. They are expected to search the relevant name in the Tradesperson list first, before they add the name of the external co-worker via the External co-worker button.
