10.11 Unapplied Time

*Unapplied Time now gives you the ability to track when a Tech is cleaning the shop, going to training, covering the shuttle, making part deliveries, etc. This is important for a Dealership to track and allocate for payroll.

Unapplied Time can be enabled through the Dispatch Control File.
*System > Maintenance > Fixed Ops Control File >Fixed Ops Dispatch > Allow Unapplied Time "Yes"

There are two areas to generate Unapplied Time Punches if permissions are granted - Tech Login and Job Manager. In User Maintenance flag the permission to Run Unapplied Time.
*System > Maintenance > Users > Select User > Fixed Operations Tab > Run Unapplied Time
