Track Operator Time

The Time Log tracks actual operator time against a specific operation — useful both for labor costing and for sharpening the OEE Performance figure.

Clock time against an operation

1. Open Manufacturing → Work Orders → [a work order] → Details. The Time Log card loads automatically, listing the order's operations.
2. Clock In — pick an operation, and optionally an operator and workstation. A running timer starts.
3. Pause for breaks or waiting time so it doesn't count against efficiency, then Resume to continue the same log.
4. Clock Out to end the log — actual minutes are the clocked time minus any paused time.

Once logs exist, the card also shows an efficiency figure per operation — standard minutes against actual minutes.

:::info You don't need to remember to clock out Complete on the work order automatically clocks out any Time Log entry still running for it. :::
