Enhanced Timer Registration Posting Permissions for Maintenance Employees
This functionality introduces a control mechanism within the Maintenance Employees table, specifically aimed at managing who can approve and post time entries. The primary components of this functionality are:
Time Entry Approver Role:
A boolean field labeled "Time Entry Approver" has been added to the Maintenance Employees table. When this field is enabled, the designated user gains the authority to approve and post time entries registered, including those recorded by other users. This role is crucial for maintaining oversight and ensuring that only authorized personnel can finalize and post time entries (registered with timer) on Work Orders.
Light User Restrictions:
Light Users are limited in their interaction with the timer. They can only register time, meaning they can start and pause the timer, but they do not have the ability to post time entries. The interface for these users will only display the pause button, effectively preventing them from stopping and posting the consumption directly from the timer.
Posting Authority:
Users designated as Time Entry Approvers have the exclusive ability to post time readings, including those made by other users. This feature centralizes the control of time entry postings, ensuring that only authorized personnel can complete this action, thereby enhancing the accuracy and reliability of time tracking and reporting within the system.
