   1. Thank you!
      Yes. It is described in the part on Job Card Device. https://dynaxtips.com/2016/03/12/ax7-ta-job-card-device/

      You need to assign your user to the device settings. Also you might need the user be connected to an employee.

6. To use Time and Attendance you need to use either Projects or MES jobs, is that a correct statement? Can you use time and attendance to gather all employees time to submit for a paycheck without implementing Payroll module as well?

   1. Kind of… You would still need to clock in and out, but what you do with that data is up to you.

      1. Thanks for the quick reply, Seems when I create a timesheet in the Employee Portal it requires a Project.

7. It will require a job to enter electronic time cards. Running the Time and attendance wizard will create these, but the experience isn’t very good for manual entry. The time stamp experience is preferred.
   Also be aware that there is a time sheet in the Project solution, so if you don’t see “job”, but only “Project” and “Activity” you are on the wrong form.

8. Using limited navigation on job registration terminal. I have tried to set ‘&limitednav=true’ in the end of the url, as you write. But I get an unexpected error.
   Have tried in two different environments.

   1. That is odd… It should work. You would need to have the first URL parameters still present like “[URL]/?cmp=DAT&mi=salestable”…
      Could you write everything that is in the URL after the question mark?

   1. You have to add indirect activities for breaks to be able to use these categories.

      1. My Activity ID is ‘DailyBrk’, Activity is ‘Break’, Job identification is ‘za-000018’, Category is ‘Breaks’, Job type is ‘Break’

10. Hi Fredrik!

    Is there any way to limit which indirect activities that can be seen for a worker when clocking in? F.ex. Workers in Division A use indirect activities 1-5, workers in Division B shall only use indirect activities from 6-10. When clocking in, using Configuration Indirect activities, the workers in division A, shall not se indirect activities 6-10.

    1. No, this is a global setup, but sounds like a good extension or feature request.
