Create New Labor Record

There are two types of labor records maintained: those who require access to the system and those who do not. Labor records for those who use Maintenance Connection (using standard login credentials) are integrated into the Labor module during the registration process. This process provides administrators with an option to automatically create a new labor record for the member.

Labor records for those who do not have access to Maintenance Connection reside only in the Labor module. This type of labor record must be manually added to the system.

Manually add a labor record:

1. Choose between two options:

   • Click the down arrow next to the New button.

   • Select File > New > Select from the Main Menu.

     The Module menu opens.

2. Select Labor from the menu.

   The Labor Details page opens.

3. Enter an ID for the new labor record in the Labor ID field.

   Labor records, crafts, requesters, and contacts are all maintained in the same database table. IDs must be unique across all four modules. For example, a labor resource and a requester cannot have the same ID. If you enter an ID that is already in use, you are prompted to correct this when you attempt to save the new record.

4. Enter the name for the labor record in the Name field.

   The name does not need to be unique like the Labor ID.

5. Complete all required fields on the Labor Details page.

   Required fields are highlighted in blue and include: Labor ID, Name, Initials, labor Type, Craft , and Repair Center. Some of these fields may have default values. For further information on the fields displayed on the Details page, see Details Tab.

6. Access other tabs to enter additional data on this labor record.

7. Click Save.
