UC1 · Step 1 of 5 — Open your scope

Maria Rivera · Staffing Clerk · Dept 3630 / Line 5 · Tuesday, 06:00

Maria signs in (Windows Integrated Authentication — same login she uses for every other plant system). The app opens to her default scope: Dept 3630, Line 5, Shift A. She doesn't have to navigate to it; the app remembers where she works.

Staffing Clerk workspace

What to notice

Left rail · Scope Explorer. Department 3630 is expanded, Line 5 · Shift A is highlighted in blue. Maria can drill into other lines or facilities if she has access to them, but her default lands her where she works.
Center pane · Shop Orders tab. Today's planned orders for Line 5 · Shift A are listed: shop order, UPC, job code, jobs needed, jobs keyed, team assignment, status. She can see at a glance which orders are OK (fully staffed), which are SHORT, which need UNITS captured (job 0055 hand-pack), and which are SPREAD-flagged (TTS).
Right rail · Live Validation. Currently empty — she hasn't selected an order yet. As soon as she does, this panel will start checking her work against Kronos punches and the rule set.
Bottom · Shift KPIs. At a glance: 18 employees required to meet standard, 17 already keyed, 22 scheduled / 20 clocked in, 3 open errors, 5 warnings. Maria knows immediately whether the shift is on track before she starts editing.

Why it matters

Today, Maria has to look at the staffing sheet, the schedule print-out, and sometimes a Kronos punch report to assemble the same picture this single screen gives her. The point of this workspace is not to replace her judgment — it's to put everything in front of her so she can spend her time deciding rather than gathering.
