It could be either in the help system specific to your manufacturer, or displayed when you click the Help button on the relevant form or menu.

The Change Times form enables you to amend a labour time (labour code time) for any or all models or slots (identifying a labour time for a labour code) that use the selected labour code.

Amending a Labour Code Time

This procedure amends a labour time (labour code time) for any or all models and slots that use the selected labour code.

To amend a labour code time:

  1. Browse to the parent level, select the Levels grid row whose time you want to amend, and click Search.

    The Times grid is populated with labour codes contained in the selected level.

    Tip: If you want to amend the Description, right-click the Times grid row whose description you want to amend and select Edit... from the shortcut menu. The Labour Code form that is then displayed enables you to proceed to the Change Times form, in which case skip the next step in this procedure.

  2. Right-click the Times grid row whose time you want to amend and select Change Times... from the shortcut menu.

    The Change Times form is displayed.

  3. Select rows in the text box (grid) representing models or slots that use the selected labour time code.

  4. Enter the New time and click Set Time.

    The labour time code for all selected model rows is set to the New time and the values of the selected rows in the text box (grid) are updated.

  5. Click OK.

    You are returned to either the Labour codes/times maintenance form or the Labour Code form, depending on whether you are creating a new labour code record or amending time codes (and, in the latter case, depending on how you reached the Change Times form).

    Note: If you redisplay the Change Times form during the session, the rows in the text box (grid) that you selected are still selected.
