The Activity form is displayed when you click the Activity button in the Here and Now group on the Workshop Launch Control form. The form is updated in real time in line with the Seconds to refresh parameter in the WL System Parameters.
From the Unassigned tab, you can view all Unassigned tasks that have been booked for today and those that are in progress. When a Technician clocks on to a task, it will be shown on the Actual form against the technician who clocked onto the task and will indicate that the task is now In progress.
If the Re-load all jobs option has run all the previous days work that has not been completed will be loaded into the Unassigned tasks tab.

WIPno: The Work-in-Progress number generated for this task.
Left click on the WIP number will load all lines of that WIP into the wizard. Left click on the WIPno column header will load all unassigned tasks into the wizard.
Note: If a task has rolled over and the Re-load all jobs option has run you may get a message when trying to assign a task from the unassigned tasks tab. This is because part of that labour line still exists as assigned, so before you can carry on the labour line will need to be completely unassigned first.
