There is a question regarding the possibility to disable the auto populate functionality on the Shop Floor Workbench when a user logs in.

If you are using shop floor workbench filters the information will automatically populate in shop floor workbench. There are no system parameters to turn this on or off.

Yes this is supported by simply not connecting the employee to any filter. Still the shop floor employee can manually select the filter once identified in workbench, or manually enter the required filter criteria

In what circumstances would you not want an employee to see the shop orders onto which they can clock on?

If they’re providing a barcode via paperwork and they want the users to only scan the barcode for the job at hand, that might be one scenario. We populate the available shop order operations with filters, but we also have some users scanning the operation ID barcode to only return that specific operation in the workbench. It seems to help make sure they’re selecting the correct operation to clock into instead of possibly choosing the wrong one from what is sometimes a rather lengthy list.

 

Another reason might just be that sometimes if you have a lot of orders, the workbench takes some time to populate.
