4.Evaluation and further processing of the time study in T4

Note:

•If a TiCon user checks out a time study to a mobile device, the time study is saved on this mobile device.

•It is possible to give the device to another user, so that this user logs on with his TiCon user ID.

•All time studies on the device are retained and can be changed by the other user. Checking in to T4 is only possible if the other user also has write access to the relevant time study in TiCon4. This makes it possible to share time studies.

•In T4 checked in analyses are automatically removed from the device.

•The time of check-in is saved at the time study.

•The order of process sections can be changed in the app in the first cycle by clicking on the single process sections.

•If the "Create sections in the app during time measurement" checkbox in the administration has been activated for the "Zeitstudie" element configuration, it is possible to add further sections in the app.

•If the "Take photos to the app" checkbox is activated in the administration for the "Zeitstudie" element configuration, it is possible to take photos in the app and transfer them to TiCon.

•A time study that has been checked out can neither be renamed nor deleted in TiCon4. The user is shown a warning message.

•Time studies can be manually removed from the device.

•It is possible to use the App to perform time studies with just one cycle.

•The reference quantity is included for calculation of the average time per section and displayed in the App.

•For each element configuration in the administration, the "Time measurement in the app" function can be used to set whether the flyback time or the cumulative time is displayed during time measurement with the app. If "Flyback time and cumulative time" are selected for the element configuration, the time to be displayed can be freely changed between flyback time and cumulative time in the app settings.

•If https is used to transfer the time studies and you have an untrusted (own) certificate, the transfer of the data can be permitted by activating the Allow untrusted SSL certificates function in the App.
