OnTakt: Settings

Defining shift times

Shift times are used to calculate daily goals for part production. If they are not set up correctly, daily goal lines will not be drawn or they will be drawn inaccurately. Shift times can also be overridden on a per-machine basis.

To set shift times:

1. Navigate to the Options page by clicking the link in the top navigation bar.
2. Enter the start and stop times for the shop.
3. Click Save Changes.

Be sure the time zone (also available from the Options page) is set correctly before defining shift times. Once the time zone is set, click Save Changes before defining shift times.

Cost savings estimation

How much is TMAC saving you?

Use the Calculator button to determine the values for these fields.

In the calculator window, enter how much each event listed would cost you, as well as how frequently it happens. Click "Save calculations" to save your work for later and automatically copy the calculated totals into the alarm value fields.

For frequency, 1 means it always happens, 0 means it never happens, 0.5 means it happens in half of cycles, etc.

These values will be shown in reports based on how frequently TMAC alarms occur.

User management

To manage users: click on the user menu at the top right of OnTakt, open Options, and then switch to the Users tab on the left.

To change a user's password: click the Edit button next to that user and enter a new password.

To prevent a user from logging in without deleting their account: switch off the Active option in the user editor.

Time zone

Changing the time zone affects the server's time-based actions, such as sending midnight notifications. Times displayed in the web interface will always be shown in the time zone of the client device (computer, phone, etc.).

Times are stored in the database using UTC, so changing the time zone will not change any other database entries, such as part or event times.

This also means that you may need to adjust the shift times. If your shift is currently 9:00am–6:00pm and the time zone is set to central time, changing the time zone to Eastern time will change the shift to 10:00am–6:00pm.
