Content was last updated in 06.23.05-00

Revision History

R2 and R2Labor have a lot of data in sync, and at times the same data is modified by one user logged either through R2/R2Labor, which another user is accessing it through a different interface. In such case, a conflict of interest may occur if changes to the Labor Line(s) is not notified to the users.

To address this issues, notifications have enabled in R2, through change-logs in R2Labor, at both — Planning Order and Whiteboard. These notifications (Change Log) will appear as a popup panel, when you click the 'Thunderbolt' icon in the CT (Conflict) column of Planning Order.

Additionally, some access-alteration restrictions have been added in R2Labor. Now, system will not allow you to modify an un-planned Labor Line, while a changes made to the same line in R2 are being saved. During the Save operation in R2, system will restrict any pre-emptive over-writing of changes to the lines in R2Labor.

These changes to the Labor Line(s) may include - Editing Labor information, Date re-assign, or just simply deletion of the line. However, all such changes will appear chronologically in the Change Log notifications.
