We attempted to use Manufacturing Execution to modernize our time tracking by clocking-in to Job Card Device. We were using manual time cards. Upon deployment into Production environment, we found that the Job Card Device (on a tablet or PC) will not stay signed-in over night. So each morning, someone has to go to over 100 public time and attendance devices and sign them back in before our workers can clock-in to their day or a job. We reported a bug...MS says it is working as designed which is both short-sighted and unfortunate. Either through a licensing-type designation/assignment, configuration, or user roles (we could care less how), there should be a way to allow an open session to stay open for a device that is simply clocking time, attendance, and activity.
