When reporting as a team, all the employees in the team should be time clock users. One indirect clocking will be created for each employee entered. If the **Allow Concurrent Operation** is set to **No** in the **Shop Floor Employees** window, ongoing clockings for the employee will be stopped. ### Start Indirect The logged-in user can press the Start/Stop Indirect Button to start an indirect time. The user can select the work center. If the user selects an operation and presses the button, the selected work center is automatically fetched. Select the Indirect Job Id and enter the clocking note. Employees can be added so the indirect time will be clocked against them as well. The clocking is recorded into IFS. ![Start Indirect Selecting Operation](https://3218748546-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MiW42YxFsGXIDjQJKNR%2F-MlPKnLTevJ-BMt6Sa1Z%2F-MlPU9A7s3frTs05aP24%2FStartIndirect1.gif?alt=media\&token=2b6b1ddc-cf9b-4b9a-b175-7c70880a8881) ![Start Indirect without selecting Operation](https://3218748546-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MiW42YxFsGXIDjQJKNR%2F-MlPKnLTevJ-BMt6Sa1Z%2F-MlPVa6FoQC1Epa0XcGf%2FStartIndirect2.gif?alt=media\&token=3c782a41-4ef8-463b-83bd-031d53cf7f51) ### Stop Indirect When the user wants to stop an Indirect Job the user can press the Start/Stop Indirect button and if there is an ongoing Indirect Job it will be shown. Other employees can be added and the clocking can be stopped. ![](https://3218748546-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MiW42YxFsGXIDjQJKNR%2F-MlPKnLTevJ-BMt6Sa1Z%2F-MlPSiX45fyFBxl6sAFE%2FStopIndirect.gif?alt=media\&token=fcc93aa0-3a4b-49c2-bddc-b0ce4305298c) ## --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.novacura.com/marketplace-documentation/applications/explore-apps/ifs/shop-floor-reporting/documentation/documentation/report-indirect-time.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
