Purpose of the Report
The Engineer Login / Logout Activity dashboard is designed to provide visibility into engineer system access and working activity by tracking login and logout times. It helps managers and supervisors monitor engineer attendance, identify unusually long working sessions, and highlight potential issues such as duplicate logout records or missing logout activities.
By reviewing login durations and warning indicators, users can better understand engineer availability, support workforce management, and ensure accurate recording of engineer activity across branches and teams.
