1 | TIMER PRO PROFESSIONAL ENHANCEMENTS | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Date | Module | Description of Update | Version Vnn.mm.dd.yyyy | Video Library Section | Video Description | ||||||||||||||||||||
3 | 3/2/2021 | Balance | Where Used and Mass Update capabilities added to balances. Ability to isolate line balances under folder structures and find all occurrence of specific, text, times and videos. Content in the balances matching the user defined parameters can then be mass updated to new values. Detailed Excel reports of all changes made are generated to give users the opportunities to select the changes to be moved to production. | V17.3.2.2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | 2/12/2021 | Storyboards | Support added to capture videos attached to a worksheet via hyperlinks. This option was created when a client wanted to add a single video to an operation instead of a listing of all videos in the operation by individual activities. The feature in Timer Pro that allows new "segment" videos to be created from the Video Training option or Video from Grouping makes this an ideal feature. Users use the standard Excel Hyperlink feature and must use the word "video" in the Text to Display description of the hyperlink. Only MP4 files can be attached as MP4 files are one of the few video formats that will stream automatically to the latest browsers. | V17.2.18.2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | 2/5/2021 | Work Instructions | Added macro to allow a symbol to act as a "Return to Summary" sheet when standard work instructions included both job element sheets by operation and single summary worksheet that consolidated results for the entre task. Major ease of use feature for end users. | V17.2.18.2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | 2/5/2021 | Work Instructions | Support for work instructions with footers. Requires a fixed (and maximum) number of worksheet lines in the design. Used by clients who wish to put images at the bottom of their standard work designs | V17.2.8.2021 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | 1/18/2021 | Work Instructions | Automated symbol insertion added to work instructions. Almost all clients make use of symbols in their work instructions to highlight specific conditions e.g. safety concerns, QC, inspection etc. The manual copying and pasting of symbols is manual effort intensive and prone to error e.g. positioning, aligning etc. Excel macros are now provided with the latest Timer Pro install. These macros can be added retroactively to any existing work instruction designs as well as any new work instruction designs. The macro provides a two click process to position any symbol in an Excel cell in the body of the work instructions. The insertion also centers the symbol vertically in the cell. Multiple symbols can be place in a single cell. A single click will also clear out all icons from a cell. This generates a substantial productivity and ease of use gain to the end users. | V17.1.19.2021 | 12. Standard Work Instructions New Sub Section: AUTOMATE THE USE OF SYMBOLS IN YOUR REPORTS | All videos in that section | ||||||||||||||||||||
8 | 1/8/2021 | Video Timer Pro | When adding quantities to individual observations in a video time study you have to change the focus field to 'Quantity".

Video Time and Motion - Sub Section: Summary | Time Preview - All Data, Averages and Quantities (4:52) | ||||||||||||||||||||
9 | 12/24/2020 | MAJOR NEW CAPABILITY | ENGINEERED SAVINGS FROM VIDEO ANALYSIS. Based on client feedback a new "Savings and FIlters" group was added to the Home ribbon in Line Balance module. This group consolidates the "Engineered Standards from Video" section shown below dated 11/23/2020 and adds new work to highlight and report on savings suggestions made by the user. New filter options allow for the visual presentation of activities where savings estimates are made and also show the resulting affect on the process line balance. The text from the 11/23/2020 update follows: New capabilities, features and reports to allow users to easily identify, quantify and act on potential time savings from video content. Special reports are provided to document the effect of their changes and supporting video clips can be created with a single click to complement their time saving suggestions. Although it can be used by any user it will be particularly useful for users with long cycle times where using classical engineered standard approaches such as predetermined times would be prohibitively expensive. Also includes features to use the same concept with legacy processes that have no video content. Continued enhancement is planned as feedback received from clients. | V17.1.19.2021 | New Section 4 of Video Library Published January 2017 | |||||||||||||||||||||
10 | 12/9/2020 | Line Balance | Abiility to add precedence constraints to any line balance. Easily define activities that must occur before others. Graphic display of precedences that have been set.

12 | 9/18/2020 | Video Time Study / Line Balance | Added ability to exchange named clipboards between Video Time Study and Line Balance - and vice versa. This makes it easy to add blocks of work from Video Time Study to a line balance by using a named clipboard. And also - for the first time - be able to take blocks of work from Line Balance via a named clipboard and import them into Video Time Study to make additions and edits. The edited data in Video Time Study can then be moved back into the line balance by named clipboard. | V16.09.24.2020 | 5. Video Time Study / 6. Line Balance.

15 | 6/24/2020 | Multi Model Line Balance | Mass Update activities across multi model balances. Need arose due to multiple models going down the same line with the same activity occurring several times in each model. A change in one occurrence of an activity requires the update of that activity in all places it is use in that model and the same change to be made in all models in that lines that used the same activity. Saves 95% of effort previously required. | V.16.06.30.2020 | Mass Updating Every Ocuurence of an Activity in Multi Models (3:47) | |||||||||||||||||||||

85 | 8/6/2015 | Time Study Excel Templates | As of December 2014 Microsoft has made controls on worksheets called ActiveX controls a security risk. The Timer Pro Time Study templates were developed with these ActiveX controls, mostly on the Main Menu and Reporting worksheets. Recent Microsoft automated updates of Office Excel 2010 and 2013 may strip out these controls and this will make the Timer Pro template unstable. All ActiveX controls have been replaced with macro code and cells have been formatted to appear as buttons to simulate the controls on the Main Menu and Reporting worksheets. This version should now be compatible with current and future version of the Excel.You can see the version of the Excel templates on row 32 of the Main Menu sheet. The format is V11/mm.dd.yyyy where mm=month, dd=day,yyyy=year. This change was implemented in V11/05.27.2015 - i.e. on May 27, 2015 version of the worksheet. Any newer dates will also have this change incorporated. | Video Timer Pro V11.8.4.2015, Balance V11.8.6.2015, Time Study Excel V11/05.27.2015 - Published to Web Site - Thursday August 8, 2015 | None Required | |||||||||||||||||||||
86 | 8/4/2015 | Balance | In Import of Manual and Grouped Excel templates included a check to insure the Task and Grouping descriptions do not exceed 25 characters. This reflects the 31 position charcater limit that Excel enforces in the sheet tabs at the bottom of the screen. Timer Pro uses the additiona 6 chacaters between 25 and 31 for its internal use. The Send to Balance selection now includes this check and will ask the user to correct the issue before the data is sent to the the Balance module. Issue was that users were only discovering the issue when they went to print the their Standard Work or Packages - at that point it took a lot more effort to correct. | Video Timer Pro V11.8.4.2015, Balance V11.8.6.2015, Time Study Excel V11/05.27.2015 - Published to Web Site - Thursday August 8, 2015 | None Required | |||||||||||||||||||||
