Employee Validation
1. Employee Validation Setup
This edition applies to MDS14-5 Application (Employee Validation Module) and all subsequent releases and modifications until otherwise indicated in new revisions.
This module is responsible for creating trainings that operators should perform to work in manufacturing processes. The whole operator control (registration and information maintenance) and trainings and certificates required for the operators work in shop floor (mainly in medical plants) will be administered by this feature.
Employee Validation is a manual input module that allows individuals working on the Employee other than those creating a new configuration and maintaining an existing one.
It provides a method of creating employee / password / training records that can be administered by non-SFDC personnel, and a method of identifying specific processes that must be controlled.
It will still support the traditional login methods for data collectors without controlled processes.
To access Employee Validation module, click onEmployee Validation Maintenance in the main MDS page:
Figure 1: MDS Modules
The Employee Validation Maintenance page is displayed as follow:
Figure 2: Employee Validation Maintenance
Employee Validation is composed by sub-modules and these work instructions will help users to understand each one.
- Certificate Maintenance: responsible for manage the certificates as well associate process and process groups to certificates;
- Class Maintenance:
- EV Process Maintenance:
- Employee Maintenance:
- Process Group Maintenance:
Employee Maintenance
To access Employee Maintenance, click on Employee Maintenance in the employee validation main page.
The first step in setting up Employee Validation is to define all the Employees in the Employee Maintenance module.
Listing employees
The Employee List displays all employees’ name, type and number and allows filtering data by entering data in the available field, edit employees by clicking on Edit icon and delete employees by clicking on Delete icon;

- Operators are the production folks who perform work. They either have the certification to perform a job or not. That is the EV control for processes.
- Supervisors are required to be in EV and have at least 1 certificate. They do not necessarily have to be in every certificate in order to be able to scan serial numbers through the processes. Effectively, they are "superusers" which can scan serial numbers through any process, without having the actual certification. They just must have 1 certification for something.
- Debug/Rework are the production folks who perform work with debug/rework roles;
- Click onChange Picture to add the Employee image.

Certificate List
Figure 27: Certificate List
Note that in the Certificate list, it is possible to see some unsynchronized certificates, which means that it has at least one process group that is out of date. In the next steps, the user will be able to turn non synchronized certificates into synchronized certificates.
Adding Certificates
1. ToAdd Certificates and associate processes and process groups or Part/Family to Certificates, click on Add Certificate in the Tasks area.
Figure 28: Add Certificate
The Certificate Maintenance screen displays:
Follow the steps below to add a certificate:
1. Fill in the fields:
Certificate Name: The name of the new certificate;
Pilgrim Role: this field is used to associate the Certificate to a Pilgrim role. It was created to maintain a list of the ’Roles’ in Pilgrim that require training for EV purposes, linked to the EV certificate associated with that role.
Life Span: # of days the certificate is valid;
Grace Period: # of days allowed after expiration (can not be grater than 30);
2. Click on Ok to confirm. The new certificate must display in the Certificate list.
3. Click on the Add Process / Process Group button to define the process (es) and/or groups that are associated to the certificate.
Adding Process/Process Group to the certificate:
Figure 29: Certificate X Process/Process Group
The Certificate X Process / Process Group page displays:
Select the Process Groups check box to add process groups available in the list. Do the same steps to Processes and click on the Add button.
The inserted process/process group is displayed in the Process/Process Group tab.

Figure 30: Certificate Maintenance Process/Process Group Tab
To add Process to the process groups, click on Add Process. The added processes/process groups are displaying highlighted.
a)Creating generic certificates.
If multi-pass device numbers are used in SFDC, then it is recommended to create a generic certificate and assign some process to it. The process does not have to exist in any route. An example would be SFDC Training for the process. The process is not used for any locations or in any route. The process is controlled by Employee Validation and a generic certificate is created for this process.
All employee numbers are associated to this certificate/process. The reason for this is to allow any employee to log into a device number that has one or more EV controlled processes. Without a generic certificate/process, employees would not be able to log into the device number to perform the non-EV controlled processes that are assigned to the multi-pass device number. Employee validation insures that serial numbers that are at a controlled process can only be scanned by employees that have the necessary certification for the controlled process. Without the generic certificate/process, non certified employees will not be able to log into multi-pass device numbers.
b) To Remove 'CERTIFICATE 'Process/Process Group:
Figure 31: Remove Process Group
Click the process/process group to select it and click on Remove Selected button. The removed process/process group displays in dark gray in the list. To Undo Delete 'CERTIFICATE 'Process/Process Group, select it from list and click on Undo button.

To add part numbers/family, select the item (s) in the list and click on OK.
Editing Certificates
1. To Edit Certificates, select the certificate in the Certificate List and follow the same instructions to Add Certificates: update the mandatory fields and click on OK to commit the change.
Figure 35: Certificate Maintenance
NOTE: Every time the user adds a new Process on the Certificate, the application creates a new instance of that Certificate. All classes created before the Certificate changes will be linked to the old Certificate instance.
See the example:
1- Create Certificate CERT with process "A" and "B";
2- Create a Class for CERT with employee Y and Z;
3- Edit CERT and add the new Process "C";
On this example the employees Thomas and Keith will be trained only on the processes "A" and "B". If the certificate is changed, they need to be trained on "C", therefore another class will need to be created for the same CERT.
Figure 36: Certificate Instances
GOLD STAR represents the last update;
SILVER STARS are the old instances that are associated to the classes already created.
