Has anybody ever heard of this?
 
beginning of shift the worker goes to terminal, enters his number, see his schedule,    does the job, comes back to the terminal and then enter his number again.....NO PAPER....NO BAR CODES.....NOTHING.
 
this is how an employee describes the data collection at his former job.
 
Anybody running DBA  familiar with a system like this?
Is this even possible?
 
I bet our guys would forget what they were supposed to do before they got back to their machine.   But he said their system worked great.
 
Thanks,
Laura
 

so....can I make DBA do this?

I fully agree with Lynn on this one as relates to probably 80+% of the DBA sites/users.
 
There are some that can certainly take advantage of a system like this, but it DOES require an organization to have a good handle on people, process, resources (machines and other related) and someone at least partially devoted to controlling/maintaining this.
