# Floor terminal overview

> Use the CDI queue, complete production lines, inspect job files, report problems, and switch workers safely.

The floor terminal gives production workers a focused CDI imaging view without
opening the full Flexoworks application. The browser is paired with the
organization once. Each worker then enters a personal four-digit PIN, so every
completion and problem report is attributed to the right person.

<Note>
  A floor PIN opens only the restricted floor application. Email, Google,
  password, and email-code login remain available for the full Flexoworks
  application.
</Note>

If the device is not paired yet, follow [Set up a new floor terminal](/guides/floor-terminal-setup).

## Sign in with your PIN

The locked screen shows the terminal name and location. Enter your four-digit
PIN on the touch keypad, a physical keyboard, or a USB number pad. Flexoworks
checks the PIN automatically after the fourth digit.

</Frame>

Any active team member with floor access enabled can sign in on any paired
terminal in the same organization. Workers do not need the **CDI Operator**
function to use a floor terminal.

After login, the header shows:

* the terminal name and location;
* **CDI queue** and **Last 24 hours** navigation;
* the current connection state and worker name;
* **Full app** for normal Flexoworks login;
* **Lock / switch** for ending only the current worker session.

Select **Lock / switch** whenever you leave the device or hand it to another
worker.

## Work from the CDI queue

The CDI queue contains active, non-archived jobs that:

* are in **Imaging**;
* belong to the terminal's configured location; and
* have at least one incomplete plate production line.

The most recently updated jobs appear first. Each card shows the job number and
name, customer, due date, remaining line count, remaining plate quantity, and
warnings for missing dimensions or material.

<Frame caption="The CDI queue shows eligible jobs at this terminal's location, with the most recently updated first.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flexoworks/pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA/images/floor-terminal-overview/cdi-queue.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA&q=85&s=66cc6bf748b702aee21c632ad59363fe" alt="Floor terminal CDI queue with job cards, due dates, remaining lines, and plate quantities" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/floor-terminal-overview/cdi-queue.png" />
</Frame>

Search by job name or by a complete displayed job number such as **J-0042**.
Select **Refresh** when you need an immediate update. The queue also refreshes
automatically while the page is visible and when you return to its browser tab.

<Frame caption="Search the queue by job name or formatted job number.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flexoworks/pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA/images/floor-terminal-overview/queue-search.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA&q=85&s=c89082f6014a4389b78d6f7e00bd157a" alt="CDI queue filtered with the Find a job search field" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/floor-terminal-overview/queue-search.png" />
</Frame>

If a card says **Dimensions required** or **Material required**, the job remains
visible but the affected line cannot be completed. Ask the office team to add
the missing production data in the full application.

## Review a job

Select **Open job** to see the focused production view. It includes:

* job number, name, customer, location, and due date;
* production instructions from the job notes;
* every plate production line, including completed lines;
* attached job files and their extracted PDF metadata.

Mounting-carrier and design production lines are not part of the current CDI
floor workflow.

<Frame caption="The job view keeps instructions, plate production lines, and files together.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flexoworks/pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA/images/floor-terminal-overview/job-overview.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA&q=85&s=cb565540a2179b1d173097701f4f77d1" alt="Floor job page with job details, production instructions, and plate production lines" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/floor-terminal-overview/job-overview.png" />
</Frame>

## Complete an entire production line

For an incomplete line:

1. Confirm its dimensions, quantity, material, and line notes.
2. Choose **CDI 0°** or **CDI 90° clockwise**.
3. Confirm the equipment. The terminal's default equipment is selected first
   when available; you can choose any equipment at the same location.
4. Select **Mark entire line complete**.
5. Confirm that the entire displayed quantity is complete.

Dimensions, material, and equipment are required. If no equipment is
configured at the location, an organization administrator must add it before
the line can be completed.

<Frame caption="A second confirmation prevents an accidental whole-line completion.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flexoworks/pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA/images/floor-terminal-overview/completion-confirmation.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA&q=85&s=952ed0270fdc14367f386185dc0094c6" alt="Plate production line asking the worker to confirm completion of its entire quantity" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/floor-terminal-overview/completion-confirmation.png" />
</Frame>

<Warning>
  The floor terminal completes the production line's **entire quantity**. It
  does not record partial quantities, and completing a line does not advance
  the job to its next production stage.
</Warning>

Flexoworks records the worker, terminal, equipment, CDI orientation, and time.
The completed line displays that attribution immediately.

<Frame caption="A completed line shows who completed it, where, how, and when.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flexoworks/pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA/images/floor-terminal-overview/completed-line.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA&q=85&s=146da16260cec1a0aab927fb4b8904cb" alt="Completed plate production line with orientation, equipment, worker, completion time, and Undo action" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/floor-terminal-overview/completed-line.png" />
</Frame>

### Undo a recent completion

**Undo completion** is available for two minutes only to the original worker
on the original terminal. It returns the line to incomplete without erasing the
audit history.

After two minutes, ask an organization administrator to open the job in the
full application. The administrator can correct the equipment or orientation, or mark the line
incomplete, and must record a reason.

## Open files and inspect metadata

Every attached job file appears in the floor view. Select **Open file** to open
a temporary, secured download. Expand **PDF metadata** to inspect available
production information:

* dimensions and page count;
* creator, producer, created date, and modified date;
* inks and layers;
* PDF, PDF Native, and FlexRip versions.

<Frame caption="Workers can inspect extracted PDF metadata without changing the source file.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flexoworks/pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA/images/floor-terminal-overview/file-metadata.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA&q=85&s=f2406dca28f777843146c0a8bd3c646e" alt="Expanded PDF metadata on a floor job file showing dimensions, inks, layers, and PDF details" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/floor-terminal-overview/file-metadata.png" />
</Frame>

<Warning>
  Floor access is read-only for files. Workers cannot upload, delete, rename,
  or edit files or file metadata from the terminal.
</Warning>

## Report a production problem

Select **Report a problem** on the job, describe what is blocking production,
and submit the note. Flexoworks creates an internal job comment attributed to
the current worker for the office team.

<Frame caption="A problem report sends a clear internal note to the office team.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flexoworks/pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA/images/floor-terminal-overview/problem-report.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA&q=85&s=409cd65eab863107340394776345d16d" alt="Report a production problem dialog with a note describing what is blocking production" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/floor-terminal-overview/problem-report.png" />
</Frame>

Reporting a problem does not complete a line, change the job stage, or remove
the job from the CDI queue.

## Review the last 24 hours

Open **Last 24 hours** to see up to 100 current completions recorded from this
terminal during the previous 24 hours. Each row shows the job, line details,
orientation, equipment, worker, and completion time.

<Frame caption="Recent work shows current completions from this terminal during the previous 24 hours.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flexoworks/pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA/images/floor-terminal-overview/recent-work.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA&q=85&s=740ebe8ab9fb0724e784b3984b7c5bc5" alt="Last 24 hours page with recent CDI production-line completions and attribution" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/floor-terminal-overview/recent-work.png" />
</Frame>

The original worker can also undo a completion from this list while the
two-minute undo window remains open.

## Connection, offline work, and automatic locking

The header reports **Online**, **Offline**, or **Reconnecting**. A temporary
network or server problem does not remove the terminal's pairing. Flexoworks
reconnects and renews the short terminal session automatically.

<Frame caption="The offline banner keeps the saved pairing visible while write actions are unavailable.">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/flexoworks/pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA/images/floor-terminal-overview/offline-state.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=pXK9IAjYBe1kaAVA&q=85&s=ad3e1b9f660cdfc74a493b5862e10c7d" alt="Floor terminal showing an Offline banner and disabled production actions" width="1440" height="900" data-path="images/floor-terminal-overview/offline-state.png" />
</Frame>

The current page may remain visible offline, but the first release does not
store offline changes. Completion, undo, and problem-report actions are
disabled, and new file downloads may fail. Wait until the header says
**Online** before changing production data.

For privacy, Flexoworks locks the worker after 15 minutes without real keyboard,
touch, or pointer activity. A worker session also ends after 12 hours even if
the terminal remains active. Neither lock removes the terminal pairing; enter a
PIN again to continue.

## Open the full Flexoworks application

On the PIN screen, select **Open full Flexoworks**. While a worker is signed in,
select **Full app** in the header instead. Either action opens the normal email,
Google, password, or email-code login. Flexoworks first locks the floor worker
and clears any existing full-app session. Internet access is required for this
secure switch.

After finishing in the full application, select **Return to floor** in the
sidebar. Flexoworks logs out the full-app user, returns to the still-paired
floor terminal, and asks for a PIN.
