Grouping Tags Introduced

12.Apr.2010

We have now introduced 'Grouping Tags'. This function is available for 'super users' and to users with the 'cross department views' set to 'all staff' .

If however , the cross browser is restricted then only 'super users' will be able to filter.

What Are Grouping Tags

The 'tags' option gives extra flexibility to 'Who's Off' . The facility allows 'super users' to view staff in different departments but who have a common relationship which can be applied by using the 'tag'.

To 'add' a tag

Go to the 'Administration' area - in 'Customs Tags / Groups' click - 'Manage Tags / Groups' - click 'Add New Tag' - Type the name of your new tag i.e accounts .

Add Tags To Staff Members

Go back to the 'Administration' area - click 'Manage Staff Members' or 'Quick Staff Edit' , you will now see the 'New' tags section in the bottom right hand corner . Simply click the group or groups this staff member is associated with .

Please remember to 'Save' every time you change the details .

Show only who is off in WhosOff view

5.Mar.2010

If you're looking through the WhosOff view to find key members of staff that are off in a given timeframe, instead of seeing all staff irrespective of leave, now you have the option to see only those staff members that are off in the selected period.

After clicking on the WhosOff tab, check out the new option on the right hand side of the title bar, titled "Show only WhosOff", by toggling this option the list will be filtered to show only those staff member that have leave records in the selected month.

All departments..all the time

18.Feb.2009

When using the system, whenever you change the department which you would like to view (e.g. WhosOff today on the dashboard), the system remembers your preference and this stays with you until you logout, also very helpful when admistering your staff
