Employee and Group functions as a Supervisor
The various icons and menus on the Dashboard provide access to all the tools or functions in TMS that you are allowed to use. There are broadly two types of functions:
Employee functions — TMS functions which relate to a single Employee
Group functions — TMS functions for working with a user-specified group of Employees.
Employee functions
Employee functions are TMS tools which you can use to access the information for individual Employees. The main ones include Employee details, Clock card, Recent clockings, Absence profile, Timesheets, Entitlements and so on. They are available either from the Employee menu in the drop-down Header pane or directly via the icons on the Dashboard.
The following shows all the functions available in the Employee menu in the drop-down Header pane:
For example, selecting Employee details from the Employee menu in the drop-down Header pane or from the Supervisor Dashboard will display the details for the currently selected Employee. In the following example, Employee 000009 is selected:
When you are using an Employee function you can select a different Employee from the Employee drop-down list or by using the arrows to the right of the selected Employee's name in the Supervisor toolbar.
The information displayed in the window will be updated to match that of the newly selected Employee.
Group functions
Group functions are TMS tools for working with a user-specified group of Employees. There are separate functions for accessing the information relating to individual Employees.
These include Anomalies, Badge list, Calendars, Group absence profile, Group approvals, Group clock card, Group messages, On-site list, Requests list and Skills.
The function you select will relate to the group of Employees currently selected in the Group drop-down list in the Supervisor toolbar.
To use a Group function, first, select your chosen group of Employees from the Group drop-down list. Then select the function e.g. Request list by clicking on the icon on the Supervisor Dashboard or from the Group menu in the drop-down Header pane:
The selected Group function will display the appropriate details for all the Employees in your selected Group.
To display the details for a different group of Employees, simply select the group from the Group drop-down list or use the navigational arrows next to the list and the details displayed will be changed accordingly.
