Workforce Manager

Workforce Manager

Workforce manager is a powerful tool and allows you to carry out the assigning of Jobs, Salary, Manager and Working Hours all from the one screen.

The Group By function

The Group By function allows you to view all employee's by their Job, Location, Department, or Working Hours. This makes it very easy in sorting and selecting the employees that you wish to assign something to.

The Legend

The legend displays what the colours on the workforce planner mean to us. In the below example green is used to define 'Standard Hours Assigned' while the Creme colour is used to define 'No Standard Hours Assigned'.

Period Views and the starting date

You should notice at the top of the screen: Weeks | Months | Shifts. This adjusts what period you can visible see in the workforce planner.
While you will also see a date box. The date box tells the workforce planner what period I should display the data for.

Example: If I have Weeks selected and then select the date of 10/04/2010 Im telling the workforce planner to display that week.
