QuickFind Employee


Overview QuickFind

Workspace

Using the QuickFind QuickNav and a Time Period you can filter your search for a specific person or set of people based upon their names or ID. The results then display on the Workspace.

The QuickFind QuickNav link will only allow you to search all employees that have been assigned to you based on the name criteria that you select. The workspace contains detailed information for the employees and time period that are currently selected. Information that does not fit the display width of the column is indicated by ellipses (…). The workspace columns can be resized to display the full line of data. The data in a workspace may be sorted by clicking the column heading. You can sort by either one or two columns. Manipulate columns as follows: • Click a column header to sort the display according to the column • Click a column header a second time reverses the sort order Clicking a second column header sorts the display a second time according to the second column.

Version 6.1


1-4


QuickNavs and HyperFind Queries


Overview

QuickNavs HyperFind Queries Tips for use

QuickNavs are the “tools” used to perform different actions in Enterprise eTIME. HyperFind Queries are used with QuickNavs to filter “who” you want to apply the QuickNav action based upon some selected criteria.

A QuickNav is a link in Enterprise eTIME under the MY QUICKNAVS tab. QuickNavs provide different tools to view and/or modify employee labor account information. For example, Pay Period Close QuickNav provides a convenient summary view of employee data. If need be (from the same screen) timecards may be accessed to make changes.

HyperFind queries are used to determine the “who” and the “when” to be displayed in a QuickNav. The queries available for use depend upon what an administrator has assigned to you according to your role. To use them, you determine a criterion and instruct Enterprise eTIME to find people in that timeframe that match your criteria.

It is a best practice to use the default queries that your organization provides for frequently used functions of your job, such as running standard reports on all employees in your group. If you can create, your own HyperFind queries use the recommended guidelines to efficiently and effectively perform searches.

Timecard Editor Display Views

Overview


Hourly View Project View

Timecard view refers to the format displayed when viewing an employee timecard. The type of view displayed depends on the time entry method used by an employee and how it is set up by the Enterprise eTIME administrator based on a company’s individual requirements. The two types are: • Hourly View • Project View In this view, an employee’s IN and OUT punches display for each day per pay period the employee is scheduled to work. This view also displays any transfer information, the total hours worked in a shift, the total hours worked for the day, and a cumulative total for the week. Employee punches are generated by the employee punching in and out using Enterprise eTIME Time Stamp or similar device, automatically populated based on the employee’s schedule, or may be manually entered. In this view, the total number of hours worked displays for each day per pay period the employee is scheduled to work, along with the pay code associated with those hours. This view also displays the total number of hours for the week. Hours are entered manually by an employee or automatically populated based on the employee’s schedule.

Saving, Refreshing and Calculating a Timecard


Overview Saving Refresh Calculate Totals

Visual indicators in Enterprise eTIME let you know when you have unsaved edits. As you enter data you have the options to refresh, calculate or save your changes.

The name of the workspace, i.e. TIMECARD, turns orange and an “*” appears to indicate unsaved changes. As you apply edits to the timecard you must remember to save these changes to the database. Unsaved changes are not applied.

Refresh is a way to undo the changes you have just made on the screen. Information in a timecard or schedule comes from the database. If you do not save your edits, the system cancels the edits and returns the data to the most recently saved timecard view. You can calculate the timecard totals without saving the edits to the database. By calculating the timecard totals, you can see the impact of changes or edits before committing them to the system. Once you calculate the totals you can save your edits or refresh the timecard to remove the changes.

Version 6.1

Shift Overview Shift is a span of time with a start and an end time usually within a 24 hour period.

Shifts are the basic building block to all other elements of a schedule.

Shift Definition Pattern Overview

Pattern Definition

Patterns suggest a recurring design; an arrangement or an order. In Enterprise eTIME this is also the case.

Patterns contain one or more shifts that repeat over specific days.

Terms- Schedule & Schedule Groups


Schedule Overview Schedule Definition Schedule Group Overview Schedule Group Definition

How many times have people asked you what’s your schedule? It could mean are you free a particular day and time or when in the upcoming week are you working? A schedule in Enterprise eTIME is a series of shifts that occur over a period of time. Using the pattern example from before; (7am to 3pm shift on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; and 3pm to 11pm shifts on Tuesdays and Fridays); now the schedule is created. When a number of employees have similar working characteristics they can be grouped together. This is called a schedule group.

This group may be used for scheduling or any other time card functions.
