Tracker U

Advanced Tracker Training Update

The Employee Tracker Certification course has filled up fairly quickly and some of you have not been able to attend due to the course being full. Because of this we will offer the course again later in the year. Anyone who missed it the first time may join us at that time.

Other classes you can sign up for include Update Release Features, Getting the Most from Your System (Founders Edition), Scheduling 101 & Advanced, and Underused Features.

Direct all training queries to 1-888-531-3774 x232, or information@advancedtracker.com.

Holidays

The Easter holiday is imminent. With every statutory holiday we receive questions such as:

• How do I setup the holiday?
• Do I need to do anything in the schedule?
• How to I get stat pay to be paid?
• What do bunnies have to do with Easter?

Three of these questions are answered in the new Holiday documentation, available online in the Frequently Answered Questions section.

Reminder: you can be notified automatically whenever there is a new FAQ topic. See the ChangeDetection box at the bottom of the FAQ page.

software updates

New ETP

The Spring 2006 release of Employee Tracker Plus is available. Here are some of the highlights of the latest release:

• Monthly Schedule has a new option to show more details in the monthly calendar, including the department name or position name.
• Weekly Schedule has a new option to copy schedules for multiple employees from one week to another, as well as a new option to clear schedules for multiple employees.
• Break Error records in Edit Time & Attendance will now show as BrkErr, making it easier to differentiate these from regular Error records.
• Edit Time & Attendance now prevents you from changing an employee's worked department to one that your signon user-id does not have access to.
• Holiday transactions that occur late in a week can now have any associated overtime populate on Time records earlier in the week.
• Plus many more enhancements and fixes.

Full details are available in the release notes available online.

The new version can be downloaded at http://www.advancedtracker.com/download/updates.html. You will need to call us for an installation password. (The password is not required for downloading, only for installation.)
