This latest update is the first stage in transforming The Holiday Tracker into a HR management tool \u2013 you can now store much more data against each of your employees. Below is a summary of the key features in this update.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the summary, we go into more detail on each of those features below.<\/p>\n
The first step in our journey towards becoming a HR management tool is to allow the storage of more useful data against each employee, for example: Job Title, Payroll ID and Emergency Contact Details. In order to facilitate these new fields we\u2019ve split the Employee page into multiple pages which you can navigate using the new sidebar:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Each of the new fields have been carefully selected and organised into sections and pages. However, not all of the fields may be relevant to every business, so we\u2019ve given you the ability to hide fields that you don\u2019t want to use. Using the Fields button at the bottom of the side panel, you can turn on the Field Visibility Mode. This places toggle boxes over the fields that can be hidden:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Click on a toggle box to toggle the visibility of a field and then click the Fields button again to save your preference.<\/p>\n
The field visibility is set for the company as a whole, not individual employees. So you can\u2019t hide a field for one employee and have it visible for another.<\/p>\n
