you would like the system to require this user to change their password
the first time they log into the system, put a check mark in the Require Password Change option.
The
Time Offset field is used when
you have employees logging into the TimeForce system from a different
time zone. Based on this setting, the system will automatically adjust
all times entered by this employee to compensate for the difference in
hours between time zones. Leave this field at “0” if this user is not
logging in from a different time zone.
The
user profile must be created within the system before permissions can
be assigned. Click on the [UPDATE] icon located in the upper right-hand
corner of the screen to create the user profile.
Click
on the drop-down icon to the right of the Assigned
Employees header. This section of the screen is where you define
which employees this user is to have access to.
The
Unassigned Employees section of
the screen displays a list of available employees. The Assigned
Employees screen shows the employees that are assigned to this
user. To assign employees to the user, highlight the desired employee
names in the Unassigned Employees
section of the screen. To select multiple employees, hold down the [CTRL]
or [SHIFT] key on your keyboard while clicking. Click on the [>>]
icon. The selected employees are moved to the Assigned
Employees section of the screen.
To
unassign employees from this user, select the desired employee names from
the Assigned Employees section
of the screen, and click on the [<<] icon. The selected employees
are moved to the Unassigned Employees
section of the screen.
Click
on the down-arrow icon to the right of the Permissions
header. This section of the screen is used to view the access rights that
this user is granted. If you would like to create a user with definable
levels of access, use a “Customizable Rights” user-type. See Supervisor
User Access Rights for a description of the access rights allowed
to a supervisor user.
Click on the [UPDATE] icon
located in either the upper or lower right-hand sections of the screen.
The user is added to the system.
You should now be able
to log out of the TimeForce system and log back in using the User Name
and Password that you just created for this user.
