New Features

• Custom Screen Designer:

Use the new Screen Designer to modify any of the provided screens or design

completely new screens to meet your own requirements. Make notes on screen usage so that users can quickly view basic instructions or comments.

• Improved Security Manager:

You can use the Security Manager’s new Explorer interface to set different levels of privileges for users to access databases, modules and functions, as well as screens and fields. For example, you can set hierarchical security so that a manager can see only his employees, and enable or disable access to employee records at the

individual field level.

• Multiple Document Interface (MDI):

You can edit and view more than one screen at a time.

• Explorer for Reports, Graphs, and Letters:

The new Explorer interface makes it easy to manage and organise

technique to move your documents from one folder to another.

• Enhanced screens: We have redesigned many of the screens

(including Payroll History, Training, Company Cars, Holiday and

Absence and Timesheets) and added new screens, such as Medical

Directive.

• Improved diary:

You can now link to Microsoft Outlook as your preferred diary tool.

• Working Time Regulations recordkeeping:

Keep a full record of who has opted in/out, monitor their status and record

night worker health assessment information. Generate ’opted out’ letters

for those employees opting out from the regulations, create and maintain

timesheets, and generate Working Time Regulations reports.

• Improved reporting:

The enhanced Report Designer takes report writing to the next level, using

database queries to create more comprehensive and flexible reports.

• Batch updating per employee or globally:

You can now use Batch Input to update batches of employee records one

at a time on a screen-by-screen basis. You can still use the Global Update

Wizard to update multiple records of the same type and create new

records.

• Dynamic Groups:

Groups are automatically updated when you change an employee's record.

• Improved links to Microsoft Office:

Export the contents of Personnel Manager screens directly to Microsoft

Excel and Microsoft Outlook.

• Graphically navigate through employee records and define custom

Employees can be listed by Department, Division, or any custom filter that

you define. You can use the Query Wizard to step you through the process

or defining a query, or define your own queries for listing and reporting on

employee data.

Personnel Manager allows you to store salary records in up to three

currencies, including the Euro, and automatically converts local currency
