Employee

This screen displays employees of a customer. The screen consists of these tabs:

·         Employee List displays summary information for a group of employees, and allows you to choose an employee to work with.

·         Employee Detail displays more information about a specific employee. If you are authorized to do so, you can add or change employee information on this tab. 

Note: This screen differs for employees of Private Label customers. That screen is shown in Employee Detail (Private Label).

To access the Employee screen, do one of the following:

·         Select a customer on the full-mode Customer screen, and then select Customer -> View Employees from the drop-down menu:

Selecting View Employees from the action list has the same effect.

·         Select a card on the Card screen and then select Card -> View Employees from the drop-down menu. Selecting View Employees from the action list has the same effect.

·         Select Employee ->Find from the drop-down menu:

This can be slower than the previous two options. You can improve performance by entering search criteria on the Employee List tab to narrow the search results.
