Adding departments

This procedure shows how you can add departments to labor metrics.

To add a department to a labor metric:

  1. Select Maintenance > Labor Metrics > Department.
  2. Click Create New Entry to display the Department - Details page.
  3. Specify this information:
    Department
    Specify the name of the department.
    Description
    Specify a description of the new department.
    Start Date
    Select the date the department becomes active from the calendar lookup.
    End Date
    Select the date the department becomes inactive from the calendar lookup.
    Labor Metric Security
    Select a labor metric security group from the lookup.
    Team
    Select the team to assign to the cost center from the lookup.
  4. Click Save.
    The Department Reader Groups section is displayed.
  5. Select the reader groups that you want to apply to the department.
    A reader group must be selected for the department to be downloaded to specific readers (ones that belong to an associated reader group). Departments without reader group entries are not downloaded to readers and are therefore not available to an employee for swiping.
  6. Click Save.
