Learn how to add a list of field employees for mobile users to select from on the mobile device.
Table of Contents
It is important to understand that EMPLOYEES are different from USERS:
- The "field employee" list is what populates the employee dropdown for the foreman to select from on the mobile device.
- Adding someone as a User gives the person a profile and login to the PeerAssist platform.
Add Employees Individually
- Navigate to Admin >Employees and click on New
- First and last name is required
- Employee number is required to differentiate employees with similar names
- Address/Phone/Email is optional
- Trade/Class is optional and will be used in the Timecard workflow. It is not yet compatible with T&M or Labor Rates.
- Switch a field employee's Status from Active to Inactive to easily remove them from dropdown menus without deleting them and adding them again in the future (in the case of layoffs)
- Save your changes
