Live Screen

The Live screen shows real-time information on employees, their activity and cost centre plus their timesheet. This will be a screen that will be commonly used whilst managing your employees in Chronicle. 

This article will give you an overview of the Live Screen, going through all of what is achievable on this screen. 

Filters

On the left-hand side there will be some filters - This is how you'll be able to filter down the list of employees so that it is more manageable.

Tag

This is where you'll be able to filter the list of employees displayed in the centre of the screen into a specific tag. This will allow you to easily see a specific department, team or organisation within your business. 

Date

This will allow you to select the date range of the data that is displayed below the list of employees. It'll show you the beginning of the week based on the date that was chosen. It will always display the current week when loading into this screen.

Status

This will always be set to 'All Employees' upon loading into this screen. This is where you can further filter the displayed employees. The available options are:

• All Employees (Shows all active employees for the tag you've selected)
• Left Employees (Shows all the inactive employees within your environment - Employees that have a leaving date set)
• Clocked IN (Shows all employees that are currently clocked in for the tag you've selected)
• Holiday (Shows all employees with a 'Holiday' status for the date you're viewing)
• Sickness (Shows all employees with a 'Sickness' status for the date you're viewing)
• Absence (Shows all employees with a 'Absence' status for the date you're viewing)
• Lateness (Shows all employees with a 'Late' status for the date you're viewing)
• Unauthorised Overtime (Shows all employees with any unauthorised overtime for that week)
• Exceptions (Shows any employees with a raised exception against a work record)
• Clocked (Shows any employee that has clocked in/out for that date)

Navigation Buttons

Green +

This button will bring up the employee creation menu, where you can quick add a new employee.

Circular Arrows (Refresh)

If you need to, this button will refresh the information displayed on screen - This may be required if you change the date and it does not immediately update the data reflecting that change.

Double & Single Left and Right Arrows

The double left and right arrows will allow you to quickly navigate backwards (Left) or forwards (Right) a week. 

The single left and right arrows will allow you to quickly navigate backwards (Left) or forwards (Right) a day. However, as this displays a weeks worth of data, these may not be required.

Single Square

This button once pressed, will bring you back to the current week. 

Clock IN & OUT

These buttons will allow you to manually clock an employee in or out - These buttons require access assigned to your user. If these are not displayed, you may not have access to this functionality.

Employees

In the middle of the screen, you'll see the list of employees. This will show all employees that are assigned to the 'Tag' on the left-hand side.
