What can I do with my page settings
Last Updated 10 years ago
Firstly to get to the page settings you need to click on the “Settings” tab as shown below:
Once the “Settings” tab has been chosen you will see the following options:
Starting with the show only group, I will step through each one in detail:
Show Only:
What this option does is allow you to choose what days/entries should be shown. Depending on your rules, Saturday and Sunday could not be considered working days. So if you change it from “Calendar Days” to “Working Days” then the report will not show Saturday and Sunday. Keeping it on “Calendar Days” will show every day as shown on a calendar.
Primarily Order By:
What this option allows you to do is decide by which means it must order the results displayed on the report. Selecting “Department” will order it by department, selecting “ Employee Code” will order it via employee code and selecting “Employee Name” will order it according to employee name.
Then order By:
This option looks at the selection you made in the Primarily Order By setting, then applies that selection first and then this one. It works much the same as Primarily Order By.
Display Columns:
This option allows you to choose which columns the report must show by default. Selecting “User ID” will add a column with the users ID into the report. It works the same with “Name”, “Description” and “Department”.
Page Type:
This option allows you to choose whether the layout of the page should be landscape or portrait. Select the layout you want.
Show/Hide Advanced:
There are a few options here, the first one “Show Shift Columns” allows the report to show columns that are linked to shifts. For instance, if you have a normal shift, Saturday shift and Sunday Shift. Ticking this option will add a column for each of those shifts.
The “Show Overtime Columns” option adds a column onto the report for each shift seen as overtime.
The “Show Daily Totals” option adds a total clocked in time at the end of each day, on the report.
The “Show Grand Totals” option adds total values for each column at the end of the report on a specific employee.
The “Show Export Batch Values” option shows the values that will be exported into VIP at the top right of the report. Many times these values will be different to the values shown under the grand total as the “Export Batch Values” have each specific rule applied to them.
Empty Values:
What this option does is, it allows you to select what should be displayed under columns where there is no value. Selecting “0” will place a “0” where there are no values. Selecting “00:00” will place “00:00” where there are no values and selecting “(nothing)” will display nothing where there are no values.
Each of these options can just be selected and then you can just click preview or click on the “Report Selection” tab to return to the normal screen.
