This idea benefits the customer by logically grouping related information on the employee setup screen when additional user fields are enabled. They will find it easier to locate relevant fields if grouped together which will
Right now, in the Employee Data section of the Employee Setup screen, the fields are ordered as follows:
- Employee Type
- Title
- Department
- Location
- Supervisor
- Home 1
- Home 2
- Home 3
- Home 4 (if enabled)
- Home 5 (if enabled)
- Home 6 (if enabled)
- Home 7 (if enabled)
- Home 8 (if enabled)
- Home 9 (if enabled)
- Department 1 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 1 (if enabled)
- Department 2 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 2 (if enabled)
- Department 3 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 3 (if enabled)
- Department 4 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 4 (if enabled)
- Department 5 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 5 (if enabled)
- Department 6 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 6 (if enabled)
- Department 7 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 7 (if enabled)
- Department 8 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 8 (if enabled)
- Department 9 (if enabled)
- Max Weekly Hours (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 9 (if enabled)
- Location 1 (if enabled)
- Location 2 (if enabled)
- Location 3 (if enabled)
- Location 4 (if enabled)
- Location 5 (if enabled)
- Location 6 (if enabled)
- Location 7 (if enabled)
- Location 8 (if enabled)
- Location 9 (if enabled)
- Default Pay Rate
It would seem beneficial to have the Location, Department, and Pay Rate fields in line with each other and give the order of the fields a more logical flow overall. Consider the following:
- Employee Type
- Title
- Supervisor
- Max Weekly Hours (if enabled)
- Location (consider renaming this Default Location)
- Department (consider renaming this Default Department)
- Default Pay Rate
- Location 1 (if enabled)
- Department 1 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 1 (if enabled)
- Location 2 (if enabled)
- Department 2 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 2 (if enabled)
- Location 3 (if enabled)
- Department 3 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 3 (if enabled)
- Location 4 (if enabled)
- Department 4 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 4 (if enabled)
- Location 5 (if enabled)
- Department 5 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 5 (if enabled)
- Location 6 (if enabled)
- Department 6 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 6 (if enabled)
- Location 7 (if enabled)
- Department 7 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 7 (if enabled)
- Location 8 (if enabled)
- Department 8 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 8 (if enabled)
- Location 9 (if enabled)
- Department 9 (if enabled)
- Pay Rate 9 (if enabled)
- Home 1
- Home 2
- Home 3
- Home 4 (if enabled)
- Home 5 (if enabled)
- Home 6 (if enabled)
- Home 7 (if enabled)
- Home 8 (if enabled)
- Home 9 (if enabled)
This places the Location, Department, and Pay Rate fields all in proximity to each other and is easier for the user to follow. Additionally, the Home fields are moved to the bottom of the screen since they are used mostly for scripting purposes. Also, if only the Max Weekly Hours field is enabled, the fields at the very top of the screen will be the relevant ones and easier to work with having moved the Home fields to the bottom.
Implementing this revised Employee Data ordering will make the Employee Setup screen easier to navigate and will also be especially beneficial for users whose accounts have additional Location, Department, Pay Rate, and Home fields enabled.
