Since 1983 Asgard Systems has been producing employee. Our Time Tracker automates and analyses the scheduling process. It manages shift schedules, time off, attendance, absence and vacations.

Functionally, it is a powerful tool that allows you to easily maintain information in relation to all other activity in the system. Data is validated, cross-referenced, stored and summarized in a way that gives you complete information for decision-making.

Time Tracker allows you to design schedules in context to all activities. Visually determine your coverage for all shifts.

All versions of Time Tracker support network installation. Additional users can be added to an installation at no extra charge. Visit http://www.asgardsystems.com/demo.html www.asgardsystems.com/demo.html for network installation instructions.

New features:

* The schedule maintenance module automatically partitions the schedule window. When horizontal scrolling is applied, Location and Shift columns automatically remain stationary.
* The automatic Location and Shift partition is cleaner, neater and smaller than the old manual style. The result is a better display and more information.
* The Location columns (in the Schedule maintenance grid) may display the Location description and the Location notes. It is now easier to make scheduling decisions based upon specific Location information.
* The Shift columns (in the Schedule maintenance grid) may display the Shift description as well as the start & end times. This is great for organizations with large numbers of shifts. Identifying specific shifts and their associated times is easier than ever.
* The Booking columns (in the Schedule maintenance grid) may display more Booking information. In addition to displaying the Employee name, you can now choose to display the Employee Type, Booking start & end times and the Booking notes. This means greater control and more at-a-glance Booking information on the grid.
* Booking cell sizes can be adjusted to provide more space for all of the new information being displayed. All cells in the Schedule maintenance grid can be resized horizontally and vertically.
