A group is required for managers to see their employees in Timeero.
Assigning users to a group is more than just an organizational tool.
Groups enable Timeero managers to easily supervise their crew and allow Timeero employees to see where their team is currently working.
Having groups saves admins and managers time by being able to assign jobs & create schedules for an entire group of workers in specific departments.
Follow these steps to create a group:
- Log into the web portal and click on USERS.
- Click on Add Group (top right, orange button).
- Name your group.
- Assign users to the group by using the search box and checking the boxes to the left of each user.
- Click Save Group.
THINGS TO NOTE:
- When a manager and employee are assigned to the same group, the manager can view when the employee is clocked in and the employee's time, mileage & shifts. The employee has no access to any of the manager's whereabouts, time, mileage, or shifts.
- When the permission View Who's Working is turned on for an employee, they will be able to see the locations of those employees & managers assigned to the same group as them.
- Only Admins can add, edit, and delete groups.
