Introduction to Sub Factories

Empower Sub Factories are an option that allows you to

• filter out or see only selected Employees for part of your organisation

• View a Schedule for part of your organisation

• view Scheduling Capacity for part of our organisation.  

You may think of a Sub Factory as a separate Factory in a separate physical location, or a department, or a group of Employees.  


A simple example may clarify how Sub Factories work.


Imagine in your factory if you have two areas - the wood area and the metal area.  


Each area has a supervisor who only wants to see the Employees working in their area.  Which in Empower Time Track is called a Sub Factory.


Empower allows for an Employee to be tagged to a Sub Factory.  


To do this 

 2.  Add a Subfactory - see Adding or Editing a Sub Factory


  2.  From the Employee page (see Setting Up Employees) enter in a Sub Factory name as highlighted below.

 
      



3.  From the Main Management Menu select Tools > Settings and then the General tab (highlighted below), click on the Show By Sub Factory drop down box.
