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

3. 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.
