Increased Number of Rates

To eliminate the effort of adding up hours manually, Focus automatically calculates the hours an employee should be paid and at which rate by configuring shift rules. In Focus Lite and Pro the amount of rates available is limited to 6.

However, Focus Enterprise can handle a maximum of 20 rates. By default the software still only has 6 rates but under the System Settings, it can be increased simply by adding a new rate.

Cost Centre and Rates Timesheet Options

Because of the availability of a greater number of rates in Focus Enterprise, you can hide rate columns that are empty in the Timesheet view by checking a tick box. This is useful when multiple rates have been set-up (bearing in mind you can have up to 20) meaning that you don't need to scroll along to see potential hours worked in columns that might be at the end of the Timesheet view.

Also there is a tick box to enable the Cost Centre colours to be displayed on the clocking times within the timesheet. This helps to see where hours have been worked.

Save Report Templates

Focus Enterprise allows you to set up and test Employees or absence Periods reports and then save them as templates. These can then be re-used by yourself or other Supervisors quickly and easily at a later date.

Built-in Report Designer

Additionally, a full blown designer is included to enable custom reports creation. Once created, these custom reports will be listed in the new Files section of the software.

Ability to Schedule Reports by email

The advanced reporting module in Focus Enterprise allows Reports to be sent via email to designated recipients. A schedule for the sending of these reports can be set-up enabling them to be emailed at certain times of the week. This functionality is found in the new Files section of the software.

Sample reports can be found in the Tasks folder of the Files section. These are:

• EmailCSV - sends a CSV in email body
• EmailPayrollReport - will send the payroll report. (Of the built-in reports, only the payroll report is accessible from script)
• EmailToManagers - shows system.run in action

Store Daily/Weekly Rule Scripts in a file structure for reuse

Focus Enterprise has the ability to store custom Reports, Scripts and SQL statements. These are all accessed from the new Files section of the software. Very often special scripts are applied to clockings if the requirement is not catered for already within the software.

Therefore, it becomes very useful to be able to store these special scripts for future use.
