Workgroups Tabs


The tabs that appear in the Workgroups form can be used to input as much contact information as the User desires.

If a tab is marked as having a Required field, open that tab enter information in the field.

Once all required fields have been filled, click the image-20240614-171129.png button at the bottom of the Workgroups form. The new Workgroups appears on the Workgroups Grid and elsewhere in the application when a User is prompted to define a Workgroups.

Workers & Rates tab

Of course, the key components of any Workgroup are the employees with which it is associated. To add members to the new Workgroup, use the tab labeled Workers & Rates.

To add a new Workgroup member, click the Add button immediately above the Grid displayed in the Workers & Rates tab.

In the Add New Worker form, the User is first prompted to select a Worker from the Workers/Contacts drop-down list. The User must then define the Worker's 'Hourly Rates'. Once all defined fields have been satisfied, click Save New button at the bottom of the form. The new Worker appears on the Grid displayed in the Workers & Rates tab of the Workgroup data entry form.

Note: All Contacts added as a Worker to a Workgroup are automatically given the 'Worker' contact type, assuming that the Contact does not already have the 'Worker' type.

Users can add as many Workers to a Workgroup as desired.

Once all required fields in the Workgroup data entry form have been satisfied, click the Save New button at the bottom of the form. The new Workgroup appears on the original Workgroups Grid.

Workers and Rates

The 'Workers & Rates' tab will associate a Worker with a Workgroup and define their 'Hourly Rate' for billing purposes. The 'Hourly Rate' here is what the organization will charge for the Worker's labor, not necessarily what the Worker makes. The association will also show up in the Worker Workgroup tab.

  1. Click the image-20240614-172607.png  button.

  2. This will open the 'Add New Worker Rates' form.

Escalation Sequence

The 'Escalation Sequence' tab will set a list of people to be notified via ''Escalations and Notifications'' in the event a given Escalation is not completed in the time frame specified on the Escalation/Notification by member Workers of the Workgroup. The Contact with the lowest 'Sequence #' will be notified first, progressing sequentially to the Contact with the highest Sequence #.

PCR recommends spacing Sequence # by tens (10, 20, 30) to make it easy to add Contacts to the Sequence in the future should that be desired. Any Contacts with an identical Sequence # would be notified at the same time. A good example would be to make the Workers of the Workgroup the first people notified of incomplete tasks by the Workgroup as a reminder. The next person(s) in the sequence might be a supervisor or manager. These rules would be set by the organizations desired business practices.

  1. Click the image-20240614-171643.png button.

  2. The 'Add New Worker Escalation Sequence' form will open.

  4. Click the image-20240614-171508.png  button.

  5. Close the form.

The Contact and Sequence # will be added to the grid. Set up the appropriate ''Escalations and Notifications''.
