Employee details allow you to enter employees' information, specify who they can see within ExakTime Connect and ExakTime Mobile, and what they can do within the system.
Navigating to Employee Details
- Go to Manage and click Employees.
- Click the pencil icon towards the left of an existing employee.
As there are multiple tabs for employee details, we have broken them down for easier reading.
