AttendView Description
------------------------------------------------------------
AttendView(tm) will track the hours your employee's spend on the job.  You can use your existing PCs as timeclocks.  View realtime employee status including who's in or out, hours worked, and any messages left by employees.  AttendView supports operation on multiple computers on a network.  Features include generation of various time reports, editing of the clock in/out data and exporting of the clock data.  AttendView can be configured to get the time from any computer on the network to keep the time synchronized and to deter employees from cheating the timeclock.  Optionally a bar code reader or magnetic stripe reader can be used for clocking in and out.


New in Version 3.61
------------------------------------------------------------
Correction to the Job Column of the Detailed reports and to Detailed Job reports for a specific employee.

Improved the error handling of AttendView Clock in the event of Network loss.

The option to select the department was added to the Select Job dialog.



New Features in Version 3.5
------------------------------------------------------------
Complete compatibility with Access.
All of the data is stored in an MS Access format database (compatible with Access XP, 2000 and 97).  Access users can also change the database password using Access if desired.

Flexible new clock in/out policies added.
A snap in policy allows an employee to clock in early but not be on the clock until the scheduled start time.  With the auto-lunch policy a lunch break can be automatically applied per the employee's schedule when clocking out at the end of the shift.  Each policy can be applied to an employee, department or entire company.

The time is now displayed in hours and minutes.
This applies to reports, AV Clock and the clock data editor.  Most users had expressed that hours and minutes format was preferred over fractional hours.

The clock data editor is updated.
The clock data editor now includes more information including: the actual clock in/out time (before any policies or manual editing), the policy that was automatically applied (if any), the paid break/non-paid break status and more.  The editor is now  resizable and uses alternating colors so data from different days are easily differentiated.

International time and date settings are supported.
AttendView 3.5 uses the computers time and date settings for displaying time and date values.

The Detailed Report includes messages left by employees.
Messages that employees leave using AV Clock are recorded in the database with the clock data.  They can be seen in the Clock Data Editor and are in the detailed time report.
