The In/Out Board

(All TimePilot 5 help files are available here.)

The In/Out Board in the TimePilot 5 software displays the current status of each employee. This feature is especially helpful to organizations that need to know when an employee is on the job and when they’re not.

Green arrows indicate the employee is currently present. A blank space indicates they are not present (clocked out). A square indicates that they are clocked in but not present, and the color of the square tells you whether they are on holiday time, vacation, taking paid time off, etc.

For a guide to the square colors, click the "Setup" tab along the left side of the screen, then the "Transaction Type" tab that appears at the top of the screen.

As you can see above, the number of Transaction Types available to be assigned to Richard Nixon is fewer than those shown in the "Transaction Type and Accrual Setup" screenshot. That's because the Pay Class assigned to Nixon specifies only seven possible types.

As we get older, time seems to accelerate. Scientists say that’s because we have fewer new experiences, which tend to occupy the brain and give the sense of slowing time. “In my mind there is only one way to slow time: Seek novelty,” says David Eagleman, neuroscientist at Stanford University.

The Sun's light reaches the surface of the Earth about 8 minutes after it has left the surface of the Sun. It takes 3 minutes to reach Mercury and about 4 hours to reach Neptune.
