The actual scope of functions available to employees, group managers or department heads is defined by means of individual roles and rights. – Evacuation report In the event of an emergency (e. g. fire), the Evacuation report provides a list of all employees showing who is still inside the building and who is already safe. – Team bookings Group managers can make team bookings valid for several employees allowing for quick and precise project, order or activity-based time recording. The benefits are clear: booking for all made by one, no more missed bookings and simultaneous start of work of all team members.
