In addition to adding the new employee, remember to remove the store(s) from the old / terminated employee. Find all previously launched assignments under Schedule > Detail and update them to the new employee. Be sure to expand the dates to find all possible assignments. Run a schedule detail report (Reports > Scheduling > Schedule Detail) for the new and old employee to make sure all assignments have been changed correctly. Merchandiser is going on vacation or calls in sick. 1. 2. Run a schedule detail report (Reports > Scheduling > Schedule Detail) to find the Schedule ID numbers that need to be changed. OR Go to Schedule > Detail and use the filters to sort to either the employee going on vacation, or the stores that need to be covered. Once you have drilled to the specific assignments, use the edit pencil to navigate to the assignment detail window. Change the employee under the provided drop down menu and then hit the Update button. Multiple merchandisers attached to a single store 1. 2. 3. First, identify the stores where you have multiple employees working assignments. All assignments for a location will be given to the merchandiser attached to the store (you CAN’T have more than one attached to a store). Run a schedule detail report for those stores and find the assignments Answering the Payroll Approval Survey 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. You will do this within Mobile Tracker Go to WorkDay Click on Unscheduled Visits Under the Admin chain, add the “Admin Payroll” store to the plan Work the plan...be sure to enter in any time so that you can submit a survey. Fill out the survey. Submit your work. I Need To Move Either A Store Or A Merchandiser Between Sales Areas. 1. 2. To move a merchandiser...contact your HR rep. They are the only ones that can move merchandisers between sales areas. If you need to move stores from one sales area to another, please contact the DM over the areas to have that done. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 4 basic navigation File Maintenance > Employee > Employee File Maintenance > Stores > Stores Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 5 Schedule > Detail Schedule > Detail > Edit Assignment Window Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 6 Reports > Scheduling > Schedule Detail Main Menu > Payroll Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 7 assignment to stores - employee method First...be sure you are logged into 1300...it is the “live” environment and where field changes should be made. This method is best used when you have to add/remove MANY stores from a merchandiser. If you are only doing a few stores, then the “store method may be better suited for your needs. Second...there are two things you need to do in order to have a store & merchandiser set and getting the correct scheduled assignments. 1. Assign them permanently to the store through File Maintenance > Employees > Employees (described in this section). This will take care of them for all FUTURE assignments...any project that gets launched (magazines, books, etc) after assigning them to the store will go to that merchandisers. This does NOT assign them to any assignments that are in the system prior to you assigning them to the store. 2. Find all previously launched assignments (see section on Schedule Detail) and assign them to those individual visits. It is only through those two steps that will assure that your merchandiser is set for both current assignments and anything that gets launched in the future. With that said...let’s get started: 1. Under File Maintenance, click the Employee folder and then Employees 2. Use the filters to narrow down your selection (optional). 3. Click the “Find Now” button to show your data. If no filters are set, you will see all employees. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 8 4. Under the employee you would like to edit...click the store number. 5. Use the filters to pull down the region, branch and sales area. If you are a district supervisor, you will only see one choice under each menu. 6. Click “Find” 7. Available stores are sorted in ascending order by store number. Choose the stores you would like to assign to the merchandiser from this list and use the green arrow to move them over to the “Assigned Stores” column. You will also use this to remove stores from a merchandiser. 8. Although you can’t see it in the image...hit the “Save” button to make the changes permanent. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 9 assignment to stores - store method There are a few reasons why you would want to make store / merchandiser assignment via File Maintenance > Stores > Stores: 1. You are only switching a few stores. This will allow you to pull off the old merchandiser at the same time you are assigning the new one. 2. You want to make sure that only one merchandiser is attached to the store. NOTE - MULTIPLE MERCHANDISERS: Keep in mind that only one merchandiser can be attached to a store and that person will receive ALL assignments for that store. If you have multiple merchandisers going to this store...you will have to find the “extra” assignments under the merchandiser attached to the store and reassign them to the correct employee under Schedule > Detail. 1. Select the “Stores” menu option. File Maintenance > Stores > Stores 2. Use the filters to drill down to specific stores. If that is not needed, then leave the filters blank to see all stores. 3. Click the “Find Now” button. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 10 4. Click the link under the Employee column of the store assignment you would like to change. 5. Use the filters to pull down the region, branch and sales area. If you are a district supervisor, you will only see one choice under each menu. 6. Click “Find” 7. Available employees are sorted in alphabetical order by last name. Choose the employee you would like to assign to the store from this list and use the green arrow to move them over to the “Assigned Employee” column. You will also use this to remove the “old” merchandiser from the store. 8. Hit the “Save” button to make the changes permanent. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 11 changing individual assignments Please keep in mind...whatever changes you make under schedule detail will NOT change the permanent assignment to a store. You would use this to help you where you need to: cover a vacation, someone calls in sick, assigning a visit to yourself, etc. 1. Click Schedule > Detail from the side menu. 2. Use the filters to drill to visits you would like to edit. Important filters to keep in mind here are: Dates - If you are finding assignments for an employee you just attached to a store under File Maintenance...then push the end date way out in the future so you can be sure to see ALL assignments that were previously launched. Store Number & Chain Name - If you want to see and change scheduled visits for an individual store...use these filters. Schedule IDs - These are the numbers that are assigned to each scheduled visit. You might get these numbers after hitting the “Find Now” button (3) or from a schedule detail report. 3. Click the “Find Now” button after you have selected the correct filters. 4. Click on the pencil symbol to edit an individual visit. Also be aware of the “Completed” column. Yes means that the visit has been done; No means that the visit is not done and is on that employees schedule within Mobile Tracker. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 12 5. Once you have clicked on the assignment you would like to edit...you will be taken to a screen that will allow you to change the employee attached to this single assignment. Use the employee drop down menu to choose the correct merchandiser. 6. Click the “Update” button to change the assignment...this is one step that folks sometimes forget. You will see a pop up window showing that the update was successful...but be patient, it might take a second or two for it to show. Once updated, the merchandiser should be able to see the change in his / her Mobile Tracker schedule. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 13 running a schedule detail report The schedule detail report will be your one-stop report for execution in your area. The date you choose within the filter will tell you different things: 1. Running the report with last week’s dates will show you which visits where done and those not done. 2. Running the report with next week’s dates will show you who is attached to each visit...and also those that are currently unassigned. 3. Running for the current week will give you a real-time update for the current week...showing what is done...also what is still unassigned. To run the report... 1. Choose Reports > Scheduling > Schedule Detail under the menus to the left. 2. Select the desired date range. 3. Click how you would like to view the report from the drop down provided and hit the “View” button. More times than not, you will want to go directly into Excel. If you are going into Excel...after a few moments (be patient)...you will get the dialogue box below asking if you want to open or save the file. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 14 4. Once the report opens you will need to click the “Enable Editing” button (security feature) in order to manipulate the spreadsheet. IMPORTANT COLUMN ALERT: Column A will show you the individual assignment numbers or Schedule IDs. You will use this number to help you move assignments. 5. To prepare the document for efficient viewing, highlight the first row (where you column headers reside) and go to Data > Filter to turn on the column filters. Then, to keep the column headers visible, go to View > Freeze Panes > Freeze Top Row. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 15 6. The important columns within this report are: Employees: Sort this column in ascending order to allow the rows to group by employee. Any cell that is blank means the scheduled visit has no one attached to it and will not show up on anyone’s schedule. Completed: Yes = both time and survey were completed. No = either it was not done...OR...time was entered and the merchandiser skipped the survey. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 16 covering a vacation / sick day Happens all the time...someone calls in sick...or a vacation pops up that needs to be covered...what do you do? The Schedule > Detail section is where you will go to cover moving individual assignments around. 1. Set the filters to find the assignments that need to be updated. Find them in the schedule detail report (column A). Example: If you are trying to cover a vacation for next week...run a schedule detail report for that week...sort to the employee...then grab those schedule IDs and enter them in the filter called out in the image below. If you are just trying to cover a single store...then use the date & store info filters to drill to assignments for that store. Example: Merchandiser calls in sick for Walmart #1234 for a Thursday Full Service. Set the store number filter to 1234...the chain to “Walmart (140)” and select the appropriate date range. This should allow you to drill to needed scheduled assignment. 2. Once you have set the filters correctly, hit the “Find Now” button. 3. Find the scheduled visit you would like to change and click the pencil to edit. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 17 4. The next window will allow you to pick the employee you would like to cover this individual visit (note the ID number just above the employee drop down). Select the appropriate employee. 5. Click the “Update” button. 6. A window will pop up once the scheduled visit has been updated. If you either look back in Schedule > Detail...or run a schedule detail report...you will find that the merchandiser assignment has been updated. NOTE: This only affects the individual assignment...not who is permanently attached to the store. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 18 scheduled assignments: changing status You may run into a situation where you need to change the status of an individual assignment. A “Yes” means that the assignment has been completed and is off of the merchandiser’s schedule. A “No” means it is not done and still shows up on their schedule. Some possible reasons for changing these items include: Merchandiser reported to the a scheduled assignment for a future week. In this case, the merchandiser will still get paid...nothing you do here will change that.... you will want to put the future visit back on their schedule and take off the current week’s assignment (that was entered in already by the merch...just under the wrong week). If a visit was missed and will not be made up. The missed visit will fall off of their schedule 7 days after the visit’s end date. To help clean things up...you can pull it off their schedule by changing the status from a “No” to a “Yes”. 1. Use the filters to find the assignments you need to change. You could get them from a schedule detail report...or by setting the filters (date & store) to show what is needed. 2. Click the “Find Now” button. 3. Click on the link in the “Completed” column to change the status from either No to Yes or a Yes to a No. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 19 4. Change the status in the area that displays near the bottom of the window. Note that this will affect ONLY the individual assignment shown (C). A. Mark All Schedules Complete: This will change any assignments that are showing as not complete...to complete. To say it another way...the schedule visit will be removed from the merchandiser’s schedule in Mobile Tracker. B. Mark All Schedules Incomplete: This will change any assignments that are showing as complete...to incomplete. To say it another way...the scheduled visit will “reappear” on the merchandiser’s schedule in Mobile Tracker. 5. Click the “Submit” button to update the assignment. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 20 payroll verification report All supervisors managing hourly employees are required to verify and approve payroll each and every pay period. It is vital to the fiscal well being of our organization that all time is accurate and within posted guidelines for each project. If you spot an incorrect or questionable reported time, please send an email to the merchandiser involved (cc’ing your supervisor) to verify the time entered is valid. If the time entered needs to be changed, make sure you document such changes with the merchandiser involved. If the merchandiser reports that the time is valid...yet it still falls outside of acceptable limits for the activity...we must pay the amount...but further action may be needed to assure that the merchandiser is in line with posted guidelines moving forward. 1. Sign in to CRC and proceed to Reports > Payroll > SI Payroll Verification. Source Interlink BizTracker Manual Page 21 2. Then select any date within the pay period.
