The long awaited group manager feature has arrived!  This feature allows for the assignment of users as group managers to certain groups.  This basically lets you assign a user to have admin rights over a group of employees.  This is important for organizations that have different departments and department managers.

How To

It’s easy to assign an employee as a group manager.  Here’s how:

1. From your TSheets admin account, click the “Manage Employees” menu item
2. In the bottom area of the “Manage Employees” window, click the “Manage Groups” link
3. The red “Manage Group” tool appears.  If you have groups already, you’ll notice three icons to the right of the group name.  They perform the following functions (in order): Assign Managers, Rename Group and Delete Group.  Click the first one (Assign Managers).
   
   
4. An area should appear that allows you to assign employees as managers.  Just start typing their name and the box should auto complete.  Select their name and then press the green plus next to the input box.
   
5. Assigned managers show up below with a red minus button to the left.  This button allows you to un-assign users as managers of that group.
6. That’s it. Once a group manager logs in, they will essentially have admin rights over the users that are members of the managed group.

This is a powerful new feature that is flexible enough to allow TSheets to accommodate businesses who rely on department or group managers to function.

This feature is included in our Business and Platinum accounts at no additional cost.
