HRtrax-Web History & Calendar
HRtrax History and Calendar components provide you with a view of past and future transactions within a single employee database.  History records are built with each transaction and allow you to view point-in-time history for any employee record.  In addition, the history stack provides a quick summary of an employee's status and placement records in reverse chronological order.  HRtrax keeps a detailed audit trail of every employee transaction which may be viewed or reported for easy reference.  At the other end of the time-line are those events that are scheduled to happen in the future.  For these events the Calendar component can be used to pre-enter any number of future events with control over effective dates and data content.  This can help add flexibility to your work schedule by allowing you to complete some tasks at a more convenient time.  These features make your human resource system more powerful by accumulating information from different points in time into a single system for easy and consistent reference.

 
History Views
HRtrax automatically builds point-in-time history records for all critical employee events. These history records are represented as companion entries to the employee's current record and can often be viewed using the same screens for display.  While in history display mode, standard navigation methods allow you to page backward and forward through time.  The amount of history that can be maintained within HRtrax is limited only be the amount disk space available on the shared network - which in today's environment effectively means there are no practical limits on the amount of history you can maintain.

 
History Stack
In addition to the basic History Display, HRtrax also maintains a linear History Stack that contains a quick display summary of changes made for a single employee on two easy to read tabbed displays.  This history stack allows you to review critical events by date, and allows for drilling back through time.  Rather than thumbing through seemingly endless piles of paper records, your entire employee history is simply a mouse click away.  We believe this is the fastest way to reference Historical information for your employee records.

 
Audit Records
In addition to standard history records, HRtrax keeps a complete audit trail of each employee transaction made within the system.  These audit records capture the time, date, and user id, as well as the old and new values of each data element that was added or updated.  Detailed audit reports allow you to list these transactions by user id, location, transaction date, or employee id.  Additional selections are offered to narrow or refine the listing even further.

 
Calendar Events
Calendar events give you a tremendous amount of flexibility and control over when an employee related addition or change will be applied.  You may schedule a future transaction for employee masters, benefits, earnings/deductions, or LOA/Termination.  In addition, you can change the same field for the same employee, even more than once - simply use a different apply date. There is no practical limit on the number of additions or changes you may have calendared and scheduled to apply in the future.

 
Calendar Review
Review pending calendar events at any time by running the calendar events report function.  This report displays all calendar events by employee for any date range you desire.  Or, use the calendar events entry screen to view scheduled events one-by-one for a specific employee.  Add, edit or delete events altogether when necessary.  With HRtrax you have the tools you need to better manage employee related future events.

 
Agent Functions
As a compliment to Calendar Events, Agent Functions may be setup to seek out certain future events to occur within the HRtrax system.  When setup, the Agent will notify the user that an event will occur in the near future so they can evaluate the current situation and take the appropriate action.  These notifications become an important tool in helping you stay informed about upcoming events such as expirations or due dates.   For example, you can setup an Agent to notify you 20 days in advance of an employee's license expiration, or 10 days in advance of their annual review, etc...
