Data Views


T9 offers you a rich selection of views to display your data. You can filter the data by date, item, and data series, sort it, and display it in several presentations.

 

Data Presentation

You can display data in four presentations: tabular format (Report), graphic format (Chart), various aggregations (Statistics) and by date (Calendar).

 

Select the desired data presentation from the Top Toolbar:

The following selection and filtering of the displayed items and data series are valid for each presentation mode. In addition, specific data management functions for individual presentation modes are displayed in relation to the Report, Chart, Statistics, Calendar presentations.

 

Items Selection:

Selecting the Item

 

You can choose to display the data by Employees, Jobs, Absence Types or Expense Items.

 

  1. Select the desired item type from the Item Selection Toolbar on the left by clicking one of the four buttons at the bottom of the toolbar (Employees, in the example).
  2. When the selected items appear in the expandable list above, expand the desired category.
  3. Click the right arrow next to the desired item in the selected category (  >  ).

 

All the data related to the selected item is displayed in the View Window -- the largest central area of the screen.

 

 

Selecting Multiple Items

 

You can bring several items of the same type into the View Window, but you cannot mix various types of items (for example, Employees and Jobs). In other words, if one or more employees are already in the View Window, you can add more employees. But if you select a job and bring it into the View Window, it will replace the employees.

If you already have one or more items in the View Window, two selection buttons appear next to the items in the toolbar:  >  and  + .

Clicking the  >  button always replaces the current item(s) in the View Window with the selected item(s).

 

Clicking the  +  button adds the selected item(s) to the previous one(s). This button appears only if the items in the View Window and in the Item Selection Toolbar are of the same type, and only next to items that are not already in the View Window.

 

You can select several items (by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking), all the items in a category, or all the items in the database to add them to the current selection in the View Window.

Back and Forward buttons

If you add/replace items to and from the view, you can use the (Back) and (Forward) buttons to call up the previous or the next item selections.

 


Period Selection:

Use the efficient date filter to narrow the dates for which T9 displays data within report , chart, statistics views.

Clicking on the down arrow displays a list of the most common preset date ranges.

 

You can select the desired range with one click. Alternatively, you can enter an arbitrary range of dates into the filter by clicking on the displayed date.

When the From... To... window appears, click the down arrow next to the From... and To... fields and select the desired dates from the calendar that appears.


Data Series Selection

 

Use the buttons in the Series Selection Toolbar to select which data series to display in the View Window.

Each item is associated with one or more data series.

 

  • Employees are associated with Attendance (hours and $), Absences and Expenses.
  • Jobs are associated with Attendance (hours and $).
  • Absence Types are associated with Absences
  • Expenses Items are associated with Expenses

 

In the case of Employees and Jobs, when more than one data series is associated with each item, you can choose which data series to display.
