8. Manager Use

For organisations with an Advanced or Enterprise NoahFace subscription, managers can view and manage employees and visitors. This can be used for:

Managing Employees

Managers are able to:

  • View the list of employees (and visitors) that are currently clocked in.
  • Identify employees that may be fatigued. Employees are ordered by the time they have been working, and any employees that have been working for more than 12 hours will be highlighted in red.
  • Manually clock employees in or out that have forgotten to do so.
  • View the recent events recorded for all employees (and visitors).

For example, set your Screen details as follows:

in=Start Shift:list:Work Type:Design;Maintenance;Construction, out=End Shift

NB: Clocking events generated by Managers will be recorded against your mobile Access Point / Site. If it is important to record events against specific sites, you should consider either creating multiple Access Points (one per site), or capturing sites automatically using geolocations.

Managing Evacuations

In the event of an evacuation, at the muster point site supervisors are able to:

  • View the list of employees and visitors that are on site.
  • Perform a roll call and tick everyone off one by one.
  • Optionally sign everyone out (by pressing the out button on the toolbar).
  • Initiate a phone call to anyone who cannot be located (by long-pressing on the employee or visitor).

Managing Work Crews

Team leaders of work crews are able to:

  • Manage the list of workers assigned to their team each day:
    • To add team members, select one or more users from the “In” or “Out” tab, and press the add button.
    • To remove team members, select one or more users from the “Team” tab, and press the remove button.
  • Clock in and out individual workers (by swiping right or left), multiple workers (by tagging workers and then pressing the in or out button), or their entire team in a single action (by simply pressing the in or out button).
  • Assign work types and/or record piecework data during clocking.

To enable the team leader functionality, enter "team=true” in your Access Point Type Screen details . The “Team” tab will become visible in NoahFace Go, as well as the add and remove buttons in the toolbar. For example:

team=true, in=Start Work:list:Crop:Avocados;Bananas;Dragonfruit;Mangos

Notifications

Managers can automatically receive notifications when employees and/or visitors are clocked in for too long:

This is useful for fatigue monitoring and to proactively deal with employees and/or visitors that forget to clock out.

NoahFace Go evaluates employees and visitors in the background to determine if they have been clocked in for too long (currently this is hard coded to 12 hours). To receive notifications, NoahFace Go must be left running in the background.

iOS:

Managers using the NoahFace Go App on iOS need to consider:

  • To evaluate notifications, NoahFace Go requires iOS App permissions for:
    • Background App Refresh.
  • To deliver notifications, NoahFace Go requires iOS App permissions for:
    • Notifications.
  • iOS permissions can be edited using the iOS Settings App.
  • Apple keeps the algorithm used to schedule background activities secret, however, the more you use an App, the more frequently the background activities will be scheduled.
  • IOS background activities are scheduled no more frequently than at 15 minute intervals, so the delivery of notifications will never be more frequent than this.

Android:

Managers using the NoahFace Go App on Android need to consider:

  • Android background activities are scheduled no more frequently than at 15 minute intervals, so the delivery of notifications will never be more frequent than this.
