7.9 Counters

Counters

Counters are used to track the number of occurrences of events matching certain conditions. The most popular counter configured is the Shift Count, as seen in the screenshot below. The Shift Count will only be incremented if the employee works more than the minimum number of hours specified for the day. Day counters are optional to implement and multiple counters can be incremented per Day Program. Counters can be incorporated in formulas, reports, and file exported to Third-Party System.
