2.1 Counters

Info
Counters
Counters are typically the means to keep track of events that have occurred. Counters generate their counts according to the rules or conditions set (explained later). A common counter is a Shift Count which is required by some payroll systems for annual bonuses etc. A counter can also be configured to count the number of times an employee was late throughout the year, or how many manual adjustments were made in a period.

Click on ‘Setup’ then ‘Counters’ from the menu bar to manage the counters.


You can include any Counter in the Annual Overview, shown in the user manual, by selecting the ‘Use in Overview’ option. If this option is selected further options to set the Back Colour and Fore Colour in the Annual Overview become available.

The ‘Copy to Time’ button can be used to create a Time Category named like the selected Counter.

Selecting ‘Include in Event Comments’ will allow the counter to be reported on using the Event Name option in Reports (see User manual for more on Reports).


This option allows using a single column to report all types of counters with a text description, rather than individual counters requiring individual columns that display a 1.

Report example using individual columns:
