Groups

Groups are defined for easy operations with employees, schemes of authorization or absences. There are two types of groups that can be defined in Astrow Web: absence groups and employees groups.

Absence groups are useful for easy assignment when linked with employees, rather than individual assignment of absences.

For further information, please see Absences and Absences Authorization Levels Assignments to Individual Employees.

Employee groups correspond to work teams or projects. They are used in team views and time and attendance management operations. They can be also linked to other employee definitions.

Please note that departments are different than groups. If you don't need to have a differentiation between them, you can anytime import the departments in groups (see Employee groups - Add, Edit and Delete an Employee Group). Groups are used in all linked definitions, while departments are only for visualization.

In the next chapters you can find a description about the groups definitions in Astrow Web. Use the link below for further explanations.
