If your name is not in view on the screen, you can scroll to it by clicking on your name which is displayed in the top menu bar. Click in the Remarks field beside your name and select one of the remarks from the pop-up list which appears. Your remark will update along with the background color.
The top menu bar on the main window displays the words "In" or "Out" which you can click on to change your status between "In" and "Out". As well, when the main screen is hidden by other programs, a right click on the OfficeView Pro tray icon brings up a menu with several handy features, including the possibility to quickly select "In" or "Out".
If the "Change others' remarks" option is enabled, you can change any other person's remarks.
Remarks can contain active fields that prompt for certain information or automatically enter information such as the time, date or day. A smart field that has the word "time" in upper or lowercase within {} brackets will automatically insert the current time when selected. For instance, if you select the remark "Left at {current time}", it could display as "Left at 4:22:55 PM".
Normally, your administrator will select the background colors. However, if the "Change remarks background colors" option is enabled, you can assign one of several background colors yourself. To change the color of your remarks, click on the desired color from the sample boxes on the right side of the window. Your selected color will appear as the background color on all remarks in the list. To restore your remarks to the original colors, click on the box containing the "X".
You can override the standard background colors using the Options menu. Select the Colors tab to view the current background colors. Click on a color panel to display a dialog box that allows you to assign a new color to it.
There are several options relating to the Remarks field in the Selecting Options section of this Help file.
The Remarks field can contain up to 40 characters. If you wish to leave more lengthy comments, you can include additional information in your Employee Information screen.
