Personnel Tracker was designed with the new user in mind.
It contains a built-in help system that should answer most
of the questions you may have as you are using it.
The main purpose of Personnel Tracker is to keep a Multi-Year
record of each employees basic information such as, Name,
Address, Phone, Etc.. and also, Evaluation reports, Sick Leave
( used and earned ), Vacation Time (Used and Earned), and
Compensation Time (Used and earned).
It contains a Memo Box that you may pop-up from any screen,
while adding or modifing an employees record,(Great for keeping
track of SL, VAC, or Comp Time Dates). A HardDisk is recommended
as well as 512K of memory.
TRACKER now has a full screen browser so you can easily find the
record you are looking for. Horizontal as well as Vertical scrolling
is supported. Simply press the left or right arrow keys to view the
rest of the record.
TRACKER is FULLY operational as you received it. The main reason
to register it is to ensure future releases, enhancements and to
keep Shareware alive!

SUMMARY OF COMMANDS
ADD
Selecting ADD on the main menu will put you in Add Mode.
From Add Mode you can enter the data and save it when finished.
To save the data press [^ENTER]. This means hold down the CONTROL
key and press ENTER. The Add Mode is used for initializing a record
to the database. Any future changes to the record would be
accomplished by choosing MODIFY from the Main Menu.
BROWSE
Once you have selected a record by using the full screen BROWSER or
by selecting SEARCH from the Main Menu, Browse-Current will allow
you to view an entire record including the notes. Press the F10 key to
view the notes field. No changes can be made to a record while you
are in the Browse Mode. The record is protected from any accidental
changes while viewing the record.
DELETE
Once you have selected a record by using SEARCH from the
Main Menu, Delete will allow you to remove the displayed
record from the database. Once you have selected Delete,
a window will appear and will give you a chance to change your mind
prior to deleting the record. The window is set to default to
NO to prevent accidental deletion of a record. CAUTION once a record
is deleted it can't be recovered.
MODIFY
Once you have selected a record by using SEARCH from the
Main Menu, Modify will allow you to alter or add to an
existing record. This is the only mode where revisions can be
made to an existing record.
Once the revisions are made, pressing [^ENTER] (This is done by
holding down the CONTROL key and pressing the ENTER key at the
same time) will save the record and any changes made.
SEARCH
When you select Search from the Main Menu, a window will
appear and ask for three search criterias, Last Name, First
Name, and Record Year. When at all possible you should enter
a response to all three. However, if you only have partial
information to go by, Search will attempt to find a match
based on the information given.
Record Year will default to the current year if left blank.
Therefore, when searching previous year records, it is important
to understand that if the record does not exist in the year
entered, it may very well exist under a different Record Year.
Search is also used in conjunction with BROWSE,DELETE,
MODIFY, and UPDATE. Each of these selections require you
to Search a record prior to the use of these procedures.
UPDATE
Once you have selected a record using SEARCH,Update will
advance all vital information to a new Record Year and create
a new record. The old record will remain intact and a new record
will be created including in it all information on the Main
Screen and advancing all balances in the Vacation, Sick
Leave, and Compensation screens.
Update will save you the work of transferring all the data
from the previous year in order to begin a new Record Year.
This feature will also allow you to accumulate a multi-year
database for future reference.
Once you select Update from the Main Menu a window will
appear asking for the Record Year. Enter the new record
year and press ENTER, the record will be updated and added to
the database.
PRINT
Selecting Print on the Main Menu will give you three
choices of reports to print. Print A Record, Print A
Roster, and All Records.
The first choice Print A Record, will print a single record
of your choosing.
The second choice Print A Roster, will print an alphabetical
listing of all records in a particular record year.
The third choice All Records, will print out all records for
a particular record year, using the same format used when
selecting Print A Record.
MAIN SCREEN
Most of features of the Main Screen need no explanation.
However, it should be pointed out that the Record Year field
will default to the current year unless otherwise entered.
EVALUATION SCREEN
The Evaluation Screen needs little explanation. The fields are
for entering any information you wish concerning an evaluation

and the month in which it was used.
The third area, Vacation Remaining, is a calculated field,
that calculates all vacation earned and subtracts all vacation
used to arrive at a total available vacation time. This total
is the figure advanced when using UPDATE for a new record
year.
The fourth area, Employee Name, simply advises you the name
of the record being viewed.
The fifth area, Record Year, shows the record year being
viewed.

of the record being viewed.

of the record being viewed.
The fifth area, Record Year, shows the record year being
viewed.
MEMO
Memo is the area of the record in which you can enter any
information of your choosing. It can consist of dates of
vacations, or just a note for future reference.
Notes can be added while in either of two modes, ADD or
MODIFY. From either of these modes, you can enter notes by
pressing F10. After pressing F10 a Notes screen will
appear for you to enter your data. Each record is limited to
approximately one screen of notes. A status line at the bottom
of the MEMO box lets you know when the Buffer is full. To exit
the MEMO box simply press ESC. You will be returned to the field
that you were on prior to adding notes.
