Softpedia Editor's Review for ClockIt: Easy Schedule Creator
|
A schedule maker that allows you to easily create work schedules for your employees
Written by Elena Opris on March 2nd, 2012
ClockIt: Easy Schedule Creator is an application with a pretty self-explanatory title - it allows you to create a schedule. The tool is ideal for employers.
The interface of the program is plain and simple. You can create a new project from a template or wizard.
In the ClockIt wizard you can set up the schedule range, define holiday and region settings, and add employees (you can also import them from a Vcard).
But you can also create shifts and adjust the color settings for holidays and weekends.
In addition, you can edit the employee field (e.g. work arrangement, availability, assignable shifts, extra), set up attendance types, create shift groups and select background colors for various query reports.
Furthermore, you can configure auto scheduling department options, specify the minimum and maximum occurrence per function and shift per day, find assigned employees, manage availability exceptions, as well as view a custom query, shifts/days summary and worked hours.
Moreover, you can enable automatic backups, export a ClockIt file to the HTML, Excel, Word or XML format, use the "undo", "redo" and search functions, copy and paste comments, and others.
The program takes up a low-to-moderate amount of system resources and includes a well-drawn help file with snapshots. We haven't encountered any kind of problems during our tests.
Except for the interface which could use some minor improvements, we strongly recommend ClockIt: Easy Schedule Creator to all users.
