THE MAIN WINDOW - EMPLOYEES TAB

The Employees tab is where the list of employees can be found. It consists of:

a grid view which lists all of the employees
a search bar at the top of the list view - this search bar operated the same is the search bar on the Catalogue tab - see Searching for a Catalogue Item for further details.
an area beneath the grid view containing a number of buttons to perform various actions

The button bar at the bottom changes depending on which role is currently active (Standalone Edition only) - see Changing Roles for further details on roles. The Employees tab is not visible at all when operating under the Catalogue Browser role. When running the Database Edition, the visibility of the Employees tab is dependant on the settings in User Security.

Here is an example of the Employees tab when all features are available:
