Quickly enter variables for multiple employees

When you open an employee's record and access his or her Variables window, you will only see those for the employee in question. In practice, you may want to enter variables for all employees, or for selected employees, in a more efficient and faster way.

To do this, from the main Employees file window, select or activate the desired employee records, and use the Variables by employee command in the Action menu, or the Variables by employee button at the bottom of the window.

You'll get the usual variable entry window, but you can use the Next and Previous buttons at the bottom of the window to move quickly from one employee to another. The title bar of the window reminds you of the Last Name, First Name and Code of the employee for whom you are entering variables.

The PRO version provides direct access to the Variables file, via the Data menu. It is therefore perfectly possible to enter variables directly, using the Add command in the Action menu or button bar. However, in the first of a series of records created in this way, you must also specify the Code of the employee concerned. You can choose either of these two input methods.
