• Select Add Employee from the context menu. 

3. Enter Employee Information

• A new window will open for entering employee details.
• Select the employee type. Employees can have more than one type; check all that apply (e.g., an employee can be both a mechanic and an operator). Note: Only system role types can be assigned to jobs or quotes. For more information on role types, visit Employee Types and Roles
• Tab through each field to enter the employee's information.

5. Assign Restrictions and Permits

In the tabs at the bottom of the Add/Edit Employee window, use the following options:

• Assign Permits – links required permits to the employee profile

6. Save the Record

Once the required information is filled in, click Save.
After saving, additional fields will become available to enter the employee’s Address and Phone Number(s).
