Filtration

The Filtration tab on the Events form is used to assign a specific event to an EVENT_FILTRATION Employee Group. You can then assign employees to the EVENT_FILTRATION Employee Group using the Employee Group form.

You can also use the Event Filtration form to assign events to an EVENT_FILTRATION Employee Group.

Event filtration is used to control the events which an employee can access. Event filtration may be used in a facility that has many different types of employees recording their time on the same terminals, but not all the employees should have access to the same events.

Event filtration can be inclusive or exclusive, depending on your Event Filtration System Setting.

When Event Filtration is INCLUSIVE, employees have access to the events in their filtration group (the terminal menu includes events in their filtration group).

When Event Filtration is EXCLUSIVE, employees do not have access to the events in their filtration group (the terminal menu excludes the events in their filtration group).

Events that are not assigned to a filtration group can be accessed by employees regardless of the Event Filtration System Setting and whether the employees are assigned to a filtration group.
