database is installed (First/Main PC). Ensure no TAS2000 program is running during repair from
any computer.
The system seems to be running slow. What to do?
Run Compact and Repair from TAS2000 program group. Select TASQLDAT.MDB file and click
Compact button. If in multi-user environment, contact your administrator to do this on the
computer where full TAS2000 database is installed. Ensure no TAS2000 program is running
during Compact. You can also select other MDB files and compact them. Compacting reduces
space occupied on hard disk and makes database more efficient.
Though I can see one or two attendance-scans of the day for some employees, yet these employees
are seen in Absentee/ Incomplete list for that day. What to do?
In “Initialize” form (see import above), use “Select a Table or Query” and open the table
ReCalFlag. Go to the required date and change Recal_ORPEPD from “No” to “Yes”.
What to do if someone forgets to mark attendance?
Use Scan Maintenance to add an attendance record for that person.
Can I use my existing attendance reader with TAS2000 software?
Yes. If your reader is not one of currently supported readers, you can either convert your data to
TAS2000 compatible format (available on request) or we can develop interface for your reader.
I am trying to create a new employee but cannot enter in Emp ID field. Why?
It’s because you are not clicking on “Add Record” button first.
Can I “Close A Day” without “completing” the attendance?
Normally you can’t, because if you do, total time worked cannot be calculated by system with just
1, 3 or 5 scans. However in some companies, management is only interested in knowing whether
an employee has come or not. Normal hours, OT hours and all other related information is not of
concern to them. If yours is such a company, you can select this option in configuration.
Obviously all time related information becomes meaningless when this option is used.
What happens when I “Close A Day”?
The “Close A Day” process:
1. Updates certain internal tables, which are used in Monthly Attendance 1 & 2 reports
2. Attempts to correct the ‘Holiday Hours’ given to employees, which depend on whether the
employee was present before and after holidays and weekly off, as well as the option chosen in
configuration.
3. Locks the day so that timekeeper can only enter sick leave data and nothing else.
What happens when I do “End of Month”?
The EOM process:
1. Corrects the ‘Holiday Hours’ given to employees, which depend on whether the employee was
present before and after holidays and weekly off, as well as the option chosen in configuration.
