Tracking Your Employees
Employee Security and Exceptions Tracking
Cash Register Express can be configured in a flexible fashion, allowing you to define which employees
can access which functions inside of the system. It is important to understand and properly configure
the permissions to ensure employees only have access to the appropriate functionality.
Security is a priority within Cash Register Express. The Employee
Maintenance screen has dozens of permissions which can be set
individually for each employee. Permissions can determine what
that employee is allowed to do or what they are restricted from
doing. Most of the permissions have four settings:
 Yes allows the use of a function.
 No restricts the selected function.
 Prompt asks for manager’s permission to use the selected
function.
 Override makes the selected employee a manager for the
selected function, meaning they can access the function
and also give an employee with the Prompt setting
permission to use this function.
The Exceptions Tracking features of CRE provide a great way to identify and track suspect activity. If
you log a certain activity as an exception (ex: Cashier 01 ringing in a discount or Cashier 03 opening the
cash drawer for change), CRE will record these instances in Exceptions Logs for later viewing. Even
though many of these functions are already recorded for all employees, this will provide you with a list
of functions and employees you would like to specifically watch.
Exceptions Tracking is a great analytical tool that will provide you with specific lists of activity you
define as suspect without having to wade through pages of information. You can view the results in
the Operational Exceptions and Invoice Exceptions reports, viewable in the Sales tab of the Reporting
Screen.
Configuring Exceptions Tracking is easy; simply check the Log as Exception check
box for each permission and employee combination that you wish to watch. This
setting is configured individually for each employee and permission to provide
maximum flexibility.
