Understanding Menu

You can use the OfficeTimer left side menu bar at the left of the page and top menus to navigate through the application based on the type of work you are doing. Each item is only available to a user if they have been given access to the features within that menu, based on their role-based permissions.

Contact your system administrator if you do not know your organization’s OfficeTimer URL. This URL is dependent upon your server type and name, and the server’s port number.

Those using the ASP (hosted) implementation can access OfficeTimer through the Employee Login section of http://www.officetimer.com.

To ensure full functionality of the application, you should allow pop-ups for the OfficeTimer website.
