The Employee Group window accessed by clicking on "New" button located at the bottom of the Employee Groups list is used to define employee groups. The fields and functions of the Employee Group window are:
Code: The code of the employee group. Code information is the most basic information allowing the employee groups to be used rapidly and accurately in operations such as searching, sorting, and selection, grouping and reporting. Therefore, the code field is mandatory.
In the LOGO application, the analyses planned for the employee groups must be carefully considered when specifying the codes due to the usage characteristics of the code field. An information infrastructure allowing multi-dimensional analyses can be established if each character or character group of the code contains classification information.
Description: The name or the description of the employee group. Although the employee group description field is an important field, it is not mandatory.
Since search and sorting operations can be made by description in the LOGO application, the employee groups are also sorted by description.
The information in the Employee Group window is displayed in the following tabs:
- General Info
- Group Members
General Info
Common characteristics of the employee group are recorded on the general info tab of the Employee Group window.
Aux. Code: The aux. code of the employee group. The string is 10 characters long. Alphanumeric characters can be used for coding. The code allows the user to classify the employee groups by company specific criteria.
Authorization Code: The authorization code of the employee group. Up to 10 alphanumeric characters can be used for coding. Each user may be authorized to access different records depending on job definitions. Used to define detailed authorizations.
Status: Indicates the usage status of the employee group. The status field has two options: Active and Passive. Definitions selected as passive on this field are not displayed on the employee groups list accessed through operation definitions. Therefore, group definitions with passive status cannot be used in operations.

The members of the employee group are recorded on the group members tab of the Employee Group window.
