Accumulators (Payroll Tab)

Save - Clicking this button saves all pending table changes to the program database. If a row is currently being edited, the changes will be saved and the row's checkmark () will remain so that you can continue making further edits.

New - This button allows you insert a new row (item) in the current table. Clicking the button adds the new row at the top of the table and activates Edit Mode so you can enter the data required for each cell. Note: If this button includes a drop-down list immediately to its right, you must first select an item from the list so that the new row will be based on the chosen list item.

Delete - Clicking this button removes the current row from the table. If you have multiple rows selected, all of the rows will be removed. When you click the button, you are prompted to make sure you want to delete the item(s) as the action cannot be undone.

Important Considerations - While most program screens allow you to delete a row easily, some screens contain items that require special consideration before deleting:

• Employees - When you delete an employee from the Payroll tab's Employee - Setup Employee screen, the employee will no longer be visible on any screen in the Payroll tab other than the Employee - Status Parameters screen (the latter screen is required so that the employee can undeleted if necessary). If you delete an employee from the Employee Database, the employee is irretrievable. Refer to the Deleting Employees tutorial for more information.
• Linked Items - Care should be taken when deleting an item(s) as they may be associated with other items in your database. If you attempt to delete an item and receive the following message: "Cannot delete <item> because it is linked to the following item:", it means that the item is associated (linked) with another item in the program. The item cannot be deleted until you remove the link/association between the two items. Refer to the Deleting Linked Items help page for more information.
• Sub Rows - Some screens contain sub-rows that will appear under the main row that you are deleting. If you see an Expand icon () at the leftmost side of the row, you may wish to expand the main row to ensure that you are deleting the proper items. Note: If you are presented with an error message stating that "the first item should be deleted last", it indicates that you must delete all of the sub rows first before you can delete the main row. For screens that offer a Trash icon () to the left of the main row, you can choose the icon to remove the row and all of it's sub-rows in one action.

Reload - Clicking this button refreshes the browser page and replaces the data in the current screen with the last saved copy from the database. This is useful if you have made a number of changes to a row and wish to discard them all in one operation. Note: Remember that eNETEmployer saves the changes to a row each time a new row is selected. Thus, if you edit three rows in succession and then select the Reload button, only the third row will be restored.

Tools - Clicking the button displays a drop-down menu with special data functions that are available for the current screen. Depending on the which screen you are viewing, the options may include any of all of the following:

• Audit - This option opens the History window that displays a list of changes that have been made to the current row. Changes are shown in colored text. Note: Audit History is a developing feature and subject to updates as new functionality is added.
• Backup - This option creates a backup file that contains your complete company database (from all program modules, including Payroll, HR, Recruitment, etc.) - including all of the necessary information required to restore your data to the last program state when the backup was created. Depending on your browser settings, the backup file will either be stored in your Downloads folder or you may be presented with a window that will prompt you where to save the file. Click here to view a detailed description of the Backup command.
• Export - This option saves the current table's data to a semicolon-separated file that can be opened in a spreadsheet program. The export function is carried out immediately upon choosing the command. Depending on your browser settings, the file will either be stored in your Downloads folder or you may be presented with a window that will prompt you where to save the file. Refer to the Export a File for Proper Formatting note above for more information on the export feature.
• Import - This option allows you to import data from a character-separated (comma or semi-colon) spreadsheet file. Choosing the option opens a popup window where you can specify the file to be imported.
• Messages - This option displays the Messages Log window that contains a running log of program messages that appear above the table. This log will be active for the login session, and will be cleared when you log out or the program, or if the system times out. The popup window contains thee command buttons:
  • Print - This button opens the Print window so that you can print a copy of the current table. A preview of the table will appear in a preview window before printing so that you can adjust the print settings as needed.
  • Copy - This button copies the full contents of the Messages Log window to your computer's virtual clipboard. If you wish to copy only a portion of the text shown, select the desired text, and then press <Ctrl>+<C> on your keyboard.
  • More - This button scrolls the window so that you can view messages that appear outside of the current view. You can also use the scroll bars at the left of the window to scroll through the window.
• Print - This option opens the Print window so that you can print a copy of the current table. A preview of the table will appear in a preview window before printing so that you can adjust the print settings as needed.
• Report - Available on the Payroll tab's Payroll Processing - Calculations screen only, this option generates an interim Payroll Register report so that you can review the details of the current pay sequence.

Help - Clicking this button displays a list of the various tutorials and online help tools that are provided for the current screen. The Online Help option provides a detailed description of each column and item on the current screen. The Step-by-Step option provides a tutorial for the current screen where you can follow along with the lesson one step at a time.
