To start generating timecards first you need a template file to point the program towards. A blank template workbook is provided in the archive you downloaded.
Open the genericTemplate.xlsx workbook file with Excel. It is a good idea to saveAs -> 'yourSuperDuperTemplate' at this point to keep the generic file intact. The template file should contain a blank timecard sheet which you may copy/rename/edit as you please.
To better understand what you might want in your template file, let's consider a real world example:
An aquatics department can categorize its staff members into:
- Lifeguard 1
- Lifeguard 2
- Aquafit Instructors
To achieve this:
- In Excel, open the genericTemplate.xlsx file and saveAs -> 'yourDepartmentTemplate'
- From our new template copy the 'Blank' sheet twice and rename them to 'Lifeguard 1', 'Lifeguard 2' and 'Aquafit'
- Input the appropriate pay grades into column C
- Save and close Excel
- Now we can fire up the tcGen-v0.2.jar file and point it toward our new template file using the 'Open Template' button.
- You can now add and remove employees to each template group
See the exampleTemplate.xlsx file for a demonstration.
Q: Employees I add are not saved when I open the template again.
A: The tcGen program saves the employee data you enter into it to a hidden 'Roster' sheet inside your excel Template. Make sure you are using the 'Save & Close' button, and that the template workbook is not open in Excel.
