InTouch Online February 2008
 
Dear Customer,
 

Welcome to the February issue of InTouch Online! Although many people only think of Valentine's Day when they think of February, don't forget we also have Mardi Gras, Presidents Day, and, of course, Groundhog's Day (a Pennsylvania favorite)! And remember that 2008 is a Leap Year; we get an extra day this month!

SubFinder- So Much More than an Automated Placement Solution

Lady With BooksMany districts believe that their SubFinder system serves only one purpose - automated substitute placement for the absences reported by your teaching staff. But SubFinder can do so much more! Let's dig deeper into the SubFinder system and see what else it can do for you:

Fact: Teachers are not the only employees that can utilize the SubFinder system.

 

Non-certified employees may also utilize SubFinder, allowing you to track all employee absences. Using SubFinder for all employee types will allow you to easily track leave entitlements and payroll information for the entire district and provide accurate reporting. You can even use SubFinder to track those employees that never require a substitute by specifying that within the appropriate job position records.

 

Fact: SubFinder can export data to your timekeeping and payroll systems with the Data Exchange Pro module already available within your SubFinder system.

 

Data Exchange Pro will allow your payroll department to export time-worked and time-absent information from the SubFinder system. This will relieve your payroll department of hours of tedious data entry and provide a more accurate tracking system for absence reasons, budget codes, and other essential information.

 

Fact: SubFinder can keep each of your sites informed with up-to-date absence and job status information with SubCast, the broadcast email module that is already available within your SubFinder system.

 

By utilizing the SubCast module, your sites will be automatically updated via email throughout the day. Updates can be sent as often as you wish, and can be configured on a site-by-site basis if necessary. SubCast is a clear, well designed tool that communicates vital information to each of your sites without involving hours of labor for your office staff.

 

If you ever have questions regarding your SubFinder system and all of its capabilities, never hesitate to ask your Account Specialist. There may be a time where you ask yourself, "I wonder if SubFinder does..?" Ask us and we will let you know!

Have You Scheduled Your Upgrade? 
 

Thanks to input from you, significant changes have been made in this new version of SubFinder. All ASP customers have been upgraded to the current version; but if you are a Box-on-Site customer has your district or establishment been upgraded to 5.7?

 

In January all customers should have received notification of the recent upgrade release to version 5.7. Additionally, all Box-on-Site customers should have received their SubFinder 5.7 upgrade CD. If your district or establishment has not received this information, please contact your Account Specialist.

 

All upgrades must be scheduled with your Account Specialist, so please call and schedule an appointment today. And of course, you can also ask any questions you may have about SubFinder Version 5.7!

 

To review the SubFinder 5.7 Release Notes as well as updated User Documentation, please visit the Customer Support Center.

 

We hope you have a wonderful month! Winter is almost over and Spring is about to creep in!

 

 

Till next month,
