The OAF
(Overhead Allocation Form)
The OAF (Overhead Allocation Form) is now integrated as part of epic48‘s attendance module in order to remain simple and convenient to fill out on a daily basis.
When you access the oaf page it will give you all of the dates
which it requires allocation to be present. Simply select the project
to file under and enter a percentage. To add additional projects, just
click the plus sign and they will be added.
By default the main screen will only show you today and the previous
business day as well as any other days in the past which your total
allocation does not equal 100%.
Days which are on
your screen but are completed (totalling 100%) will be highlighted in
green. Conversely any days on your screen which require information will be
red.
The form will be placed in front of all epic authentication so that
once you’re in the system, if any date in the past hasn’t been filled in
you will be forced to fill it in before you can interact with the system.
The allocation data is presented when you’re signing in to the attendance for the day so that you can fill in the values
for that day first thing in the morning (or at any point in the day) and
then you can correct or change them the following day if you need to.
Days when staff are out of the office they can select from within
the Other heading: vacation, sick, medical, etc.. so that the day’s
total of 100% can be fulfilled but not necessarily allocated to a
department/project.
Future features
A requested feature which we’ll be working on implementing is to have a favourites list automatically pop-up so that those people who work on certain projects on a nearly daily basis can have them already selected so it’s just a matter of inserting a percentage of time spent.
