Roll Call 3.31

Roll Call is an employee in and out board and a secure instant messaging system. The main fallacy of in and out boards is people forget to change their status. With Roll Call, you only need to remember to change it when you leave your desk, not when you return. When you click your mouse or type on your keyboard for the first time after being away from your desk, Roll Call will automatically change your status to desk . If you happen to leave your desk and forget to change your status, Roll Call will change it to idle after a given amount of time. When you remember to change your status, Roll Call makes it easy by allowing you to type a hotkey or select a status from a popup menu that is presented when Roll Calls tray icon is right clicked. For instance, you can define a hotkey to change your status to lunch , another to home , etc. No matter what the forefront application is, you can enter a key sequence to change your status. Roll Calls tray icon also graphically represents what your status is. When you change your status, Roll Call saves you time by defaulting to a reasonable return time. If lunch or break , the current time plus the typical amount of time you take for lunch or a break respectively. If home , the next business day at your typical arrival time. The calculation of the next business day considers company holidays that you provide and weekends. Roll Call provides additional information. Associated with each employee record is a notes section, group list, email address and a phone list. Groups are useful because the employee list can be filtered to only show those associated with a particular group.
