Set the week start and staff ID series
Choose the day your week starts on and set up automatic staff IDs with a prefix, a number of digits and the next number to use.
Go to Settings → General. Change what you need and select Save changes.
Week starts on
Calendars and weekly views start on this day. Sunday is the default, as on most Indian wall calendars.
Employee code series
X can give each new staff member a staff ID.
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Prefix | Letters before the number, for example EMP |
| Digits | How many digits the number has, with zeros in front |
| Next number | The number the next new staff member gets |
The page shows the result as Next code, for example EMP0042.
When you add a staff member, the Staff ID box is filled in from this series. You can still type your own ID. Staff IDs are also how staff imports find people to update.
