Setting Up Smartforce Supervisor Notifications For a Customer

In this article we will go over the supervisor notification feature and the 2 ways to set it up for a customer so that a supervisor can be automatically notified with an email when an officer is late to a post.

This is a great way to stay on top of no shows or habitually late employees.  Depending on the start of shift grace period set the assigned supervisor will receive an email notification that the officer had not clocked in on time. 

TIP & BEST PRACTICE:  Create a general email group for supervisors for notifications rather than set up notifications for individual supervisors. 

How to Setup a Supervisor Notification

To set up a supervisor notification:

1. Log onto the Trackforce Valiant web portal as an Admin or Supervisor.

2. Hover over the TLM Module and click Customer in the Schedule Maintenance section.
