The personnel manager function in Agromanager allows you to easily assign management responsibilities to team leaders who are responsible for specific employees. In this article, we explain step by step how to create and configure a personnel manager.
Step 1 - Adding a user 'Personnel Manager'
1.1 - Open the ‘My Agromanager’ module
On the left side of your screen, you’ll find the menu with all modules. Select the 'My Company' module and then choose the 'Users' option.
1.2 - Add a new user
Click the ‘New User’ button at the top right.
You’ll be directed to a screen where you can configure the settings and permissions for the user. Fill in the following details:
-
Username: Choose a unique username for the user.
-
Role: Customized.
-
Mobile phone: Enter the user’s mobile number.
-
Email address: Provide the user’s email address.
-
Password: Set a strong password with at least 8 characters, including a special character.
-
Two-Factor Authentication (optional): If enabled, the user must enter a verification code sent to their mobile number in addition to their username and password when logging in.
1.3 - Assigning a role
When assigning the correct role to a personnel manager, it’s important to activate the following modules:
-
Staff
Make sure the ‘Personnel Manager’ option is available in this module. This allows the user to be linked to specific employees. -
Time registration
This module is required to register, track, and assign work hours to the correct employees. -
My Company
This module gives the user access to general company settings, such as setting nationalities, accommodation locations, etc.
⚠️ Note: without these modules, the personnel manager cannot perform their tasks correctly in Agromanager.
Step 2 - Link personnel manager to employees
After creating a user with the correct role, you can assign them as a personnel manager to specific employees.
-
When creating a new employee
Select the appropriate personnel manager immediately in the ‘Personnel Manager’ field. -
For existing employees
Use an administrator account to manually assign the desired manager via the employee's detail page.
This way, each personnel manager only has access to the employees they are responsible for.
Step 3 - Link personnel manager to Timerapp
Within ‘My Agromanager’ you will find an overview of all linked applications. Here, you can also assign personnel managers to devices using the Timerapp.
-
Manage existing devices
Go to the device details where the Timerapp is active.
In this screen, you’ll see the ‘Manager’ option.
Click on ‘Edit’ to add or change a personnel manager.
Note: this can only be done by an administrator user. -
Create new application
When creating a new application, you must also assign a manager via the detail view.
Do this by going to the details and clicking ‘Edit’.
By linking a manager to a device, you ensure they can only see time registrations from the device they are responsible for.
