This article is intended for:
- Administrators.

Use the "Events" module when you need to:
- Register an incident related to an employee.
- Document an absence.
- Record an important operational situation.

Key concepts
Before working with this module, it is important to understand the following concepts:
Event
A record of a situation associated with an employee.
Employee incident
A formal note, situation, or incident related to an employee.
Grouped by employee
The way the system organizes events, showing records under the corresponding person.
Event detail
Specific information about the event, such as date, description, notes, and context.
Schedule context
The ability to open, review, or relate events from the calendar or schedule when applicable.
Understanding the main Events screen
The main "Events" screen shows records grouped by employee.
From this screen, depending on the user’s permissions, you can:
- Search for employees or events.
- Expand employee groups.
- Review registered events.
- Select records.
- Create new events.
- Edit existing events.
- Delete events, if the user has permission.
Grouping by employee helps review each person’s history without mixing information between different employees.
Before creating, editing, or deleting an event, remember that these records may be part of the employee’s internal history and should be handled responsibly.
Before creating an event
Before registering an event, confirm that the information is clear, necessary, and related to the correct employee.
Recommended questions:
- Does the event correspond to the selected employee?
- Is the event date correct?
- Is the description objective and professional?
- Is the information necessary for the history?
- Should the event be related to an absence, operational incident, or formal note?
- Does the user registering the event have permission to document this information?
- Could the information be considered sensitive?
Registering events with clear information helps maintain a useful and reliable history.
How to create an event
- Open "Events" or "Employee Incidents" from the main menu.
- Select the action to create a new event.
- Choose the related employee.
- Complete the event date.
- Add the required information.
- Write a clear, objective, and professional description.
- Add notes or additional details if needed.
- Save the event.
- Confirm that the event appears under the correct employee.
Once saved, the event will be registered in the history of the selected employee.
How to write a good description
The event description should be clear, objective, and easy to understand.
Recommendations:
- Write only information related to the event.
- Avoid personal opinions.
- Use professional language.
- Include dates or context when necessary.
- Do not add unnecessary information.
- Avoid ambiguous comments or information that is difficult to verify.
Recommended example:
"The employee did not show up for the scheduled shift on March 15 and did not notify the supervisor in advance."
Not recommended example:
"The employee always has problems and never lets anyone know."
An objective description helps make the history useful for future reviews.

How to review an employee’s history
To review an employee’s registered events:
- Open the "Events" module.
- Search for the employee.
- Expand the corresponding group.
- Review the events organized by date.
- Open the event detail if you need more information.
This history can help supervisors, administrators, or human resources review previous situations before making decisions.
Using Events with the schedule
In some cases, events can be viewed or related to the schedule.
This can be useful when:
- The event is related to an absence.
- The incident occurred during a shift.
- Context needs to be reviewed from the calendar.
