SMART Support - (Site Map) Update Matrices > > SMART : Update and Employees Sickness / Attendance Matrix
One of the unique features of SMART is that although it is fundamentally a database application it looks and feels like a spreadsheet to many users. Each matrix making use of columns and rows to except user data. This provides the best of both worlds, easy data inputting associated with spreadsheets and the power of complex data analysis provided by database applications.
Updating the matrix is a simple case of entering your absenteeism codes into the correct cell.
The matrix list 52 weeks with the most recent week being at the top. The week ending date is given in the W/E column with the Sun to Sat dates for that week position to the left. (as shown below)
Week 1 (newest week) means it will be 52 weeks before it drops off the matrix. Whereas Week 52 (oldest week) only has one week before it drops off the matrix. Any 'sickness' records in week 52 will not be lost, they are transferred into the individual's attendance archive. Note only sickness records are archived,
Creating a list of sickness and absenteeism code will allow you to use SMART not just to manage sickness and sickness trends and patterns, but also to record things like annual leave and training days. Whilst it is important to ensure that only the starting letter S issued to be called sickness, the same principle can be applied to other types of leave and absenteeism. For example you could use the letter A two recalled the various types of leave entitlement, this could be Annual leave (AL), unpaid leave (, bank holiday least, maternity leave etc.
Sample Codes for consideration: (You have A-Z, AA-ZZ to AAA-ZZZ build your sets from)
SMART offers the ability to create an incredible 18,278 unique matric codes.
