Example

This example shows how to customise the Employee View - Totals area to display a non-paying allowances column that shows the employee's total non-paying allowances in the selected pay.

First, you need to add a column to the Employee View - Totals area.

1. Click in the Employee View - Totals area.
2. Press F10 to see the Customize box.

   Note: Alternatively, click Tools | Customise | Customise Columns in the main menu.

3. Drag-and-drop a Numeric Column from the Customize box to the required location in the grey Employee View - Totals headings, such as to the right of the Nett column.
4. Close the Customize box.

   Now you can specify a data source for the new column.

5. Click a cell in the new column.
6. Press Alt+F10 to see the Customise Column Extensions form.

   Note: Alternatively, click Tools | Customise | Customise Column Extensions in the main menu.

7. In the Details tab | Data source field, select {current view}.Non Paying Allowances.

   When you tab to the next field, PayGlobal automatically enters "NP Allws" in the Caption field.

   Note: You can edit this default Caption value, if required.

8. Click OK.

   You have to save your new layout or you will lose your new column after you leave Transaction View.

9. In the File menu, click Save Layout As and save your new layout as an existing Filename (such as "Default") or enter a new Filename (such as "NPAllws").

   Note: The Filename must be one word.
