Employee Tracking Software – Web based Service
FIOB can be used as Employee Tracking Software.
When employer want to tracking his employees, want to know how his employees works, when they come back to the office, when they take the lunch break, FreeInOutBoard can give him the ability to do the Employee Tracking.
FIOB employee tracking software is a web-based crossplatform (any operation system) system. Customer sign up for his company, then add users, or employees, to the InOutBoard. Then users can sign in when they come into the office, or let the receptionist to do the sign in for them. On lunch break or out for appointment, they can sign out or mark it as off.
No special equipment needed, just a computer with Internet access.
For vacation records, employer can log the days employee take for vacation.
For sick leave records, it is same, no hassle. Employer can use it very quickly and keep the records for years.
FIOB Employee Tracking Software is not a Windows Software, you can use any computer, any device, maybe your cellphone browser, to sign in and out.
Why we can not provide unlimited service for free
Some one may ask why you can not provide free service with unlimited users. This is the most frequently asked question!
Unfortunately, we cannot provide free InOut Board service without limitation to anyone. We are truly sorry, but if you are meet the following requirements, you still can use our Free InOut Board(FIOB) for free.
You have less than ten users, less than 2 locations, and 2 groups. FIOB Free Service is right for you.

FIOB Sep. Oct. Newsletter
Introduction
Oh! It is November already. Where is our September and October Newsletter?
Here it is. We get a lot of chance to learn something from our users.
Admin’s online training
If you are the administrator of your board, you can access the online training. It will show you how to change the settings of the board, how to add group, add new user. It will tell you how to get the visitor viewer link without sign in.
It is only How-to for Administrator. It is a guide for you.
Updated World Map
Every previous or current users can be shown on the world map, which is powered by Google Maps. We improved the storage data of location. Check and save the Lat, lng information. So, itt is faster than before.
Remove the visitor view link from homepage
It is for privacy issue. We agreed that your name and email are privacy information too. We are not showing it on the site. But, if you don’t want to sign in, and still can see the status of every users, Administrator can get the visitor view link from the board setting page.
Remove visitor view link from public
As we noticed that privacy is one of the most important issue on Internet.
We are also get some feedback of our client. They don’t want to show the name and link on our In Out Board system. Even being cached by Google or any other Search Engine.
I totally agree with you.
So we removed visitor view link from the home page of this site.
Our clients can still use the visitor view without login. The URL of your board can be found in your board settings under Admin panel. Turn on visitor view first. Then copy the link and bookmark it. Then you can use it.
FIOB August Newsletter
Introduction
From today, we put every modification or improvement records here, monthly newsletter.
Not only that, it is a good way to communicate with our users. If you like it, I like it.
Attendance Reports: Fixed
We fixed date pickup box problem. Previously, if no date was chosen and click submit, there were system errors. Now we even add ajax validation features.
Home Page: Modification
Reduced the number of clients, show 10 clients only. Not the latest one, but the most active one.
Board Settings: Updated
So, if the client want to have the visitor view, he need the link of the view only page. The link is shown at the board settings, under admin. The link only works when the visitor view allowed.
Sign in out: Improvement
To save the clicks, we made a small improvement on the sign in out page.
When the current status of user is In, by clicking his name, the default check is applied on Out.
When the current status of user is Out, Vacation or others, by clicking his name, the default check is applied on In.
Conclusion
This is the first news letter. I am not sure which format is easy to read. I do not know what kind of content our users want to know. If you have any ideas or suggestions, just comment below.
Ajax Tab implement
Right now, we improved the most often used page, index page of Free In Out Board. Every time user log in and see this page.
Now, group tab is ajax supported.
It has two pros.
1) Make index page smaller, it means web page load faster.
2) Click tab, trig the ajax content, the user status table loaded dynamically, the user status are real time.
