A LAN-based in and out board and centralized email
address book. The main fallacy of in and out boards is
people forget to change their status. With Roll Call,
you only need to remember to change it when you leave
your desk, not when you return. When you touch your
mouse or keyboard for the first time after being away
from your desk, Roll Call will automatically change
your status to "desk". If you happen to leave your
desk and forget to change your status, Roll Call will
change it to "idle" after a given amount of time. This
last feature is optional. Roll Call saves you time
when you do remember to change your status by
defaulting to a reasonable return time. If "lunch",
the current time plus the typical amount of time you
take for lunch. If "home", the next business day at
your typical arrival time. The calculation of the next
business day considers company holidays that you
provide and weekends. Roll Call provides additional
information. Associated with each employee record is a
notes section, group list, email address and a phone
list. The notes section can be used to advise others
of your future plans to be out of the office or away
from your desk. Groups are useful because Roll Call
can be filtered to only show employees associated with
a particular group. Therefore, when a potential
customer calls, the receptionist can use Roll Call to
quickly determine which sales person is available.
