What is EIOBoard?

Quickly see who is in and out at a glance! EIOBoard (short for “Electronic In-Out Board”) is a
simple and easy to use desktop, online, and mobile software tool used for employee attendance
tracking, time and attendance, interoffice communications, and more. Our in out board gives
users the ability to send private instant messages, leave phone messages electronically, keep
electronic timecards, create shared calendars, and more. This document will show you how to use
the basics of our EIOBoard application, which can be seen below.
