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 Outlook Add-In, which can be seen below.

If you would like to view more detailed information on what our EIOBoard is, please view the
following site: What is an In-Out Board?

Using your Status Board

4.1 Standard and Mini Views

When viewing your status board, you have two options for how you want to view all your users. This
can be changed by clicking the “Standard” or “Mini” tabs on the left side of the status board. You
can also drag the status board around in Outlook to place it in the top, bottom, left, or right side of
the Outlook window.

4.1.1 Standard View

Shows details for each user’s status, such as returning time, comment, location, and more.
The columns that are shown can be customized by right-clicking on any column header.

4.1.2 Mini View

Shows users in a compact, side-by-side view.
Allows many users to be seen at once.
Only displays status color (such as green for In, red for Out, yellow for Unavailable, etc).

4.2 Groups

You can see all users in a specific group by clicking on one of the group tabs above the status
board. This is a handy way to view all users in a specific department, floor, etc. (depending on how
it was set up by your administrator). You can also create a custom group for your personal use
called My Friends by right-clicking on the different users’ usernames and clicking Add My Friend.
