Ava Pa allows you to add or setup Agencies just as you would set up an employee. Agancies can supply mutiple people for any given time period. However you need to keep track of the actual supplied employee, so there is a secondary name column for this information.

Adding an Agency is the same as adding an employee record card: goto to any employee's record card and click on the add new button:

Alternatively From the "Buttons "Screen - Select Add New Record - and follow the Wizard selecting the employee type / section.

The wizard will be shown in exactly the same way:

Tab through the following or click on the appropriate text box:

Title. (Mr. Mrs, Miss) (Leave Blank)
 Initial. (Leave Blank)
 Last Name. (Agency Name)
 Familiar. (If the Agency has another trading Title or Acronym)

Unlike an employee who would go through the recuiting process, the Agency can be live on the system immediately.

Agencies can also supply both genders, so this should be "not set"

However when you get to the step in the wizard which asks about the availability of the employee: choose one of the Agency options. There are (at least) two Agency options: preferred with contracts to supply and non-preferred or ad hoc. Preferred or contracted Agencies will allways appear above non contracted ones.

Fill out any address tabs as required, inserting the post code to the right of the "?" question mark in lower case as it will automatically be corrected.

Adresses are just the same as for an employee. However Adresses such as Next of Kin, References, Main employement etc ahould be left blank.

Tab through any other screens that do not save information relevant to your use of that Agency.

If you have set up you system for "sales" regions, then the Agency should be selected for you customers to whom you are going to supply the secondary agency staff. These can be filtered by region.

Finally, not all Agencies may supply (or be approved to supply) you with all levels of staff. So select the appropriate levels.

Finish the wizard by saving.

This Agency will be immediately available for use on the Agency tab in all availability lists.
