2 Introduction
This guide is intended to help you through the setup and use of the ATG Solution.
It will describe and explain the process of setting up the system for your business, such as
creating Business Units, Bonus Structures and configuring Product Types. After that it will explain
how to create a Target Board for a period, by setting up rosters and targets for your staff.
The later chapters cover the use of the reporting tool, and explain in more details how the
bonuses are calculated.
3 Logging In
Upon reaching your new ATG website, you will be greeted with the following page.
In the top right, you will find a “Login” button, clicking on this button you will find this page in
front of you.
Simply enter your provided username and password, and then click “Log In” and you will see the
main target board page.
3.1 Main Target Board Page
The page you will be greeted with is the target board, from here you will be able to see the
current period’s sales, be able to swap between old periods, or different business units, and
access the main menu where you will find links to the different reporting and setup tools
included with in ATG.

4 Site Setup
In the Site Setup section, you enter common settings that are relevant to your store and system,
and unrelated to a specific period.
Before using the ATG Solution, you need to complete the Site Setup.
You will only need to change settings in here if your organisation changes, or if you have new
specific products – not every time a new period starts.
For users of ClickPOS system: Before you can go through Site Setup and the other
steps, your ClickPOS database needs to be populated with data. This is usually done
during the installation of your system. Otherwise, refer to the relevant documentation, of
contact the ATG support team.
4.1 Launch Site Setup
Once logged into the ATG website, click the setup tab and then click the SETUP SITE
button.

4.2 Define Business Units
In the Define Business Units screen, you can define the departments of your business.
Typically, a business composed of a Telstra Store and a Telstra Business Centre (TBC), should
have the following Business Units:
• “Telstra Store” (for consumers)
• “TBC” (Telstra Business Centre, for business clients)
• “Other”
The unit “Other” is usually used for staff members that are not assigned to specific units, and do
not have sales targets. This is including admin members, who do not regularly make sales, but
are sometimes involved in GP (reimbursements, corrections, or sales on occasions).
If you have additional units such as Telesales, or a second T-Life Store in another location, you
should use this screen to add them.
• To add a Business Unit, click “Add BU”. The new unit appears without a name.
• To change a Business Unit’s name, click on the name field and use the mouse and keyboard
to edit it.
• If a Business Unit is not needed, you can just tick is as Inactive on the right-hand side. It will
not be usable later in the targeting tool.
• ICE - Add DealerCode and then the BranchID and CompanyID will fill in automatically.
• ClickPOS – Add BranchID number (eg 100 or 410)
• When you are finished editing your business units, click on Next.

4.3 Select Period Type
In this screen you can choose whether you set your targets on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly or
quarterly basis.
• If you select Monthly, your targeting period always starts the first day of the month.
• If you select Weekly or Fortnightly, your periods will be 7 or 14 days long. Any new
period will start the day after the previous period ends, for example a weekly period
can start Thursday the 18th August 2011 and end Wednesday 24th August. The next
period will automatically start Thursday the 25th.
• Quarterly periods are fixed and start 1st of January, 1st of April, 1st of July, and 1st of
October.

4.4 Enter Specific Products
Some products, or groups of products, are different from one shop to another. You can specify
those in the Define Products screen.
4.4.1 Products and Products Categories
The products or product categories are listed on the far-left column. These are simply
descriptions that help you recognise them. They will also be the names displayed in the targets
and reports later on.
4.4.2 Query Selection
The data is extracted from your POS System (or other systems such as NPS), by using a Query.
Use the drop-down box in the second column to specify which report you would like to use to
locate your desired product. In ICE, this may be FixedQuery or MobileQuery, where in ClickPOS it
will likely be the Sales query.
In some cases, you do not which to get data from a query: a product can be defined as the sum
(or subtraction) of several other products. In that case select “Parent Product Only”. The list of
other products to combine will be created in the next page.
Note that you can combine those 2 features. A product can be defined via a query, with filters,
THEN you can add of subtract the count of some other products to it.
4.4.3 Creating Filters
Once you have selected a query to read from, you will need to create some filters, in order to
isolate the products that are relevant. Without filters, every entry returned by the query would
be counted as an entry for your product.
You need to choose which fields to filter on, and what are the accepted values. All these fields
are directly extracted from your system (ClickPOS, ICE, NPS ) and if you are familiar with the
products definitions you should recognise them.

4.4.3.1 Choosing a filter field
To create a filter, you must first choose what field (or column) to filter on.
The list of fields for ICE includes:
• Stockcode: you will select one or a list of product codes.
• GLSETIDCODE: this designates a category of products, listed in ICE. This is typically the
chosen criteria for accessories, which have numerous entries in the ICE database – all of
which as marked as part of the “MOB-ACC” category
• Stocktype: this is similar to GLSETIDCODE; however, it uses a different field from ICE. This is
typically used for TBS which simply have “TBS” for Stocktype.
• Promotion: the category of a plan (for Fixed and Mobile connection queries)
• Description: the name of the plan (for Fixed and Mobile connection queries)
The list of fields for ClickPOS includes:
• PlanName: this is the name for a plan / type of contract (i.e. “Consumer Plan Subsidised”).
• PlanType: this is the type of plan (i.e. “Business Cap $49”)
• PlanCategory: This is a more general classification for plans (i.e. “PREPAID” or “FIXED”).
• StockDescription: This is the actual description of the product (i.e. “AC Iphone Charger”)
• StockCode: this is the unique identifier of the product in the system (i.e. “118464”)
• Supplier: This is the name of the supplier of the product (i.e. “UNIDEN”).
4.4.3.2 Choosing filter values
Once the field is selected, you need to specify which values are valid for this product.
The “Select” button opens a pop-up, in which you can make your selection.
On the right, there is a text field that displays the currently selected values.
This pop-up window displays a list of products that can be set as constituents for a product /
group of products. In the left column, there is a list of values for the field selected in the previous
screen. In the right column is there can be a description (depending on the query and field used).

4.4.3.3 Searching for a product
There are numerous lines in that screen and it is recommended to use the Search function to
find the lines you are interested in. Click in the “Filter” box to search.
The selection of products will shrink as you enter a search into the filter. For performance
reasons, we highly recommend using Google Chrome as other web browsers process the
searches a lot slower.
The input criterion does not need to be complete to return results. The more complete it is, the
more accurate the results.

For users of ICE POS system: the list of items displayed in the pop-up is extracted
directly from the ICE database, which is not optimised for this type of queries. It can
take time to display the data. Just let the system process your request, and soon enough
the window will display the list.
4.4.3.4 Manual entry
For most queries, the list only displays a list of products that have already been sold at least
once. Which means if you have in stock a new product that will be released on the next day, it
won’t be displayed in the list yet, since it has not been sold to a customer yet.
To get around this issue, you can enter a value manually. Scroll down to the bottom of the pop-
up, type the filter value (make sure your spelling is exactly right) and click Add. The new entry
will appear at the top of the list in the pop-up.
The system supports the use of Regular Expressions. “Regex” help keep the number of filter
entries small, when targeting many items with similar names. To specify a filter value needs to
be processed as a regex, click the “regex” checkbox. The entry is saved with leading and trailing
“/” as an indication.
The use of regular expressions can have detrimental effects on the performance of
the system. If are unsure whether your regex is optimal, please consult with us.
4.4.3.5 Finishing your selection of products
Click on the checkbox next to a product to add it to the list on constituent items for a product.
Once you have finished your selection, click Ok.

4.4.4 Combining filter and filter values
In some cases, you will need to apply more than 1 filter to make a product accurate. For
example, if you wish to add a product for New Mobile Voice Activations, you might need the
following filters:
- Carrier = Telstra Mobile Voice (Consumer) OR Telstra Mobile Voice (Business)
- AND
- PhoneType = Contract Only - New
The first filter removes unwanted plans such as TMB, fixed plans etc. The second filter removes
recontracts etc.
This example illustrates the way filters are applied.
- Filters on different fields add more restriction: a plan must be the right Carrier AND the right
PhoneType to be counted.
- Values inside a field, however, adds more options. The Carrier can be any of the options
selected in the popup (Telstra Mobile Voice (Consumer) OR Telstra Mobile Voice (Business).
4.5 Custom Parent Products
In some cases, it is easier to define a product as a combination of other products, rather than
just using filters. In this page, you can select products (“parents”) to be a combination of some
other products (“children”).
The figures for a “parent” product are calculated by adding or subtracting the figures of its
children.

4.5.1 Parent Product Categories
The parent products are listed on the far-left column. You can select the parent product with the
Select button. Only existing products can be used. If you want to use a new product, you must
first create it in the previous page (Custom Products).
4.5.2 Child products
Use the central green “Add Child” button to add more items to fall under your custom parent
product, in the second example above, you can see the custom parent product “Trend Micro &
BSB Speakers” has 2 children. Use the orange “select” buttons to choose products from the
previous page to add as children.
4.5.3 Operation
This column identifies whether you are adding or subtracting your chosen children products
from the total. In this example, “Business Voice Activations Siebel” is removed from the count of
Consumer PPN.
Remember that parent products can also have queries. Consumer PPN is first calculated from a
query/filters, then its child product is subtracted to the figure.
This was the last step of your Site Setup. Your system is now configured, and you can create your
bonus structures.

5 Bonus Setup
The way of calculating bonus in ATG is versatile, allowing for a multitude of various sources of
data, completely custom scaling factors, and ultimately the ability to make your bonus structure
match the way you want to run your business.
The system is based on the following elements:
- threshold tables and calculation blocks to specify calculations to run
- reporting blocks to define how to display the information
- bonus structures combine the 3 previous elements, and can be assigned to staff
members
As you go through this section of the user guide, you will learn how each of these sections work,
how they relate to each other, and we will provide examples of how these relationships can
create a bonus structure.
5.1 Overview and comparison with previous versions of ATG
In versions prior to ATG 2.0, bonus structures were not flexible. There was a choice of 4 types of
structures:
- Individual GP/Hr
- Individual GP
- Business Unit GP/Hr
- Business Unit GP
Each structure could only be configured with its Threshold Table, to generate different
Potential Bonus. In this example, an input of $77.5/Hour would output a bonus base of $1 per
hour worked.

ATG SYSTEMS – ABN: 82 140 289 309
PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
There was also a minimum Target Weighting Completion reached required to earn the
bonus. For most stores, it was 65%.
5.1.1 Individual GP/Hr Bonus Structure in previous versions
The Individual GP/Hr structure worked as follows:
1. Calculate Potential Bonus
a. Calculate GP/Hr
i. Read GP (from POS)
ii. Add GP Adjustment
iii. Divide by Hours On the Floor
b. Feed GP/Hr into the Threshold Table, this outputs Bonus Base
c. Multiply by Hours On the Floor , this outputs Potential Bonus
2. Multiply by Target Weighting Completion
a. If Target Weighting Completion is less than 65%, multiply by 0.
3. Add TB Product Incentives
4. Add Ad-Hoc Incentives
5. Add Bonus Adjustment
5.1.2 Bonus Structures
For sites migrating from a previous version, all the existing bonus structures are automatically
migrated into the latest version. They can be kept as-is, or modified.
Each step of the old calculation becomes 1 step in the new bonus structure. Complex steps
(steps 1 and 2) need to be defined completely before they can be used in the bonus structure.
The steps for this bonus structure can be viewed and modified in the website.

This screen copy illustrates how the existing bonus structure is migrated. Each line we refer to is
a Calculation Block.
5.1.3 Principle of the calculation blocks
The Calculation Blocks defining a Bonus Structure can also be viewed and modified.
Calculation blocks are used to calculate values, and can:
- Read figures (actuals) for products / hours / GP
- Read values from other calculations blocks
- Input values into a Threshold Table, and use the output value
- Use operands (Add, Subtract, Multiply, Divide)
- Specify which date range to read figures for
- Read values for a Staff Member, or for a Business Unit
As such, the step 1 in this example (Potential Bonus) is a calculation block which combines
values from other calculation blocks. It is defined as follows:
We can notice the following:
- Steps “ai” and “aii” are combined into the call to a sub-calculation block called Total GP
- Steps “aiii” and “c” get their value from “Actuals” which are the figures for ATG Products
in the system. These are typically Telstra plans or accessories, but also include GP, hours
worked, NPS Advocates, etc.
- Step “b” is a call to a Threshold Table. Those are equivalent to the thresholds defined in
previous versions.
5.1.4 Example of a calculation block
Calculation blocks can be used to get NPS scores. Once we have imported NPS Advocates,
Detractors, and total Surveys into the system (via Netpro or Medallia) we can use this
calculation block.

PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
This gives us the NPS Consumer OTG score for a staff member or business unit.
5.1.5 Example of a Threshold Table
Let’s say you want to incorporate each staff’s NPS OTG score into their bonus calculation. You
could say that if their score is less than 50, they will only receive half their bonus. You can use a
threshold table to make a multiplier of 0.5 (if score too low) or 1 (if score high enough). It would
look something like this.
Whenever you input a value < 50, the table would output a value of 0.5. And whenever you
input a value >= 50, it would output 1.
5.1.6 Example of modified Bonus Structure
You can now create a calculation block called “NPS Multiplier”, which takes the NPS Score (by
calling the NPS Consumer OTG block from the previous example) and feeds it into this table.
That block will output either 0.5 or 1, and can be incorporated in your bonus structure to modify
the bonus.

5.2 Main settings, and individual Target Board settings
The system enables you to modify your Bonus Setup for your future target boards, without
affecting the calculations for your previous target boards.
This means that when you go through the Bonus Setup screens, you will only be modifying the
“Master” version of your bonus structures, calculation blocks, reporting blocks, and
threshold tables.
Any existing target board setup will at this stage be unchanged, and will not incorporate any
changes until you choose so. This means that you can look back at your old target boards and
the calculations will still be consistent with what they were at the time you created it.
Any newly created target board will automatically replicate the current version of the Master
bonus setup.
If you wish to apply changes from your Master setup to an existing target board, you will need
to manually do so in the Target Board Setup.

5.3 Threshold Tables
This screen allows you to create and edit your different Threshold tables.
In previous versions of ATG, threshold tables were the only configurable element of bonus
structures. They were used to specify Potential Bonus, based on either GP/Hour or GP.
Threshold tables output a value, depending on the input value (and what range it fits in). Since
ATG version 2.0, they are an independent element, that can be created and used as required.
Threshold tables are the primary way to determine your “scoring systems” for your bonus
structures. For example, you can use them to create a table that says, “if a staff member reaches
a certain amount of GP per hour, then they should be rewarded with potentially so many dollars
per hour worked”.
Clicking on the “Add Table” button will add a new table, clicking the “Edit” button next to that
table will bring up a page similar to the following:
From this page, you can create your threshold table. For the example of “GP per hour =>
Potential bonus”, you simply add the GP target you want your staff to hit in the “Lower Bound”
column, and the amount of bonus you want them to receive for that in the “Value” column. You
can add as many of these threshold rows as you like, simply click the “Add” button, and then
enter your next threshold, you should also give your table a name to be able to differentiate it

from other tables. If you no longer need a table, or want to bring a deleted one back, you can
use the “Historic” checkbox to determine if it is a current table or not. After entering your lower
bounds and values, you may have a table looking like this.
5.3.1 Individual GP per Hour Table
This table alone does not give staff a bonus figure, it simply tells our system that “if you receive
the value 77.5, output 1” and “if you receive the value 85, output 2” and so on. This is one
portion of our bonus structure, and the way we will use it will become clearer as we progress
through this section. There is another important table we need to create before we move on, as
it will be used to determine at what percentage of KPI completion will a staff member be eligible
for bonus.
5.3.2 Bonus Weighting Table
What this table is telling is that, “if value coming in is less than 0.65, output 0”, “if input value =1,
then output 1”, and “if input value is over 0.65, but less than 1, then output the input value”,
this “output of input value” is set by clicking the “use input value” check box. While this table

may seem small, what it is doing is filtering out any value less than 0.65 (or 65%), which is what
we will use shortly to determine if a staff member is eligible for bonus.
If you make a mistake in the ordering, or if you add too many thresholds, if you click and drag
the button, you will be able to reorder the values, and can delete them by clicking the
“delete” button.
5.4 Calculation Blocks
The step portion of the bonus setup is defining your calculation blocks. Calculation blocks can be
considered as the building blocks of your bonus structures. They are used to combine values
from various sources (products sold, GP, hours worked, NPS Advocates, etc) into a meaningful
calculation.
This is where most of the complex calculations will come into play, and is also where the tables
we defined in the last section will come into play. The calculation blocks aren’t run in any specific
order, so you can have one calculation block refer to another calculation block, so a large
majority of your bonus structure will be defined here.
Like the threshold table page, this page greets you with calculation block names, as well as
“Edit”, “Delete”, and “Copy” buttons, allowing you to edit, delete or duplicate your calculation
blocks. If we click “Add Calculation Block” and then click “Edit”, we will see the following:

5.4.1 Defining Calculation Blocks
From this page, you can give your calculation block a name to help tell it from other blocks, or
use the “Historic” checkbox to determine if it is a current calculation block or not. In the actual
calculation section, you have a few sections of a table:
1. Operation: defines how the value for this step applies to the value calculated in the
previous row
a. Adding
b. Subtracting
c. Multiplication
d. Division
e. runs the previous value through a threshold table.
2. Source Type: Your data, can come from different types of source:
a. Value: a specific value, specified by the user (e.g. : “100”)
b. Actuals: a figure from the ATG Actuals, which can be:
c. the number of a product sold (from the products file, or custom product created
by you)
d. GP
e. Hours worked
f. TB Incentive value
g. Ad-Hoc Incentive value
h. GP Adjustment, Stocktake adjustment, Mistake adjustment
i. Target: a staff KPI target of of sale for a product (example: Target for Consumer
Bundles)
j. Weighting Achieved: a staff KPI completion percentage for a product,
k. Total Weighting Achieved: the weighted target completion for a staff’s target
(across targets with weightings)
l. Calculation block: use the figure computed by another calculation block
3. Source “Select” button: After selecting your source type, you will need to select what
data you want to pull from that source. For value, you simply enter a number, but for
the others, will see a dropdown list, which you can use to find the data you would like to
use (which product to read, which calculation block to re-use, etc).
4. Date Range: the time range that you wish to run the calculation on, typically this is set to
“inherit” as that will use values for the current targetboard. Can be set to things that rely
on different date requirements, e.g. A rolling NPS score might need to be set to “Month
to Date +2” to look for all scores for the current month and 2 months prior.
5. Sales type: used to select if the tracking is per staff, or for the entire business unit. By
leaving on “Inherit”, it will go based on staff member for individual bonus calculations.
6. Default: this is an optional field. It overrides the computed line figure, if there was no
data found. If you do not specify a default value, the result for a line is generally 0, which
works well for sales figures (no Bundles sold = 0 bundles sold, no transaction done = 0
transaction done). If is used for some calculations such as NPS (no NPS Score is not the
same a score of 0) and RAD (no RAD score is not the same as a score of 0).

5.4.2 GP/Hr Block
The way the calculation blocks work with your numbers is top to bottom, this allows a lot of
freedoms with how you can calculate your data. The simplest example of a calculation block will
be your GP per hour block.
This block will start by adding the GP in question, and dividing it by the number of hours. If used
in a bonus structure, it will take your staff member’s GP for the period you’re looking at, and
divide it by the numbers of hours worked during the period in question.
The next calculation block we will see is a little more complex, but will show you how the math
of the calculation blocks behaves.
5.4.3 Potential Individual GP/Hr Block
This calculation block has 3 major steps, which are outlined below:
1 - Get the value of the calculation block “GP/Hr”, which we know by looking at that block, will
take the “GP” actual, and divide it by the “Hours” actual.
2 - Run the resulting value through the “Individial GP/Hr” threshold table. The table will take in
whatever the result of the calculations before it, and output a value based on the table itself.
3 - Multiply the result of the threshold table step by the number of hours worked.
As an example, say you had a staff member, Alice, that has worked 37 hours for a week, and has
made $3700 of GP for the same week. The calculation would run as so:
1 - Take the GP Alice made ($3700) and divide it by the numbers of hours she had worked (37),
which comes out to $100 per hour.
2 - Take that value of $100 per hour and see what the output of the threshold table would be. If
we look back to section 5.1.1, we can see that if that table recieves the value 100, it will output
the value 4. So after step 2, the value we have is 4.
GP/Hr

ATG SYSTEMS – ABN: 82 140 289 309
PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
3 - We multiply the value 4 by the actual number of hours that the staff member had worked
(37), to get 148. In this example, we now know that that Alice has a potential bonus of $148.
The last calculation block we want to create to make this bonus structure is a way to track KPI
completion rate. We have already made the Bonus Weighting threshold table, but now we need
to put in a calculation block so we can use it.
5.4.4 Weighting Multiplier Block
This calculation block will look for the “Total Weighting Achieved” as a percentage (or a decimal,
so 72% = 0.72) and run that value through the “Bonus Weighting” table. According to the
threshold table in section 5.1.2, this will return 0 for any value below 65% (0.65), and the value
itself otherwise. This is used to determine how much of their targets a staff member must reach
before they begin to receive bonus, and to scale their final bonus with their target completion.
5.5 Reporting Blocks
Before we get to finally define the bonus structures, we will define a way to visualise data on the
target board. There are 3 reporting blocks that we recommend having as a starting point, but
you can have as many or as few as you choose.
On the “Define Reporting Blocks” page, you will see the familiar line up of the “Name” column,
and the “Edit”, “Delete”, and “Copy” buttons. If you would like to add a new reporting block,
simply click on the “Add Reporting Block” button, and then click “Edit” next to your new block,
and you will see the following page:

5.5.1 Reporting Block Settings
In the top section, you have a box to give your reporting block a name, as well as 3 checkboxes,
these checkboxes will determine a few things:
Display as Perid to Date – Will make the reporting block display data as it currently is, as an
example; if a staff member has sold $1200 of GP by Wednesday, and your sales week ends on
Sunday, it will still show $1200.
Display as Run Rate – This will make the repoting block display data as a run rate, that is, “if you
keep going at the rate you re going, this is where you could be”. In the example above, if a staff
member had sold $1200 by Wednesay, and the last day of the sales week is Sunday, it would
show their GP as it may be on Sunday, in this case $2800. It will take into account the number of
hours the staff member has worked, and is yet to work, rather than just taking the days of the
period into account.
Historic – This functions as it does across the website, and will determine if you want to hide this
reporting block as an old unused block, or if it is a current one you would like to use.

5.5.2 Data Displays
In this section, you will set what data you want to display in the reporting blocks, when you
press the “Add” button, you will see the following table appear.
From left to right, the sections in this table are:
Title – Gives your data a name, also shows on the target board so that you know what the
resulting figure is representing.
Date Range – Selects the dates that you want the data source you will select to show, by default
this will be “inherit” which will normally be the current target board, but could be made to show
a rolling average, or a rolling NPS score, for example.
Format – Select the formatting applied to this value when displayed.
• Default: raw number with no specific formatting.
• No Dec: the number as an integer (without any decimals).
• Short $: dollar value without the decimals
• Long $: dollar value with 2 decimals
• % x 100: value multiplied by 100, then displayed with a % sign. So 0.7648 will be
displayed
• % x 1: value displayed with a % sign. So 0.7648 will be displayed
Source and Select Button – Behaves the same way as in the calculation blocks, lets you select
where you want the data to come from. A static value, or an actual sales figure, for example. You
can even select the “Bonus” that will result from the chosen bonus structure to appear here.
Default – Text to display when the Source returns a default value (which happens when there is
no data for this date range). For example, if we want to display the NPS Score calculation block
but there are no surveys, it makes sense to display “No Surveys” instead of a calculated NPS
value of 0.
Total – Determines how you would like this reporting block to appear on the last row of the
target board (the business unit row).
• Calculate: will recalculate the formulas using data from the whole business unit. This is
the preferred option in most cases, as it will incorporate data from all the staff,
regardless of their Bonus Structure and displays. As an example, “calculating” business
unit’s GP/hr will take the total GP of all staff, then divide by the total number of hours
ATG Solutions User Guide

worked, rather than taking a total of the staff’s GP/Hr (would result in a large value), or
averaging it (would result in an incorrect figure as different staff work different hours).
• Sum: will add up the values for all staff members
• Average: will average the values for all staff members.
• None: no display in the total row
Sum and Average options can have surprising effects. Those options will combine
values from each staff member, depending on the title of the displayed line. This is
to allow staff with different Bonus Structure / Reporting Block to be integrated on the
same Business Unit. More details in section Reporting Blocks merging and total
5.5.3 Conditional Formatting
The conditional formatting section is used to give the reporting block a colour based on rules you
set. This is typically used to present a scale of red-amber-green for things like GP/Hr or NPS.
The formatting is calculated dynamically based on an input Source and Date Range, and a
threshold table.
The Source and Date Range options are identical to the Data Display lines options.
The thresholds list work in an equivalent manner to the Threshold Tables, where the value from
the input is processed, and the table outputs the formatting.
The table displayed here will specify the colouring depending on the GP/Hour of the staff
member:
- Dark red if GP/Hour is negative
- Light red if between 0 and 85
- Yellow if between 85 and 100
- Green if 100 or over

ATG SYSTEMS – ABN: 82 140 289 309
PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
Notice the first line is the default colouring (no threshold defined) , which will be applied if no
Threshold has been reached. This is useful to apply colouring to negative values, and when there
is no entry (no NPS Score can be default grey colour).
This default colouring is also applied if the figure used is a default value. For example in this
table, the background will be dark grey when there is no NPS Survey for the past Month To Date
+ 2 Months.
5.5.4 Tool Tips
Tool tips are used to give you more information when you hover over a reporting block of a staff
member, you may choose to use this section to track intricate details of your bonus structures.
For example, you may want to track product or ad hoc incentives in this section, you can also use
it to give a better break down of where your staff’s GP has come from, and what is affecting
their bonus calculation. The selection for these tool tips is the same as the data displays section.

5.5.5 Reporting Block Setup Example
Following all the instructions above, you will be able to create any kind of reporting block you
choose, you don’t need to fill in all sections; conditional formatting and tool tips section don’t
need to be filled in for the reporting block to show information through the data displays.
The above example shows a reporting block that will display 4 key pieces of information on the
target baord:
- GP to Date: the actual amount of GP raised by the staff member.
- Hours Worked: the actual numbers of hours worked by the staff member.
- Completion Rate: will show the total weighting achieved by the staff member.
- Bonus: this line will show the bonus earned by the staff member, which will be calculated by
the bonus structure in the next section.
There is no conditional formatting or tool tips assigned to this reporting block, but they could be
added to give more information into how the bonus is calculated.

5.6 Bonus Structures
In this section, we will bring all the previous sections together to create a bonus structure for the
sales staff. In the bonus structures you will take a number of your calculation blocks, and use
them to calculate the bonus earned by your staff, you will also select which reporting blocks you
would like to display for each particular bonus structure.
In order to define a new bonus structure, start bu clicking the “Add Bonus” button, and then
click on the “Edit” button on the new row that appears.
5.6.1 Bonus Name
As with the other sections of the bonus structures, start with giving your bonus structure a name
that will make it easily identifiable for when you assign it to staff later in your target board
setup.

5.6.2 Calculation
In this section, you will do the final calculation for your bonus structure. In the calculation, you
will use as many or as few calculation blocks as you choose in order to create your bonus
structure. Using the examples from the previous pages, the bonus structure that can be created
is essentially going to be the result of the “Potential Individual GP/Hour” muliplied by the
“Weighting Muliplier”.
Broken down, this has a number of steps, an example of the process is below:
Say you had a staff member, Alice, that has worked 37 hours for a week, completed 72% of her
targets, and has made $3700 of GP for the same week. The calculation would run as so:
1 - Take the GP Alice made ($4625) and divide it by the numbers of hours she had worked (37),
which comes out to $125 per hour.
2 - Take that value of $125 per hour and see what the output of the threshold table would be. If
we look back to section 5.1.1, we can see that if that table recieves the value 125, it will output
the value 7. So after this step, the value we have is 7.
3 - We multiply the value 7 by the actual number of hours that the staff member had worked
(37), to get 259. In this example, we now know that that Alice has a potential bonus of $259.
4 - We then run that $259 through the “Weighting Muliplier” calculation block, which we
created in section 5.2.4, this calculation block itself has 2 steps.
5 - The “Weighting multiplier” block will take Alice’s 72% completion rate, and run it through
the bonus weighting table, as 72% (0.72) is higher than 65% (0.65) it will stay as 72% and the
result of that block is 72%
6 - The final step of this bonus structure calculation is to muliply the result of “Potential
Individual HP/Hour” by the result of “Weighting Multiplier”, which is $259 * 72% = $186.48, so
the bonus Alice would reieve would be $186.48 for that week.

5.6.3 Reporting Blocks
The last part of the bonus structure is to add what reporting blocks you would like to show on
the target board for your staff.
Click the “Add” button to add a reporting block to your display column, then use the dropdown
menu to select which reporting blocks you would like to display. The order they will show up on
the target board is defined by the order you place them in, in this section.
Using the example of Alice, along with the extra reporting blocks above, you would end up
seeing this on your target board.
5.7 Additional considerations and advanced setup
5.7.1 Operator precedence (lack of)
In real-life calculations (basic mathematics), there are rules on which operator is applied first in
an operation. For example, if you write “A = 3 + 2 x 5”, operator precedence dictates that you
must calculate “2 x 5” before you add it to 3 (because the Multiply operator has priority over the
Add operator). So, the result will be A = 3 + 10, which is 13.
To keep the ATG system easy to use, operator precedence is NOT IMPLEMENTED in the Bonus
Setup and calculations. Calculations steps are performed in a step by step, “first written, first
applied” manner.
If you need to perform the calculation in our example, you will need to either

35/ 62
ATG SYSTEMS – ABN: 82 140 289 309
PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
- Reorder the steps, writing 2 x 5 + 3
- Or create a sub-calculation block (B = 2 x 5), then use it into your original calculation block (
A = 3 + B).
5.7.2 Date range propagation
To create your calculation blocks and bonus structures, you can specify steps which apply on
specific date ranges. For example, you can have a bonus structure which depends on
- GP for the current week
- Hours for the current week
- Target Weighting s for the current week
- NPS score for the current month, and the 2 previous months
This is done by setting the date range for this part of the calculation.
Here is the bonus structure.
Bonus Structure:
The Date Range is not specified for the first 2 lines, and will therefore be the dates of the Target
Board. This is passed down the line to each Calculation Block.
The block “NPS Multiplier” is called with the date range “Month To Date + 2”. Inside this block,
we do not need to specify anything – leaving each line to “inherit” means it will automatically
pick up that date range (the one it has been called with). This is then passed down to the “NPS

PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
Score” block, which will read the Advocates, Detractors, and Surveys for the date range
specified.
This means you can use the same calculation block in several places. By calling it with different
date ranges, you will either get the figures for the current week, last 3 months, 6 weeks, etc.
5.7.3 Default values
When reading an Actual or a Target, the calculations will return “0” if no data is found. This is
fine most of the time, but in some cases it’s not appropriate.
For NPS, if there are no surveys, the NPS Score calculation block will return 0.
5.7.3.1 In Calculation blocks
When this score is used by a “NPS Multiplier” block, it gets fed into a threshold table, resulting in
a multiplier of 0.
The system provides a way to override that “0”, and to apply a Default score of 50 instead, so
the staff member will receive 75% of their bonus instead.
The fact that the NPS Score had returned a Default value will still be propagated to the previous
calling block (the Bonus Structure). The Bonus Structure can also override the default value of
“0.75” with something else.

5.7.3.2 In Reporting blocks
Default values can also be used in reporting blocks. They do not have any impact on further
calculations, but provide a way to see that there was no data.
5.7.4 Reporting Blocks merging and total
This aims to explain the main principles applied while generating the Target Board display. If
your Target Board is not displaying the data as expected and you are unsure what to do, please
do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
The Target Board page displays all staff members of a Business Unit in the same table. Those
staff members can be assigned to different Bonus Structures, therefore might want to display
different Reporting Blocks. This can potentially create conflicts.
5.7.4.1 Lines and Columns merging
Reporting blocks are assigned to a bonus structure with a specific order (basically their column
number) and will be merged depending on this.
Each line of the reporting block has a title. If 2 blocks define the same line (same title), then the
title is only displayed once, and each staff line will display the relevant value.
In some cases, we have staff that are on a completely different bonus structure, and the displays
will be quite different. In that case, some lines (titles) will be present in some reporting blocks
and not some others. Those cannot be merged, and will be added to the list of titles.
Example 1:
• Genevieve and Krishna are on different Bonus Structures.

ATG SYSTEMS – ABN: 82 140 289 309
PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
• Krishna and Genevieve’s bonus structures use different reporting blocks, which are very
similar.
o They both display the same first line (Title: “GP/Hour”, Source = calculation
block “GP/Hr”)
o They both have a second line that has for Title “Potential Bonus”. However, this
second line displays a value from a different Calculation Block.
o • Since both Reporting blocks define the same Title for both lines, these will be merged.
There will be only 2 lines created in the first Target Board column.
o The first line happens to display a value coming from the same source in both
cases
o The second line will be bringing value coming from a different source. In this
case it displays the Potential Bonus, calculated in a different manner depending
on each person’s Bonus Structure
o
Example 2:
o Chani is on a different Bonus Structure, which has some completely different
displays. The lines displayed have got different titles.
o

o Those lines cannot be merged, and will therefore be added separately
o Empty lines are created to keep things consistent, when a title doesn’t apply to a
staff member
o
Example 3:
o The previous screen copy also illustrates another point: some Bonus Structures
might display more Reporting Blocks than some others. In this case, Chani’s
bonus structure only displays 2 blocks, which Genevieve displays 3, and Krishna’s
displays 4.
5.7.4.2 Total lines options
This flexibility in displaying different data for different staff adds a level of complexity for the
“Total” line of the business unit.
When it comes to generating the display for the total line (Business Unit figures), the following
rules apply:
5.7.4.2.1 Calculate Total
When the Total type is set to Calculate, the BU Total line will combine data from all the staff
members associated to this Business Unit. It doesn’t matter what bonus structure is associated
to them, what their reporting blocks are, etc.
This is normally the safest option for sales figures (such as GP, GP/Hour, GP/Transactions),
targets achievement, and NPS scores. It ensures that data for ALL staff is incorporated, even if
they are not on a bonus structure, or if they are not set to display the value.
ATG Solutions User Guide
40/ 62
ATG SYSTEMS – ABN: 82 140 289 309
PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
The figure is calculated using the first valid source. Staff members are taken in consideration by
alphabetical order, the and find the first valid calculation for that Line Title, and use it across the
board.
Example:
- In the Examples from the previous subsection, Genevieve is the first staff displaying a
line called “GP/Hour”, and the value comes from the calculation block “GP/HR”.
- - Therefore the total line will be calculated by processing this “GP/HR” block, with figures
for all staff of the BU.
- - Note than Chani is displayed above Genevieve, but she doesn’t display a value called
GP/Hour, therefore we skip her and continue processing other staff members until we
find one with a valid calculation.
- Once we have found the calculation (for Genevieve), we do not process any other
definition. If Krishna uses a different calculation, it is not used for the total line.
5.7.4.2.2 Sum or Average Total
When the Total type is set to Sum or Average, the BU Total line will combine data from each
single staff member, depending on what is displayed for this individual line.
This is a useful option if you wish to combine data from slightly dissimilar sources. The most
obvious example is for Bonus Calculations. For example, we may wish to display the Total
Potential bonus that our staff may achieve. Staff members can be on different bonus structures,
therefore it wouldn’t make sense to use the same formula for all.
If a staff member is on a structure that doesn’t display that line (line title not found), then the
BU line will not incorporate any of its data.
Example:
- The first staff member displaying a line “Potential Bonus” is Genevieve, and specifies
“Sum”
- - The system will sum up all the values for each staff member, depending on the individual
source specified by each staff line.

ATG SYSTEMS – ABN: 82 140 289 309
PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
- Chani doesn’t have a value displayed for this line, so no data will be incorporated for her.
When using “Sum” or “Average” you must be very careful to define the display line for all
relevant staff member. Any misspelled title, or source not set properly, will result in wrong and
confusing data.
5.8 Customisation
The examples given here are just that, examples. The way the bonus structures are now set up
are designed to be entirely flexible and malleable to fit you and the way you want your business
to be run. You could go from as simple as the above system, to a complex as including product
specific incentives and NPS calculations can be brought into the mix too. Separate bonus
structures can be created for each business unit, or even separate bonus structures for new staff
or old staff. Bonus structures can also be created to cater to assigning bonus to your managers
based on business unit targets and GP, it is entirely up to how you want to run your business.

6.3 Import Incentives
Every target board keeps an internal copy of the bonus setup to apply. This allows your bonus
structures to evolve, while keeping consistent calculations for older target boards.
When creating a target board (first run of Target Board Setup), the system gets a copy of the
current Master version of Bonus Setup, and saves it inside the Target Board. This copy will not be
modified unless you choose to do so.
If you have made changes in your Bonus Setup and wish to apply those changes to an existing
target board, you can do it in this page. Click the Update button for the Bonus Structure you
wish to update, or click Update All to import the all Bonus Structures.

6.4 Select Staff
This screen displays the list of your staff members (extracted from your POS System database).
• On the left-hand-side you will see a list of your staff names as they are in your POS
system.
• You can get rid of the staff names you do not wish to be displayed in this screen
anymore, by clicking on the checkbox in the right-hand-side column “Inactive". To
display them again, check the bottom checkbox “Show All Staff”.
• The “Staff Name” column lets you set a display name different than the name in your
POS System, this will be the name that appears for that staff member across the ATG
website.
• For each staff member, choose which Business Unit they belong to in the Business Unit
column. Staff members that are not assigned to a Business Unit will be ignored by the
Solution, and their sales will not appear in any report.
• Then choose which Incentive Type is applied to each of them (See Error! Reference
source not found. Error! Reference source not found.4)
• If an employee is not spending all of its worked hours doing sales, then input the
percentage of hours worked on the floor in the “Floor %” column. For example, if one of
your employees spends 20% of his time doing admin work and the remaining 80% doing
sales, enter 80% (or 0.8) in this column. The system will take this into consideration to
calculate this person’s GP/hour. This will not be used for staff members whose incentive
types are not depending on hours worked.
• If you wish to give lower targets to someone (for example a trainee could have 50% of
the usual targets during his first 2 months), set a specific percentage in the Target%
column. This is used by the system to distribute targets to staff, which can be modified
manually later.
• Once you are finished editing, click Next.

6.7 Define Shop Targets
In this screen you define the targets for your business units.
• The Product Name column identifies the products or product types.
• The Core checkbox indicates an important target. Core products are displayed first in the
ATG Reporting Tool.
• The Total Target column shows the total of all business unit’s targets.
• The Target Type defines how a target works, and how its completion rate is calculated.
• This can be either a flat “actual target” or against another product, to be set as “ratio
of”.
• Every Target that is set for a Business Unit can impact the staff members’ bonuses,
depending on their associated Weighting. The weighting is a value between 0 and 1 (or
between 0% and 100%). The total of the weightings for any Business Unit should be 1 (or
100%).
• The %Weighting is used to give importance to a target. The higher the value, the more
impact it has on the Final Bonus of a staff member. If it is set to 0, it will have no
influence on the bonuses – therefore people will have less drive to attain it.

6.7.1 How to set up an Actual Target
This is used when you are targeting an actual number of elements to be sold, e.g. you want to
sell 8 New Business, and 20 New Consumer Voice Activations.
• If you consider this product to be a Core product, check the corresponding checkbox.
• Choose Actual Target in the Target Type column.
• For each business unit, enter their part of the target. For example, 8 for your Business
Centre and 20 for your Telstra Store.
• The Total Target column is calculated automatically
• Enter the %Weighting for each Business Unit.
6.7.2 How to set up a “Ratio of” target
This is used to target a ratio of a product, over another product. In this example, we show how
to target ARO $360 attachments against Mobile Devices on Contract ex TMB.
• Choose “Ratio of” in the Target Type column of ARO $360.
• Using the orange “Select” button, select the product “Mobile Devices on Contract ex
TMB”.
• For each business unit, enter their target. For example, if you want them to sell at least
50% $360 ARO attachment per device sold, enter “0.5” or “50%”.
• Enter the Weighting for each Business Unit.

6.7.3 Copying Targets
Instead entering all your targets for every period, you can save time by copying targets from an
existing period.
• First, if you would like to only copy the targets of selected business units, click on the “Filter
Business Units” button, and select the stores you would like to copy.
• Click on the drop down menu next to “Copy Period Targets” at the top of the page.
• Select the period that you want to copy from the menu that appears.
• Click the “Copy Targets” button, and you will see the targets from the selected period fill
into the target board.
• You can then click the “Filter Business Units” button to un-filter the page, and fill in the
targets of the business units that you haven’t copied.
Once all your targets are filled in, click “Next”.
If the Weightings do not add up to 100% for one of your Business Units, you will be asked to correct
them.

In previous versions of ATG, these bonuses were always added to the final bonus of the staff
member, regardless of the other calculations. Since version 2.0, it can be configured. The
amount earned is saved as a product, which can be read as an actual called ProductBonuses.
This allows you to integrate this amount at whichever step of the bonus calculation.
The amount of bonus earnt is calculated based on
• The staff member’s individual target (for this product, for the current target board)
• The staff member’s number of sales (for this product, for the current target board)
• The calculation type
• The Threshold
To add a bonus amount to a product:
• Scroll until you find the product you want to assign an incentive to.
• Choose a calculation type (explained in next subsection).
• Enter a threshold.
o This is a percentage value, such as 50%.
o It determines the lowest number of sales a staff member need to make to earn
the bonus.
o It is applied for each staff member, depending on their individual target for this
product (for this target board)
• Branches Sales Only:
o Tick this is you only want to count sales that have been made for Branches /
Companies linked to this Business Unit.
o It refers to the BU mappings done in Site Setup
o If this is not ticked, all of a staff member’s sales are counted to their total.
• Enter the Bonus Amount (in $) in the textboxes on the right.
o Each Business Unit uses its own amount
6.8.1 Calculation Types and Threshold
The following calculation types are available:
6.8.1.1 Pay if over threshold
The total amount is paid, if the staff member has reached his target as least partially (meets the
threshold).
Example:
• Bonus is $10 per new connect

ATG SYSTEMS – ABN: 82 140 289 309
PH: 0400 930 877 – EMAIL: support@atgsystems.com.au
• Joe’s target for this target board is 5 new connects
• Case 1:
o Threshold is 100%
o Minimum sale to get bonus is 5 x 100% = 5
o If John sells 4 or less, he will be under the threshold, and not earn a bonus
o If he sells 5 or more, he will reach the threshold, and earn $10 per sale ($50 for 5
sales, $60 for 6 sales, etc).
• Case 2:
o Threshold is 60%
o Minimum sale to get bonus is 5 x 60% = 3
o If John sells, 2 or less, he will be under the threshold, and not earn a bonus
o If he sells 3 or more, he will reach the threshold, and earn $10 per sale ($30 for 3
sales, $50 for 5 sales, etc).
• Case 3:
o Threshold is 0%
o Minimum sale to get bonus is 5 x 0% = 0. Any number of sale will qualify for the
bonus
o If John sells 0 he will not earn the bonus
o If he sells 1 or more, he will earn $10 per sale ($10 for 1 sale, $20 for 2 sales,
etc).
6.8.1.2 Pay ratio if over threshold
A ratio of the amount is paid, if the staff member has reached his target partially. The ratio
applied is the threshold reached, which is = Sales / Target (capped at %100).
This is a way of giving a partial bonus to staff that get close to their target. It is to keep staff
motivated if they know they probably won’t reach their target, but they are getting close.
Example:
• Bonus is $10 per new connect
• Joe’s target for this target board is 5 new connects
• Case 1:
o Threshold is 100%
o This specific case (threshold = 100%) is equivalent to Case 1 of “Pay if over
threshold”
o Minimum sale to get bonus is 5 x 100% = 5
o If John sells, 4 or less, he will be under the threshold, and not earn a bonus
o If he sells 5 or more, he will reach the threshold of 100%, and earn $10 per sale
($50 for 5 sales, $60 for 6 sales, etc).
o
• Case 2:
o Threshold is 60%
o Minimum sale to get bonus is 5 x 60% = 3

o If John sells, 2 or less, he will be under the threshold, and not earn a bonus
o If he sells 3 or more, he will reach the threshold, and earn $10 per sale, to which
we apply the threshold reached multiplier.
▪ 3 sales:
• threshold reached is 3/5 which is 60%.
• John will earn 60% of the $10/sale.
• Bonus earned = $10 x 3 sales x 60% = $18
▪ 4 sales:
• threshold reached is 4/5 which is 80%.
• John will earn 80% of the $10/sale.
• Bonus earned = $10 x 4 sales x 80% = $32
▪ 5 sales:
• threshold reached is 5/5 which is 100%.
• John will earn 100% of the $10/sale.
• Bonus earned = $10 x 5 sales x 100% = $50
▪ 6 sales and over:
• Threshold reached is capped at 100%
• John will earn 100% of the $10/sale.
• Bonus earned = $10 x number of sales
• Case 3:
o Threshold is 0%
o Minimum sale to get bonus is 5 x 0% = 0. Any number of sale will qualify for the
bonus
o If John sells 0 he will not earn the bonus
o If he sells 1 or more, he will earn:
▪ 1 sale:
• threshold reached is 1/5 which is 20%.
• John will earn 20% of the $10/sale.
• Bonus earned = $10 x 1 sales x 20% = $2
▪ 2 sales:
• threshold reached is 2/5 which is 40%.
• John will earn 40% of the $10/sale.
• Bonus earned = $10 x 2 sales x 40% = $8
▪ 3 sales and over:
• Same as Case 2
6.8.1.3 Pay each over target
The bonus amount is paid for each sale exceeding the staff member’s target. The threshold is
not used.

6.9 Define Staff Targets
In this screen, you can specify each target, for each employee.
On the first run of the Target Board Setup for a period, the system calculates and distributes the
targets to your staff, depending on their hours worked, Floor% and Target%.
These are only pre-sets and can be modified in this screen. Once this is set, it will be saved, and
not automatically generated again if you run the Target Board Setup for the same period again.
• The upper portion of this screen displays your staff members, and all their targets. You
can modify a target by selecting it and changing the value in the table.
• The lower section of the screen gives an overview of the targets set for Business Units,
and the total of targets allocated to staff members. If not all targets are allocated, this is
displayed on a red background (green otherwise).
• By default, products which have no shop targets are not displayed. If you want to display
them, untick the “Hide Products Without Store Targets” checkbox.
• Once you are satisfied with your targets, click on the Next button

6.9.1 Re-Distributing and Copying targets
At the first run of a Target Board, the targets are automatically distributed to staff depending on
their hour’s, business unit, floor time, and target percent.
If you run the Target Board Setup again and make changes to your Selected Staff, Business Units,
or Targets, the targets you have previously saved are not changed automatically (this is to
ensure that the values you have entered manually are not lost).
If you wish to re-distribute your targets to your staff, you can do so at any time by clicking the
“Redistribute Targets” button.
To copy targets from a previous weeks, follow the steps in 6.7.3.

10 Reports
10.1 About the Reporting Tools
Once you have set up your targets for the current period, use the TargetBoard page of the ATG
website to display current sales and bonuses. Making those visible on a large screen display in

to sell to meet their target and get a better bonus!
This is an excellent motivation tool, and the most important feature of the ATG Solution,
because it boosts your store’s incomes and helps you meet your business’s targets.
Other pages of the website display reports of sales per product, day, sales person etc, for you to
have the detailed reporting you need.
