Changed lines 3-8 from:
You'll find a simple table for staff on the Settings screen. If you add your staff members' FileMaker account names they'll be able to see [[OnlySeeMyEvents | just their items]] in Active Projects and "Pinned" contacts.
You may also want to record staff as contacts in their own right in the Contacts table, usually using one of the "tag" options to mark them as such. This way you can record multiple addresses, phone numbers, etc. as well as have them participate in all the other things you can do with "real" contacts: even invoice them. Of course if you only have a few staffers you may not need to enter them into Contacts at all.
Note that the staff "shortname" is the key used to link staff to events in the calendar, and to projects. Keep it short.

There is no separate "Staff" table in SeedCode Complete, though you may wish to add one. If you do, you'll base the Staff and Staff Full Name value lists on fields in your new table.

We then maintain two separate value lists of staff: "Staff" and "Staff Full Name".
!! What is the difference between the value lists Staff and Staff Full Name?
"Staff" is used as a key linking staff hours to projects (if you're using time tracking) and linking staff to events more generally. Note that you may choose to record your staff in [[resources]] instead of or in addition to recording them in the "staff" value list.
"Staff Full Name" is for when a staffer's name needs to appear somewhere customer facing: on something you print for example.
