TimeCard Configuration Options

The TimeCard Configuration Options page allow an administrator to configure general settings for the TimeCard module. Only users with super administrative rights can access these options.

To configure TimeCard configuration options:

1. Open the Administration Menu page.

2. Under the TIMECARD TE ADMINISTRATION heading, click Configuration Options.

3. In the Enforce Manager Security field, select a value.

   Set this value to Yes to allow TimeCard managers to view time cards for all employees they oversee based on the Manager Employee Setup. Set this value to No to allow TimeCard managers to view all user's time cards on properties that both the manager and user have security rights to.

4. Specify labor hour entry limits.

   These hour limits are only validated when a user tries to lock his time when he is finished entering time for a particular date. For example, if the regular hour limit is eight hours and a user tries to enter nine regular hours, an error message will appear and the user will not be able to lock his time.

   • Regular Hours Limit – Specify the maximum number of regular hours a user can enter into a time card for a particular date.
   • DT Hours Limit – Specify the maximum number of double-time hours a user can enter into a time card for a particular date.
   • OT Hours Limit – Specify the maximum number of overtime hours a user can enter into a time card for a particular date.

5. Specify a Labor Reason value to control how and when the Labor Reason field is displayed on the TimeCard Entry and Work Order Financial pages and the TimeCard Detailed Print report.

   • Do not display – the Labor Reason field does not display
   • Always display as optional field – the Labor Reason field displays, but entering a value is optional
   • Always display as required field – the Labor Reason field displays and users are required to enter a value
   • Displayed and required only when OT/DT entered – the Labor Reason field displays and users are required to enter a value, but only for overtime and double-time labor entries

6. Skip the Send Approvals Notifications flag and the Notify When No Approver Select link.
   These features are not currently implemented and will be more fully defined in a future release of the system.

7. Click UPDATE.
