Enforcing Time Entry Options

Previous: Providing access to Lock-related functions

  1. Click the Time Entry Options button to view the Time Entry Options panel.

    System Configuration: Enforcing Time Entry Options

    Use this panel to enforce the Time Entry Options for all users who have not set their own Time Entry Options (using the Time Entry button in the System Configuration tab).

    The following table describes the various items in the Time Entry Options panel—

    Item... Check/Select this item to… Default Value
    (if any)
    Default start time for time entry Force the Time Entry dialog box to display the default start time specified in the Time Entry Options screen.
    Day View time intervals in minutes Force the Day View screen to display the time using the interval specified in the Time Entry Options screen.
    Day View first time Force the Day View screen to begin display of time intervals with the first time slot as specified in the Time Entry Options screen.
    Day View last time Force the Day View screen to end display of time intervals with the last time slot as specified in the Time Entry Options screen.
    Time spent only on Timesheet View Display the Time Spent Only field in the Time Entry dialog box when an employee opens it from the Timesheet View screen.
    Time spent format Force the Day View screen to use the time spent format specified in the Time Entry Options screen.
    Show totals by employee Reporting Period Force the Task Totals and Sheet Total on the Timesheet View to display the total for the user’s Reporting Period, irrespective of the period that the user is currently viewing in his/her Timesheet.
 

Tip: Click the Check All button to check all the check boxes. Similarly, click the Uncheck All button to clear all the check boxes.

  


 

Tip: Sometimes you may need to check most of the items, but keep only a few unchecked. A quick way to do this is to click the Check All button (to check all the items) and then individually uncheck the items you don’t want selected.

  


 

Note: Time entry options can either be set by individual users (if they are given access to the Time Entry Option area of the System Configuration tab), or can be enforced via the Security Policy assigned to the user.

When these options are enforced via the Security Policy assigned to a user, he/she will no longer be able to change the settings (even if the user has access to the System Configuration tab). As long as the settings are enforced via the Security Policy, the options that have been enforced will appear disabled or grayed out in System Configuration tab.

When the settings are enforced by a Security Policy assigned to some users, it only affects those users who have not changed the default settings. If a user has changed the default settings, the user’s settings are not affected by the enforcement. However, as long as the settings are enforced, the user will not be able to change the settings.
