Using the Select Element Dialog Box

In many of the dialog boxes in Office Timesheets, when you click on the The Ellipsis button button, Office Timesheets displays the Select element dialog box.

The following table describes the various items found in the Select element dialog box—

Item How to use the Item Default Value
(if any)
Names To refer to a particular item, select the name from this list.

OR

To refer to all the items in this list, select {All}.

For example, while assigning Regional Options to employees, if you click on the The Ellipsis button button to select an employee's name, the Select element dialog box will appear. If you select an employee's name, the Regional Options will be set for that employee alone, whereas if you select {All}, the Regional Options will be set for all the employees. (Click here for more information on setting Regional Options settings.)

 

Tip: In some instances, if an element has already been selected and you want to remove the selection, you can click on the The Ellipsis button button and select {No selection} in the Select element dialog box.

  
Status If there are too many names in the Names list, you can filter the entries by selecting from the Status drop-down list. Select Active to view only the active users, or select All to view all the users. Active
Group

If there are too many names in the Names list, you can filter the entries by selecting a group or department from the Group drop-down list. For example, you could select Public Relations to view only those employees from the PR Department.

 

Tip: In some instances, if you want to select the entire group, select the name of the group in the Group drop-down list and select {Group} in the Names panel.

  
 {All}
Actions The Actions panel at the top left corner of the Select element dialog box, contains buttons for either accepting or rejecting your changes.
The OK button Click the OK button to confirm or accept your selections and close the Select element dialog box.
The Cancel button Click the Cancel button to close the Select element dialog box without accepting your selections.

 

Note: You can also click on the Close button at the top right corner of the Select element dialog box to close the dialog box without accepting your selections.
