The table below describes the specific preferences that can be set using the Timecard Manager Preferences window.

Default View

Specifies whether the Timecard Manager will open in the Multiple Employee or Single Employee format.

If you change this setting, the change will not take effect immediately. After you click Submit, the Timecard Manager will open in the format you were viewing before clicking the Preferences link. The default view setting will take effect after you leave the Timecard Manager and then access it again.

Multiple Employee - Default Date

Specifies the day for which time pair information will be displayed when you access the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager. This preference is initially set to Today, but you can change it to Tomorrow or Yesterday, or you can use the "Today +/- Days" option to specify a day that is a specific number of days before or after the current day. For example, if you want the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager to display data from 3 days ago each time you open it, select "Today +/- Days" and enter -3 in the text box. To set the default to four days after the current day, enter 4 in the text box.

Notes:
The text box only applies to the "Today +/- Days" option. If you have selected a different option and then enter a number into the text box, the option will change to "Today +/-." You can enter a number between -31 and 31, where negative numbers indicate days before today and positive numbers indicate days after today.

This setting will take effect immediately. After you click Submit, the Preferences window will close and the Timecard Manager will be displayed using the new default dates (if in Multiple Employee View).

Additional Fields to Display

Allows you to select which (if any) optional fields to display in the Timecard Manager and to change the order in which optional fields will appear. The left box lists the available optional fields that can be added to the Timecard Manager display and the right box lists which optional fields have already been added. The optional fields are the Labor Charge, Shift Override, Rate Modifier, and Edit Reason Code fields.

  • To add one or more fields to the Timecard Manager, click the field name(s) in the left box and then click the Add button. (Hold down the Ctrl key to select more than one field at a time.)

  • To remove one or more fields to the Timecard Manager, click the field name(s) in the right box and then click the Remove button. (Hold down the Ctrl key to select more than one field at a time.)

  • To change the order in which the optional fields appear, select from the right box the field you want to move and use the Down and Up buttons to move it up or down in the sort order as necessary.

Notes:
Your selections and sort order changes will not be saved until you click the Submit button. After you click the Submit button, the Preferences window will close and the Timecard Manager you were viewing will be displayed with the new optional column settings.

If you include the Rate Modifier or Shift Override fields in the Timecard Manager, the data from these fields may be displayed in the following reports: Timecard Report, Timecard Report with Notes, Timecard with Payroll Report, or Timecard Exception Report. (Contact your administrator to find out if your company is configured to display this data in reports)
