The table below describes the specific preferences that can be set using the Preferences drop-down menu on the Timecard Manager.

Rows per Day (x)

Specifies the minimum number of rows per day to be displayed in the Single Employee Timecard Manager. To change the number of rows displayed, place your cursor over the "Rows per Day" option and then move the cursor to the right to open the submenu and select the new number of rows. This setting initially defaults to 1, but it can be set to any value from 0 to 12. If 0 is selected, only rows containing reported time will be displayed.

This preference is available only when the Preferences drop-down menu is opened from the Single Employee Timecard Manager.

Rows per Employee (x)

Specifies the minimum number of rows per employee to be displayed in the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager. To change the number of rows displayed, place your cursor over the "Rows per Employee" option and then move the cursor to the right to open the submenu and select the new number of rows. This setting initially defaults to 1, but it can be set to any value from 0 to 12. If 0 is selected, only rows containing time entries or payroll adjustments will be displayed for each employee.

This preference is available only when the Preferences drop-down menu is opened from the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager.

Show/Hide Unscheduled Days

Specifies whether every day that falls within the date range being viewed is displayed in the Timecard Manager. If "Hide Unscheduled Days" is selected, only days that contain scheduled or reported time will be displayed and an "Add Dates" link will appear near the top of the Timecard Manager to allow you to add rows for the unscheduled days if necessary. If "Show Unscheduled Days" is selected, the default number of rows per day will be shown for every day in the selected time period being viewed, even if no employee records or time pairs exist for some of the days.

Show/Hide Lookup Button

For the Single Employee Timecard Manager, controls whether the lookup button (Select) is displayed when a field that requires a valid code is clicked. If you know the specific codes used in these fields and you prefer to type them in manually, set this option to Hide Lookup Button. If you later find that you need the lookup button (for example, to select a rarely-used earnings code), you can use the drop-down menu to change this option quickly.

For the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager, controls whether the lookup button (Select) is always displayed next to fields that require a valid code. If you know the specific codes used in these fields and you prefer to type them in manually, or if you have many columns in your Timecard Manager view and you want to maximize your screen space, set this option to Hide Lookup Button. If you later find that you need the lookup button (for example, to select a rarely-used earnings code), you can use the drop-down menu to change this option quickly.

Show/Hide Employee Name

Specifies whether employee names will be visible on the Multiple Employee Timecard. For security, you may wish to hide employee names. (Employee IDs will always be visible.)

This preference is available only when the Preferences drop-down menu is opened from the Multiple Employee Timecard Manager.

Do not clear on insert / Clear on insert

Specifies whether data is copied when a new row is created using the Insert or Add Rowbuttons. If "Do no clear on insert" is selected, newly inserted rows will contain the same data (minus any associated notes) as the rows from which they were cloned. If "Clear on insert" is selected, new rows will be blank except for the date.
