Edit Reasons

• I can't find an appropriate edit reason code in the list of available codes in the Edit Reason Lookup window. What should I do?

  The Edit Reason Lookup window only displays those edit reasons that have been set up by your system administrator and/or ADP Time & Attendance Representative. If you feel that another code is needed, contact your manager.

• Why do I need a default edit reason code?

  requires that each edit you make to an employee's record has an edit reason code associated with it. This allows a person viewing the edit audit trail to know why an edit was made. The Time & Attendance module automatically assigns your company's default edit reason code (usually "EDIT") to each change you make to an employee's record. However, you also have the option to select a default edit reason code that is different from your company's default code. The code you select will then automatically be assigned to changes you make unless you manually select a different code when you make an edit.

  For more information about setting a default edit reason code, see Configuring Your Default Edit Reason .

User Emulation Options

• I need someone to approve and edit my employees' timecards while I am away, but I don't want to be responsible for edits made by my colleague. How are edits by managers who are emulating other managers recorded in the edit audit trail?

  The edit audit trail always identifies the actual individual who makes each change, even if that person was emulating another manager.

• I logged out while I was emulating another manager. What will happen when I log back in?

  The next time you log in, no emulation will be active. To resume emulating another manager, go to the Options page, click Emulate, select the manager to emulate, and click Submit. See Configuring User Emulation for more information.

• I have authorized my colleague to emulate me so that he can approve my employees' timecards while I am on vacation. Will he be able to see my personal timecard information too?

  Your colleague will not be able to view your timecard information or other personal data (unless he is your normal manager or a practitioner). In other words, user emulation only affects information accessible in the manager role.

• Can I remove someone from my list of authorized emulators?

  Yes. You can add names to and remove names from your list of authorized emulators at any time. See Configuring User Emulation for details.

• My colleague asked me to approve his employees' timecards, but there is no Emulate option on the User Emulation page and it says that I am not set up to emulate any users. What do I do?

  The message indicates that the manager who asked you to cover for him has not yet added you to his list of authorized emulators. He must add you to this list, as described in Configuring User Emulation, before you will be able to view his employees' records.

• How do I stop emulating another manager?

  To stop emulating another manager, click the Options link . On the Options page, click User Emulation, click the Emulate check box (to clear it), and then click Submit. The change will take effect as soon as you open a new page.
