Time entry rules

The time entry rules that you set up decide which of the following fields are hidden and which are available for employees and managers when they complete time entry tasks:
  • Position
  • Job
  • Location
  • Organization Unit
Time entry rules are defined by eligibility group. If a rule is defined with no eligibility group selected, it is applied to all employees that do not meet the criteria of any group on another time entry rule. Time entry rules are defined separately for employees and managers so different fields can be available for different roles.

If the user chooses not to specify anything in an available field, the value from the work assignment is used for the time record. If the user specifies a value in an available field that is different from the value on the work assignment, the specified value is used for the time record. Administrators can always see and update the time record fields controlled by time entry rules, and can see which time record fields have been overridden by a user.

When a work assignment is updated, any related open time records are also updated, except for values in fields that have been overridden.
