NOTIFY_EMPLOYEE_OF_TS_EDITS

Description:

This parameter determines whether a notification is sent to employees when overrides are created on their timesheets by another user.

When set to True, if users create overrides on timesheets other than their own, a notification is sent to the employee whose timesheet is being modified. In addition, a notification is sent when any change is made to employee data on the Employee Basic Information - Override page or through the Employee Import, as these overrides trigger a change on the timesheet of the employee.

By default, the notification contains this message:

User {0} made edits for work date {1} @ {2}

The message parameters are as follows:

  • {0}: User who performed the edit.
  • {1}: Date of edited timesheet in the SHORT_DATE format.
  • {2}: Date/time the edit was made in the SHORT_DATE_TIME format.
  • {3}: Employee full name of the user who performed the edit. This parameter is not shown by default.

You can alter the message in the notification by editing the TS_EDITS_FOR_WORKDATE message in Maintenance > System Administration > Data Localization > Error Translation.

For example, you can modify the default message to include the employee name:

User {0} - {3} made edits for work date {1} @ {2}

When set to False, no notifications are sent.

Note: This parameter has no effect for the WORKBRAIN or SYSTEM user.
