| ChargeTypeElemChangeWarning (parm_id = 780801) | This parameter determines whether a change
of utility grid config setting in the
General tab warning will
be shown when sequence # or BOb element name of (Hourly) Charge Type have been
altered, added, or removed. If the utility grid is disabled, it should be set
to false.
The default value is false. No Dependencies Is Not Customer Editable |
| connect.displayLateTSApproval (parm_id = 3136022 ) | Use this parameter to display the late
timesheet approval portlet. Valid values are:

comma-separated string of project review activity numbers. For any of the
review activity in the string, the project manager will only see the line items
with the project codes that belong to them.
The default value is 72275. No Dependencies Is Not Customer Editable |
| HideOverrides (parm_id = 3041468) | This parameter determines whether manager
overrides can be shown to the document creator. For example, approved hours
field and audit trail in the document note. Used for filtering based on

| ts.AbsenceActivityList (parm_id = 78137) | Use this parameter to specify a
comma-separated string of activity type numbers. If a project code’s activity
type is in this list, this project code is considered as an absence code. For
any time code (same as project code, it displays on the
Timesheet tab) with the
activity in the string, the In/Out fields will be disabled and the Time Off
(Hrs) field will be enabled.
Java’s Attendance tab enables the fields based on the selected charge code, but the HTML client enforces the logic on the server. Because line item hours are also calculated on the server, the Hours field is generally empty except when viewing existing line items. Because the HTML client does not support TSAttendanceLineItems, some documents created in Java cannot be opened with the HTML client. This can create a proxy limitation since proxies view documents with their own client type, not the type in which the document was created. For example, created with Java client but attempt to view with HTML client can fail. No Dependencies Is Not Customer Editable |
| ts.attendanceInOutCount (parm_id = 3134813) | This parameter controls the number of in/out
time pairs available for editing the timesheet attendance product on the

The default value is false. This parameter is dependent on the TS Profile attendanceApplicable and ts.attendanceUsesTab application parameters. Is Not Customer Editable |
| ts.BillableRateApplicable (parm_id = 78142) | This parameter determines whether the
billable rate is applicable in
Infor TS.
If it is not applicable, then the TSBillableRateScreenApplicable parameter is
not applicable.
When the existing ts.BillableRateApplicable parameter is set in Java, a default billable rate is calculated for the line item based on charge code, role, and so forth. The HTML version provides similar functionality. By default, the field attributes set the billable rate field/column to hidden during create mode. Usually only managers need to see the rate but the value should be calculated by the system regardless. The default value is true. This parameter is dependent on the TSBillableRateScreenApplicable application parameter. Is Customer Editable |
| ts.calcCalendarTotalsOnClient (parm_id = 3137966) | Whether the calendar table should use

This must be one of the tab names specified in alct_tab_panel_tab_settings. Currently for TS:
One limitation for the HTML client version of Infor TS is that import is only available from the Header screen if the user’s default tab is the Calendar tab, configured using the TSStartupTab application parameter, and the tab is initially editable, configured using the ts.editGridOnCalendarTabStartup application parameter. This limitation occurs because the calendar table save logic must be run on the imported data, but could result in business rule violations that require complex user interaction and screen navigation. To work around this limitation the calendar table should be initially visible and editable allowing the system to copy the imported data into the table. The user must click and application will behave as if the data had been manually entered. You must configure the TS Profile to determine which tabs the system displays. The Calendar tab must be on of those tabs configured to display for this application parameter to function. The other HTML applicaitons do not have configurable tabs and always start on the Overview tab. The default value is Calendar Tab. Dependencies ts.editGridOnCalendarTabStartup Is Not Customer Editable |
| TSTotalHoursType (parm_id = 78049) | This parameter determines how the total
hours for a timesheet will be calculated.
