Settings of the Online Time and Attendance System - Options

1 View the Timer

You can disable the display of the Timer. Time entries will then be created and edited exclusively in the timesheet. To hide the Timer, the employee needs the 'Permit to edit own time entries'.

2 Timer tolerance +/- minutes

Here you can specify by how many minutes the employee can correct the Timer's check-in and check-out times. This is useful, for example, for considering some home-to-office time or if you want to allow your employees to adjust the working time to a 'round lot'. If this tolerance is set to 0, no time correction is possible when checking in and out, and the exact, actual time (rounded to the minute) is used.

3 Enable comments for time stamps

An additional comment can be entered for each time entry.

4 Enable custom fields for time stamps

One or more custom fields (key figures like travel expenses or material used) can be added to each working time entry. If custom fields are used, the custom fields types can be customized in the custom field menu. See also Configurable custom fields.

5 Lockable time entries

Time entries can be closed (e.g. at the end of the month). This option - to protect time entries from being edited - can be switched on here. A corresponding button for locking is then displayed in the timesheets. You can find more information about this under Lock time entries.

6 Enable projects

Each time entry can be assigned to a project if this option is enabled. If the option is disabled, all project-related display elements are hidden. See also: Create a new project.

7 Enable clients for projects

If you also want to assign your projects to corresponding customers (clients), please activate this field. Without this option, all customer-related display elements will remain hidden.

8 Selection for large number of projects

Usually, you select the project for a time entry using a simple drop-down list. With a large number of projects, this type of selection becomes impractical. This customized project selection provides a solution: It is designed for many projects and featuring, for example, a convenient search function. This option may only be displayed once you have a certain number of projects.

9, 10 Show attendance list

Here you can set whether the attendance list should be displayed only for the admin and the timesheet manager, or for all users, or not at all.
