Memorized Entries

Help Contents

Memorized Entries is located under Management-->Memorized Entries.
Memorized Entries allow you to save users' most common tasks, expenses, or custom entries so that they do not have to repeatedly select them in their timesheets, expense sheets, and custom entry sheets. A Memorized Time Entry contains a single Project, Activity, Pay Type, Bill Type, and Comment. After a time entry has been memorized and assigned to users or Groups, it will appear in all of those users' timesheets thereafter. Those users then only need to specify the hours, if any, for that task. Similarly, a Memorized Expense Entry contains a single Project, Expense Code, Currency, Source, and Comment. After an expense entry has been memorized and assigned to users or Groups, it will appear in those users' expense sheets thereafter. Users then only need to add hours, if any, for that task. Similarly, a Memorized Expense Entry contains a single Project, Expense Code, Currency, Source, and Comment. After an expense entry has been memorized and assigned to users or Groups, it will appear in those users' expense sheets thereafter. Users then only need to add an expense amount. Similarly, a Memorized Custom Entry contains a single Project, Reason, Measurement, Vehicle, and Comment. After a custom entry has been memorized and assigned to users or Groups, it will appear in those users' custom entry sheets thereafter. Users then only need to add the actual distance traveled.
