Records Management

Help Contents

Records Management is located under Management-->Records.
Records Management allows you to create time, expense or custom entries that will be placed in the selected users' timesheets, expense sheets or custom entry sheets. You can also modify entries that already exist in users' sheets.

 

Time Records

To create a new entry to be placed in users' timesheets, go to Management-->Records-->Create Time Entries. This will direct you to the Time Entry Creation screen (see figure 14.1). Specify the users within the Groups that you wish to assign the entry to. For the time entry, specify the Date, Project, Activity, Pay Type, Bill Type, Hours, Minutes, and Comment. Then specify whether the entry will be committed or not. When you commit an entry, it will be approved and can no longer be modified regardless of whether the selected users' timesheets are approved or not. When finished, click the Create button.

User Sheet Deletion

Under Management-->Records-->Delete User Sheets, you also have the option to delete sheets that were created erroneously. This scenario usually arises from users navigating to periods in the past or future by accident and thereby "creating" the sheet for email notification purposes. The User Sheet Deletion screen allows you to search for user sheets and delete any that have 0 hours associated with them.
