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.
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.

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.
