Timesheet Search Options Maintenance

Each screen within the Time and Attendance system that lists timesheets features a Search section that allows users to search for specific timesheets. An example of this is highlighted below.

Open

It is possible to configure the default date that is selected in the Week Ending Date To field within the Search section. This field determines the latest week ending date of timesheets to be included in a timesheet search.

By setting a default date for the Week Ending Date To field in the search options, users do not necessarily have to select a date in this field each time they conduct a timesheet search.

The default date is specified relative to the current calendar week. For example, if you want users to find timesheets that are valid for the current week by default without the need to manually select a date in the Week Ending Date To field, you can configure the default date to be relative to the end of the current week.

To specify the default date, you can select the number of calendar weeks in advance of the current week that the default date must fall within. You can then select the day of the week on which the default date must fall. For example, if the current date is 15/07/2010 and the default date is configured to be one week in advance and to fall on a Sunday, the default date selected in the Week Ending Date To field will be 25/07/2010.

The default date can be set as between zero weeks (current week) and twelve weeks in advance.

The timesheet search options are configured via the Recruitment Maintenance area within the General item in the Time and Attendance section.

To configure the timesheet search options, follow the procedure below. A separate default setting exists for Agency User and Client / Candidate User, and a checkbox to apply User Profile Search Defaults.
