Contents of the Timesheet Due Alert Configuration Form

Use these fields and options to set up timesheet due alerts based on a new or existing rule.

Field Description
Employee Group Rules
Employee Groups Select the employee group to which you want to apply the new rule, such as Administration or Engineering. Or, select [All Groups], which allows you to create global alert rules for all employee groups without having to create redundant rule settings for each group. Groups are created in Time and Expense Configuration.
Alert Rule Name This field displays the names of existing alert rule(s); or, if you are creating a new alert rule, enter the name of the rule. You can change the name of an existing rule; however, all alert rule names must be unique.
Languages This column displays if you use the Deltek Multilingual application. Use this column to select the language for this alert. Only employees with the selected language receive the alert. However, if you leave this column blank, all employees receive this alert regardless of their designated language. For example, if you create an email alert for English US and English UK, then only the users that have English US or English UK in the Language field in the Employee Info Center receive that message. The system administrator must set up a separate alert rule for Spanish employees to receive a message in Spanish. The Language field displays <languages selected> if any languages are selected.
Due Date Options You can select one or more of these options.
Send alert on due date Select this option if you want an alert to be sent on the day that the timesheet is due.
Send alerts x days before due date Select this option if you want an alert to be sent the specified number of days before the timesheet is due.
Send alerts x days after due date Select this option if you want an alert to be sent on the specified number of days after the timesheet is due.
Time of day to send alert Select the time of day you want an alert to be sent. The time you enter is for the time zone in which the Deltek server is located.
