Time Configuration: UDT Options

Use this tab to configure the user-defined tables (UDTs) for Deltek Time. The UDT labels display as specified in the General Configuration screen. There are specific guidelines for how these UDT tables must be configured for certain financial systems. Please see the Deltek Time Collection Getting Started Guide for more information. Besides configuring UDTs, you can specify the signature and approval text in this tab.

Locale

The locale controls which configuration settings are being added, edited, or deleted. A company can have numerous configurations, each based on a different locale.

Locale is a non-editable field that displays the locale code followed by the locale description. When the screen is first loaded, the default locale is based on the systems default country and language code. When the system is shipped, the default Locale is set to "US/en."

With the release of Deltek Time\Expense\Self Service  7.1, the following additional locales are supported:  

To change to a different locale, use the search option. Only locales defined in the General Configuration screen are available when searching.

Information entered for the default Locale is used for all locales you have set up in the system.  The Signature/Approval Text field in the UDT Options tab and the Rate 1 and Rate 2 labels in the Miscellaneous tab are locale specific, meaning they can be different for each locale.

Table Window

The first, untitled column is hard-coded for each of the user-defined tables. You cannot edit or move them.  

Label

This non-editable column displays the label defined in the General Configuration screen, depending on the locale being viewed.

Required

Select this checkbox to make this field a required entry on the timesheet.  The UDT01 and UDT10 Required columns are always checked and cannot be changed.

Default

Select this checkbox if you want the UDT ID default to be calculated. The default will come from the employee's history record, if one is present. If not, the system will default to the first valid UDT value based on the ID.

Validate

Select this checkbox if you want the UDT value to be validated during timesheet entry. If you are not using the UDT, this checkbox will be disabled. There are numerous validations that can occur when you exit a cell. Following are a few examples:

The UDT01 and UDT10 Validate columns are always selected and cannot be changed.

Show

Select this checkbox if you want the UDT to display on the timesheet.

Print

Select this checkbox if you want the UDT to appear on printed copies of the timesheet.  The first six UDTs that are used and designated for printing will print on the timesheet.

Signature/Approval Text

Use this section to specify the text that employees see when they enter their passwords during the signature process or when supervisors approve their employees' timesheets.

If you specify approval text in this screen, supervisors will be required to enter their passwords for the first approval within each user session. The text supplied here will display in the Approve Timesheet dialog.

If you do not enter approval text, the Approve Timesheet dialog will not display.

Signature/Approval Drop-Down Box

Select the type of text that you are entering. The available options are "Signature" and "Approval." By default, "Signature" displays.

Signature/Approval Text Box

Enter the text, up to 254 characters, that will display to employees when they sign their timesheets or to supervisors when they approve timesheets.
