Miscellaneous

Show Employee ID

Select Show Employee ID to make the Employee ID visible to the user throughout Deltek Time & Expense with ESS.

When Show Employee ID is checked, the Employee ID appears in the Control Number field on employee paychecks and W-2s. When Show Employee ID is unchecked, the Employee ID is replaced on these screens with a series of X’s ( for example, XXXXXXXXXX).

Show Employee ID in Workflow

Select Show Employee ID in Workflow to include an e-mail sender's employee ID in the body of any e-mail sent from the Time, Expense, or ESS modules.

You can suppress the sender's employee ID by leaving Show Employee ID in Workflow unselected.

The From line of the e-mail displays the address of the module from which the e-mail was generated. To identify the person who sent the e-mail, the recipient must refer to the body of the message, where the sender's name is automatically displayed.

You will not be able to turn this feature off once you have checked it and have imported Costpoint company data. If you do so, the system will display the following error:  "Value cannot be changed from ' Y' to ' N' because Costpoint Company records exist in the Costpoint Company table."

See Special Topic: Costpoint Multicompany for details.
