Period Text

In Period Text, you can enter up to 10 characters of text for each timesheet period you set up. This text is then displayed in parentheses following the period ending date in the Timesheets screen and when you print timesheets.

Here are two ways you might use period text:

If Allow Timesheet Period Text is not checked in the Time Configuration screen, the Period Text field is not available.

Modify Missing

Modify Open

Select this checkbox if open timesheets can be changed for this period.

Leave this checkbox blank to lock timesheets for exporting.

OK

Select the OK pushbutton to close the Edit Period dialog box and to populate the Timesheet Schedules screen table with the updated period information.

If you change the Start Date and timesheet cells already exist from before the new date, the system will display the following error message: "The Start Date cannot be changed for this schedule because earlier timesheet cells already exist for this schedule."

If you change the End Date and timesheet cells exist after the new date, the system will display the following error message: "The End Date cannot be changed for this schedule because later timesheet cells already exist for this schedule."

Cancel

Select the Cancel pushbutton to close the Edit Period dialog box and return to the Timesheet Schedules screen.
