Time Settings
Use Time Settings to set up and maintain timesheet periods, time groups, time categories, and non-work days. You also determine some of the items that employees can or must enter on their timesheets, such as overtime, electronic signatures, and comments.

If you have multiple companies, you must enter Time Settings for each company. The currently active company displays at the top of each Time Settings tab. Use beside the active company name on the right side of the title bar to switch to a different company and enter settings for that company.
The options that you set up in Time Settings apply only to the Timesheet application in the My Stuff section of the Navigation pane. They do not apply to the timesheet transactions that you enter in the Transaction Center in the desktop application.
In addition to the settings in Time Settings, other settings in the following locations also affect how the Timesheet application works:
- Settings that you enter on the Time & Expense tab in the Employees hub affect timesheet entries on an employee-by-employee basis.
- Settings that you enter on the Accounting tab in the Projects hub in the desktop application affect timesheet entries on a project-by-project basis.
