Form	Description
Summary	This form shows you all of the work that you have done on the other forms.
Options	Use this form to make basic decisions about how employee timesheets will work, including the increments in which time can be tracked, whether employees can enter overtime hours, and whether an employee signature is required. See the Timesheet Overview help topic for more information.
Time Periods	Use this form to set up timesheet periods. Employees must enter a timesheet for each timesheet period.
Non-Work Days	Use this form to identify the days of the week and the holidays on which employees are not expected to work.
Time Groups	Use this form to set up time groups to distribute timesheet administration responsibilities among different administrators. For example, you can use time groups to bring together employees who share the same job function, work in the same department, or work in the same office. After you set up a time group, you can assign employees to it.
Time Approvals	Use this form to determine if you will use an approval workflow to have leaders approve employee timesheets. You can choose among several workflow options. See the Approvals Center help area for more information about approval workflows.
Time Categories	Use this form to specify that certain common time categories, such as vacation and administration, should display automatically on timesheets, to save employees time. You can have a time category display on timesheets for all employees or for only those who belong to specific time groups.
