Add a Time Group and Assign Employees to It

You use time groups to organize employees by groups for timesheet entry, editing, submitting, approval, and posting purposes. You add a time group and assign employees to it in Time Settings.

If you have multiple companies, you must complete these steps for each company.

To add a time group and assign employees to it:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Settings > Time > Time Groups.
  2. On the Time Groups form, click +Add Time Group in the Time Groups grid.
  3. Enter a time group in the blank row that is added to the grid.
    • In the Group field, enter an alphanumeric code to identify the time group.
    • In the Description field, enter a description for the time group.
    • If you have previously selected the Enable Timesheet Assist checkbox on the Time Groups form, use the Prompt With Assist checkbox in the grid to determine whether you want employees in the new time group to receive a prompt to complete timesheets by the timesheet due date. The prompt displays when an employee logs in to Vantagepoint on the number of days that you specify before the timesheet due date in the Number Of Days Before Due Date field.
  4. Click at the end of the row and select Assign Employees from the shortcut menu.
  5. On the Assign Employees to Group dialog box, select the employees to assign to the expense group.
    • To assign all employees to the group, select the Available Employees checkbox.
    • To assign specific employees to the group, select those individual employees in the list.
  6. Click .
    The employees that you selected are moved to the list of employees for the group on the dialog box.
  7. Click Apply.
    The entries that you made on the dialog box are saved, and you are returned to the Time Groups form.
  8. On the Time Groups form, click Save.
