Selected Elements

The Selected Elements tab on the Charge Filtration form defines the charge elements that are included in your Approval Groups and Filtration Groups.

For a Filtration Group, the Selected Elements tab defines the charge elements to which users assigned to this group can post time.

For an Approval Group, the Selected Elements tab defines the charge elements that supervisors (defined on the Managers tab) can view and approve on the Invoice Approval form.

Note that the Selected Elements tab applies only if you have any value other than ALL selected as the Element Name on the Charge Filtration form. If the ALL value is selected, then all values for all elements are available and the Selected Elements tab would not apply.

Charge Filtration Group Assignments

On the Setting tab of the Employee form, employees can be assigned to an E_<Person Number> charge filtration group and a C_<Company Number> Charge Filtration Group. When an employee is assigned to these filtration groups, the employee can only charge time to the active charge elements in these filtration groups.

The E_<Person Number> Charge Filtration Group identifies Project Workforce projects. Only employees associated with the project (via the E_<Person Number> Charge Filtration Group) can charge time to these projects. This charge filtration group is named E_ followed by the employee’s Person Number (e.g., E_1001 for Person Number 1001).

The C_<Company Number> Charge Filtration Group means any employee in the company can charge time to these items.
