to the Policy Name field and selecting Add, Lookup, or Maintain.The Event Setting tab on the Event Policy form is used to define event restrictions. These restrictions determine whether the user can add, modify, or delete certain events in the timecard. You can also restrict users from replacing punch events and indirectly modifying punch events.
Event Setting restrictions can be defined for all events of a specific type, or for specific events.
When an Event Policy is assigned to a person via the Event Policy setting, then the restrictions defined on the Event Setting tab will apply to the Self Service Time Card.
When an Event Policy is assigned to a person via the Event Setting Manager Policy setting, then the restrictions defined on the Event Setting tab will apply to the Supervisor Review timecard.

Policy Name
Name of the Event Policy. You can find, add, copy, and
delete these Policy Names by clicking the button next
to the Policy Name field and selecting Add, Lookup, or Maintain.
Event Type
Type of event that is being restricted by this policy.
Event
Name of a specific event that is being restricted by this policy. Will display ALL EVENTS if all events of the specified Event Type are being restricted by this policy.
Setting Type
Indicates whether a specific action is allowed for the event in the web timecard. For example, the ALLOW_ELAPSED_ADD setting indicates whether users will be able to add the event using Add Elapsed in the timecard.
The available Setting Types are:
See Add Event Setting Restrictions for information on how to add these settings to the policy.
These settings can also be modified for an Event or an Event Type. By default, all these settings are True, meaning there are no restrictions on these actions.
If a setting is not included in the Event Policy, then the Setting defined on the Event form will be used.
Not that the available Setting Types will depend on the Event Type you selected. For example, Late Arrival and Early Departure events only have the ALLOW_PUNCH_REPLACE setting. These events are posted automatically and the Replace Punch option is the only way to modify these events in the timecard.
Setting Value
Displays TRUE or FALSE to indicate whether the action specified by the Setting Type is allowed or not.
If the Setting Value is TRUE, then the action specified by the Setting Type is allowed. For example, if ALLOW_PUNCH_ADD is TRUE, then users will be able to add punch events to the web timecard.
If the Setting Value is FALSE, then the action specified by the Setting Type is not allowed. For example, if ALLOW_PUNCH_ADD is FALSE, then users will not be able to add punch events to the web timecard.
