Menu Tree

A Menu Tree determines which events are available to an employee posting time and to the employee’s supervisor when modifying the employee’s timecard. A Menu Tree is assigned to an employee via the Web Terminal Menu setting.

The event’s in a person’s Web Terminal Menu will be restricted based the person’s Event Filtration setting and any posting restrictions the event has.

A Menu Tree (the Web Terminal Menu setting) can be assigned at the System level, to an Employee Group, or to an Employee. Menu Trees are also assigned to Terminal Profiles (in the Menu Group Name field). The Web Terminal Menu setting will override the Terminal Profile’s Menu Group for the Web Self Service Time Card, Web Time Clock, Mobile Client, and Mobile Web Application.

A Menu Tree can also be assigned to a supervisor using the Web Terminal Manager Menu setting. The events in this menu will only display to the supervisor (in the Supervisor Review timecards).

You cannot modify or delete the system default Menu Tree (TERMINAL_DEFAULT). However, you can copy the TERMINAL_DEFAULT Menu Tree and modify the duplicate as necessary.

When you finish modifying a Menu Tree, click Update Server to update all active terminals with your changes.
