Charge Element Filter

The Charge Element Filter tab on the Charge Filter Policy form allows you to configure which charge types (such as Work Order and Project) are enabled for filtration. When a charge type is enabled for filtration, the user assigned to the Charge Filter Policy is only allowed to charge time to the charge elements defined for the charge type in the user’s Charge Filtration Group. If no elements have been defined for the charge type, the user is not allowed to charge time against it.

You create the policy on the Charge Filter Policy form and assign the charge types you want to enable for filtration on the Charge Element Filter tab form.

Note that the Charge Element Filter does not apply if you have checked the All Charges box on the Charge Filter Policy form.
