icon at
the top of the screen or you choose Preferences from the Self Service
menu.The Preferences Policy is used to assign Preferences settings. Preferences affect the way data appears on the timecard.
You can use this policy to change the Preferences for a group of time reporters. For example, if you want timecards to display decimal hours (e.g., 2 ½ hours display as 2.5 instead of 2:30), create a Preferences Policy with Duration Format set to DECIMAL.
You can assign a Preferences Policy to an Employee Group with type FACILITY or POLICY_GROUP via the Employee Group Setting form, or to all users via the System Settings form.
Each person can still change his or her Preferences using the Preferences pop-up form.
