Daily Tab – Self Service Time Card

The Daily tab on the Self Service Time Card displays all the event hours you posted during a specific day.

On the Daily tab, you can add, modify and delete both elapsed and punch transactions. Note that you cannot modify automatic punches such as transactions posted automatically from a person's schedule, Late Arrivals, Early Departures, Gap Events and Outside Gap Events.

If you do not have an effective Pay Policy for the date selected in this tab, then no timecard data will be shown.

The tasks you can perform on the Daily tab (Find, Next, Sign, etc.) must be enabled in your Security Role in order for them to display in the form.

The fields that are visible on the Daily tab are based on the Form Profile of the logged-in user.

Fields on the Daily Tab

Note: The fields that are visible on the Daily tab are based on the Form Profile of the logged on user, not the Form Profile of the employee whose timecard is showing. You can show or hide these fields by modifying your Form Profile.

The Daily tab of the timecard has two sections: a Filter section and the timecard section. The Filter section is used to select which day to display (see “Find Records” below).

You can show or hide fields on this tab by modifying your Form Profile.

You can change the names of these fields using the Dictionary Label form.

Display Daily Time Card Data

Note: The fields that are visible in the Daily tab are based on the Form Profile of the logged-in user. You can show or hide these fields by modifying your Form Profile.

The left grid of the Daily timecard displays the charge items and descriptions.

The right grid displays the duration details posted to the charge item, and the total hours charged to the item. If your Form Profile allows, you may also see comments and/or reason codes that were entered during a transaction.

You can scroll each side of the Daily timecard separately using the horizontal scroll bars on the bottom of the form.

The format of the hours shown on the timecard is determined by your Duration Format setting in the Preferences form. The options are CLOCK (HH:MM:SS), or DECIMAL (0.00).

Standard rounding rules apply to the timecard. Time entered in the timecard is automatically converted, stored, and displayed according to the applicable Rounding Policy. For example, if a person’s rounding interval is configured to be “Nearest Six Minutes” and the duration amount of 1:05 (one hour, five minutes) is entered into their timecard, the system will convert, store, and display the time as 1:06 (one hour, six minutes) to conform to the time rounding rules. The system applies the Rounding Policy of the person whose timecard is being modified. If a supervisor is modifying an employee’s timecard, the employee’s Rounding Policy is used. In the Self Service timecard, the logged on user’s Rounding Policy is used.

If you have the Show Adjustments check box marked in your Preferences settings, the timecard will display any adjustments that have been made to elapsed or punched transactions. The adjusted hours will stay visible on the timecard, but will be grayed out with a line through the entry. The adjusted hours will not count towards the total hours. To hide the adjusted hours, clear the Show Adjustments check box on the Preferences form.
