Time Sheet References Workspace
Use this workspace to specify the activity references that employees can use in the Time Sheets workspace.
When you enter time in the Time Sheets workspace, you can enter values in the Time Activity 1- 3 fields and the Amount Activity 1 - 4 fields, in addition to the Monday - Sunday fields. These fields let you record time and expense amounts that are independent of the activity entered on the current time sheet line. Instead, the time and expense amounts are associated with activities specified in the Time Sheet References workspace.
These references are to activities that you have already set up in the Activities workspace.
Examples
- In the Time Activity 1 field, you specified the Transport activity. In the Time Activity 2 field, you entered the activity Working after hours.
- In the Amount Activity 1 field, you entered the activity Subsistence Allowance.
Example 1—In the sub-tab of the Time Sheets workspace, you specify a job number, an activity number (used for meetings with customer), and a quantity (6 hours) in the Monday column. In the Time Activity 1 field on the same line, you enter the quantity 2. The result is that 6 hours of customer meeting time is entered, along with 2 units of the activity Transport.
Example 2—A consultant works for 10 hours for a customer. Two of those hours are after normal working hours. The employee is also entitled to subsistence allowance. In the Time Sheets workspace, she registers 10 hours of the activity External Meetings. In the Time Activity 2 field on the same line, she enters the amount 2, for two hours of working after hours. Finally, in the Amount Activity 1 field, she enters the quantity 1, for one unit of subsistence allowance. This way, the consultant does not need to enter working after hours and subsistence allowance on separate lines in the time sheet.
