Projects Tab of Employee Info Center

Use the Projects tab to associate one or more projects with an employee. You associate a project record with an employee record by adding it to the Projects grid on the Projects tab. Both records reflect the association.

Contents

A project record must exist in your database before you can associate it with an employee record.

If you use Multicompany, the following applies:

• The data that you enter on this tab applies to the company that the current record is associated with.
• The tabs and fields that display are based on the company that the current record is associated with. For example, if the employee is associated with four different companies but only one company has access to Vision Payroll, the Payroll tab of the Employee Info Center only displays when you are viewing that company's record.
• The values that are available in the individual fields and lookups are based on the company that the record is associated with. For example, only timesheet groups that are associated with the current company are available in the Group drop-down list.
• If the Automatically retrieve your record in Employee Info Center/Employee Review option is selected in User Options, the employee record that automatically loads is for the home company that is associated with the current record. If the record is associated with multiple companies, the home company record displays first.
