Fields

Field	Description
Labor Period Ending	This field displays the end date of the timesheet period you currently have selected. Use the drop-down list in this field to select a different timesheet period. The entries that you make in the Labor Period Ending and Group fields, along with the options that you select under Status Totals, determine which employee timesheets display on the Select Employee Timesheet dialog box. Vision automatically updates these items when you change your timesheet period, group, or status selections.
Week Number/Timesheet Period Number	If timesheet period numbers are enabled for the active company, this field displays the period number for the currently selected timesheet period. If the company has weekly timesheets, the field label is Week Number. If the company has a timesheet period other than weekly, the field label is Timesheet Period Number. If timesheet period numbers are not enabled, this field is not displayed.
Group	Use the Group drop-down list to select the employee group whose timesheets you want to display on the Select Employee Timesheet dialog box. Only those groups to which you have access appear in the drop-down list. To view employee timesheets for all groups to which you have access, select [All Group]. The entries that you make in Labor Period Ending and Group, along with the options that you select under Status Totals, determine which employee timesheets display on the Select Employee Timesheet dialog box. Vision automatically updates these items when you change your timesheet period, group, or status selections. If you use the Multicompany feature, only those groups to which you have access, in the active company, appear in the Group drop-down list.

Status Totals	This section displays a breakdown of employee timesheets by status: Missing, In Progress, Submitted, Approved, or Posted. The number in the field to the right of each Status value indicates how many timesheets of that status exist for the timesheet period and employee groups displayed on the Select Employee Timesheets dialog box. The total number of timesheets of all status types displays in the Total field. The Approved field displays only if your system administrator selects Require timesheets to be approved before posting on the Setup tab of Company Timesheet Configuration. You can use the Status Totals section to control which timesheets display on the Select Employee Timesheet form. When you open the dialog box, all the Status Totals options are selected.
