Require an Employee to Track Time on Their Whereabout Entries

Depending on your role in WorkBook, you can require selected employees to track their time on whereabout entries. This is useful if you want to compare the whereabout hours with the time sheet hours when approving time sheets. To require an employee to track time on their whereabouts, Company Variable must be set to 3 - Required for Some Employees.

Note: To complete this task, you must have access to Allow time entry as defined in the employee cross-company setup under Settings.

1. On the main toolbar, click Settings .
2. If you have more than one company in your system, use the drop-down list above the left pane of the Settings screen to select the company containing the whereabout type that you want to activate time tracking for.
3. In the left pane of the Settings screen, click Company Settings > Company Variables.
4. In the Find Setting Number field, enter 74 and select 3 - Required for Some Employees from the drop-down list.
