Whereabout Settings to Enable Time Tracking

Use Whereabout in the Employee Settings submodule in the Settings module to set up the whereabout types that are required in whereabout entries and time tracking.

To enable the time tracking functionality, use the following columns:

• Active: Indicates whether the whereabout type is active and available for selection.
• Time Tracking: Indicates whether the whereabout type can be used for time tracking. If this check box is selected, the whereabout type is available only for employees who are required to track time.
• Require Time Entry: Indicates whether the whereabout type requires time to be filed against it, or whether it allows zero-time input. For example, to allow an employee to track a skipped lunch break due to a short work day, deselect this check box.
• Time Interval: Indicates the increment, in minutes, in which time is tracked. For example, you can specify 15-minute or 30-minute increments.
• Include in Time Tracking Calculations (Agent): Indicates whether the time entered as the whereabout time is considered against the daily time entry. For example, to require an employee to track time on lunch breaks, while excluding that time from time tracking calculations, deselect this check box.

Note: You can change these settings per Company.

You can also use Company Variable 77 to prevent employees from manually changing the default time stamp sequence.
