Whereabout Settings to Enable Time Tracking

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

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

• Active: This column indicates if the whereabout type is active and available to be selected.
• Time Tracking: This column indicates if the whereabout type can be used for time tracking. If this checkbox is selected, the whereabout type is available only for employees who are required to track time.
• Require Time Entry: This column indicates if the whereabout type requires time to be filed against it or if it allows zero-time input. For example, to allow an employee to track a skipped lunch break due to a short work day, clear this checkbox.
• Time Interval: This column indicates the increment, in minutes, that time is tracked. For example, you can specify 15-minute or 30-minute increments.
• Include in Time Tracking Calculations (Agent): This column indicates if the time entered as the whereabout time should be 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, clear this checkbox.

Note: These settings can be changed per company.

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