CHAPTER 12
Adding Users
This chapter provides information on final steps to complete before adding users, and then how to create
users so they can begin entering time, time off, and expenses.
Items to Set Up before Adding Users
Before users are added, the following must be configured:
Setting System Preferences for Users
In the System Preferences, you can specify default values for a number of fields, so these values will be
selected automatically when you add a new user. You can also specify formulas so user fields will be auto-
matically filled out.
User-based system preferences and defaults can be set at:
Administration > System > System Preferences > Employees section
In this section, you can configure:
1. The default number of hours per day
2. The default work week, used for overtime calculations (Time & Attendance Edition only)
3. The default time zone
4. The formula to use for login names. If you specify a formula, the Login Name field will automatically
be filled in when you enter a user’s first and last name.
5. The formula to use for e-mail addresses. If your company’s e-mail addresses follow a consistent for-
mula, such as firstname.lastname@company.com, you can specify this formula here to have the In-
ternal E-mail Address field automatically filled out.
6. Whether the current timesheet, or the user’s earliest unsubmitted timesheet displays by default
7. The default weekly days off
8. The default holiday calendar
Setting Default User Preferences
User preferences define the system-side, default display settings for Web TimeSheet users. Users can
change their preferences from the default by selecting Settings from the top menu.
