Adding Users
73
If the user is using a login name and password specific to Web TimeSheet, enter the pass-
word for the user. Depending on the System Preferences, there may be requirements for
the number and type of characters in the password.
If the user is using Windows NT authentication, enter the Windows NT domain the user is
defined in.
If the user is using Active Directory authentication, edit the Active Directory domain the
user is defined in, if necessary.
If the user is using SAML authentication, there is nothing to enter.
If Integrated Windows Authentication is enabled, enter a dummy value.
Advanced Tab
In the Advanced tab, you must specify:
1. General user settings, including their supervisor and hourly payroll rate
2. The approval paths for the users timesheets, expense sheets, and time off bookings
3. Values for any user defined fields you created
4. Which activities the user can select on their timesheet, if applicable
5. Substitute users you would like to assign to the user. (Once your system is implemented, users can
also set their own substitutes via Settings > Substitute Users).
6. Other miscellaneous user settings such as which overtime and validation rules to apply to the users
timesheet
The sections that follow provide information on some of these options.
Assigning a Timesheet Period to a User
By default, users will be assigned the System timesheet period. If you choose to create periods based on
employee types or departments, when adding users you must specify their employee type/department and
the type of timesheet period to use in their timesheets. For example, consider a timesheet period created for
the employee type Full-time Salaried. When adding a user who requires this timesheet period, you would
set the following:
Employee Type to Full-time Salaried
Timesheet Period to Employee Type
Assigning Rules and a Work Week to a User
You can assign an overtime rule and a validation rule to a user so that those rules will be applied to their
timesheet.
While you can only apply one of each rule at any given time, you can apply different rules at different times
by entering an effective date for each rule assignment. For example, you can assign:
OTRule1 effective January 1, 2008
OTRule2 effective January 1, 2009
Any time entered for dates between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008 will use OTRule1. Time en-
tered for January 1, 2009 or after will use OTRule2.
When editing an existing user, the user's password will appear as a blank field. This
is for security purposes and does not mean you have to enter a new password.
