Glossary 99 APPENDIX B Glossary Access Level A term that specifies the type and amount of information a user may see when running reports. Accrue, Accrual A means for allowing users to accumulate time off over a period of time (by time off code), at a frequency set up by the administrator (either globally or per user). Time & Attendance Edition only. Activity A method for categorize time users work. In the Project & Billing Edition, activi- ties can be tasks common to multiple projects. For example, a consulting com- pany may have a set of core tasks that must be completed for every project they work on, such as budgeting, design, and testing. Instead of adding these tasks to each and every project they create, the tasks can be defined as activities that users can select when entering time. Approval Indication that timesheets, time off bookings, and expenses are correct. De- pending on the selected approval process, project leaders, clients, and super- visors can approve, reject and/or comment on items. Approval Forwarding See Substitute User on page 105. Approval Path The process by which users' timesheets/expenses are submitted for approval. Approval paths may contain up to five levels, and may include approver types for project leaders, clients, supervisors, and/or other specified users. Approval paths are assigned to individual users in the user profile. Approval Sequence A term that specifies the order in which approvers will review and approve/reject users' timesheets, time off bookings, or expenses. Approver Type A term that identifies the approvers used in approval paths. The approver type may be a supervisor, project leader, client, or other individually named user with approval responsibilities (e.g., time off approver). Arbitrary E-mail Address An e-mail address that may be entered "on the fly" when a user requests an of- fline timesheet. ASP Implementation See Replicon-Hosted/SaaS Implementation on page 104. Audit Trail A means for tracking the timesheet save and approval history. The audit trail keeps a record of every time a timesheet is saved, who saves it, and what the total hours were at the time of the save. It also tracks the approvals (each time the timesheet is edited, approved, or rejected, and which approver performed the edit/approval/rejection). Banked time Time off awarded to employees in lieu of overtime. Banked time is allotted at the overtime rate (or pay code) specified in the user’s overtime rule. Time can be banked automatically, based on selected conditions in the user’s overtime rule, or it can be user banked, if the user is granted Choice to bank time if possible permission. Time & Attendance Edition only. Base Currency The default currency used for all cost and time calculations. All costs are con- verted to base currency at the specified conversion rates.
