Setting time card customization options

The instructions below tell you how to customize the time card screen.

To set time card customization options

1. On the e-timecard Initialization screen, click the Time Card Setup tab.

2. Under the User-defined columns heading, click on the first dropdown arrow and select the first user-defined column that you want to appear on the time card. These are your options:

   • Org9

   • Location

   • Cost Element

   • Contract Labor Category

   • Work Order

   • Estimated Hours

   • Remarks

   • Special Pay Code

   • Special Amount

   • Budget Hours

3. Click on the dropdown arrow in the second row for this column and select Display-Only or Editable. For some fields, only one option is available, and you cannot change it.
   
   Depending on your choices in the previous two steps, dropdown arrows for the third and/or fourth rows may not appear, in which case you can skip a step that does not apply.

4. Click on the dropdown arrow in the third row for this column and select whether the field is Required or Optional.

5. Click on the dropdown arrow in the fourth row for this column and select the validation type. Your options are Soft Error, Hard Error, and None.

6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each user-defined column that you want to appear on the time card. They will appear in the same order that you select on this screen.
   
   Hint: You do not have to set seven user-defined columns. This is simply the maximum number. Once you have set all the user-defined columns that you want to appear, just accept the None default for the remaining dropdown lists.

7. In the last row, click on the first dropdown arrow and select a description to appear as display-only on the time card. These are your choices:

   • Long Job Description

   • Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)

   Repeat this step if you want to display both descriptions on the time card, noting that Long Job Description is available only in the first dropdown list. If you do not want to display either description, accept the default of None in both fields.

8. For the Default Org9 from (user-defined label) field, select either Employee or Job.

9. When you have made entries under all of the e-timecard Initialization tabs, click Save.
