This guide provides an overview of the steps needed to configure the Timesheet component for your company. It covers the following areas:
Note that there is plenty of on-screen help when managing any of these elements so make sure you have both the introductory help panel expanded and turn on the help when editing any of the items.
Firstly, the HR suite is secured under a HR Administration system security right so you'll need to grant this System Security Right to yourself and any HR administrators via a Security group or to individuals via Personal Security.
Steps:
Go to Users Security, select a Contact and assign the HR Administration Personal Security Right to this person or...
Go to Security Groups, choose a group and add the HR Administration to this group
Don't forget to log out and back in in order to gain this security right
Note: This system security right is only required for Managers and HR administrators and not required by the rest of the staff entering timesheets.
You'll be setting up a HR Channel shortly and will require a Content Security Right for your staff to access this Channel.
Step:
Create a Content Security Right for users to be able to access and fill in timesheets, e.g. HR Content Security Right
In order to access the HR suite, you'll need to create a HR Channel and Responsive Skin with Prime Content area.
Steps:
Create a Skin, a simple, generic one will do. It must have a Prime Content Design Element on it, preferably set at 100% width.
Create a Channel of HR channel type, assign the above Skin and previously created Content Security Right. Select the 3 Hide options, Hidden, Hide From Site Search, Hide From Search Engines on the Channel.
The chargeable and nonchargeable activities are selected via Topic Lists.
Steps:
You will need to create two topic lists: Chargeable and Nonchargeable
