Time Input Lines
Time Input Lines are used to collect and complete time transactions and when complete register the lines in Time Sheets. The time transactions are, primarily, created by starting and stopping resource tasks. Besides that they can be created by importing the lines from external time capture systems. This import feature is not part of Resource Management. STAEDEAN recommends to use Connectivity Studio as a connector.
Process
- When a Resource Task is started a time input line is created with the start date and time and the status Open.
- When a Resource Task is stopped the time input line is updated with the stop date and time and the status is set to completed.
- Completed time input lines can be processed to the status Registered with the Register action.
Notes
- Resources must be instructed to stop their task at the end of a workday and start the task again on the next workday in order to create correct time entries
- Please check the notes on the Resource Task page for the correct procedures.
- Time input lines must be linked to a Resource for which "Use Time Sheet" is True. Resource Tasks can only be started by individual Resources.
- The register process can be automated by adding the IEMRM Process Time Input Line report to a ProjectQueue.
- Time sheet lines, created by the process time input line report, can be automatically submitted for approval/posting with the setting: Auto Submit Time Sheet in Resources Setup. In this way you can automate the time registration process all the way to the approval/posting step.
