  • There's a Quick Action tile on the home page UI for Time Sheet Approval Center.

  • Using the Time Management Configuration Search, you can identify time recording profiles associated with Time Sheet Key Fact Configuration.

  • You can now view the monthly time sheets for employees on the Time Sheet Approval Center page. The status of the time sheets can be either To Be Approved or To Be Submitted. We provide support to the Payroll relevant time containers.

  • As a manager of an employee working in France who is a day recorder, you can now view the time recording in days on the Time Sheet Approval Center page.

  • If you amend a time sheet that was already approved, you can now see the values which were recorded before the amendment was made along with the current value. You can see the previous values for Record Working Time and also for Key Facts that include Time Type Group and Allowance.

LINKTIM-45456LOD-SF-TTR-TMS
SF Time TrackingMonthly Calendar View in Time Sheet UI (Universal Feature)
We've added a monthly calendar view in Time Sheet that allows employees as well as managers and administrators in on-behalf mode to get an overview of the employees' attendance and absence recordings in a calendar month. Now all Time Tracking customers can use this feature without having to contact Product Support.
 
Compared with previous release,
  • You can filter for working times, on-call times, allowances, or absences. In the calendar view, the number of items in a calendar day is limited to either 2 or 3 items. As a result, many items are hidden. The filter helps you to fill in your time sheet completely. Holidays and non-working days are not affected by this filter.

  • All days of the currently selected time sheet have a white background.

  • You can now use the copy feature to copy entire weeks in your time sheet.
