Changing the Data Entry Period

Use

You always access CATS classic using a special key date. The key date determines the week, month, and so on, which the time sheet displays.

The system selects the key date according to the current date. You define how the key date relates to the current date for each data entry profile . The system can always choose the previous week as the key date, for example.

You can change the data entry period in CATS classic views without having to call the time sheet again.

Note Note

The key date is a system default value. You can overwrite the key date at any time in the Time Sheet: Initial Screen .

You can use your data entry profile to enter the data for a full week.

When entering data for the week December 8 through December 14, you discover that you still have data to enter for the previous week. You change the data entry period to the week December 1 through December 7.

End of the note.

Your data entry profile determines the earliest and latest date to which you can scroll. If you reach the upper or lower limit of the data entry period, the system notifies you with a message.
