You use the collective time confirmation if you:

• Enter large numbers of time completion confirmations into the system
• Rarely make entries on the confirmation detail screen
• Have not planned the majority of the orders to be confirmed comprehensively

The orders to be confirmed must be released.

The collective time confirmation can address the following employee roles:

• Employees in data entry teams from organizations, in which mainly time data is used
• Service technician
• External service employee
• Foreman
• Technician

You use the collective time confirmation to confirm times for operations and sub-operations.

The following functions are available by choosing the Goto and Environment menu options:

• Attendances/absences
• Time collation

When entering collective times, you are working with two tables. Note the following:

• In the upper table, you enter data that is valid for all the operations in the list. You can save this data specific to the user so that it is proposed again when you choose the multiple entry function.
• In the lower table, you enter the data for the individual operations.

The default data from the upper section is set in the entry fields for the lower section when you choose Continue.

For both tables, you can set individually which columns should be visible and in which sequence they should appear. When printing, you can also decide individually which columns should be printed.
