You can use the calendar in the Time Manager’s Workplace to select the time period for which you want to process or display time data. Using the calendar, you can also enter data for the entire period at the same time.

A period is automatically selected when you access the Time Manager’s Workplace. You define the duration of this initial period when you customize the profile settings in the IMG for the Time Manager’s Workplace.

If you want to process another time period, you can choose one of the following navigation options:

You can use the mouse to select a day or period.
You can scroll forwards and backwards.
You can use a Business Add-In (BAdI) to store customer-specific periods as default values.
You can choose a pushbutton to navigate back to the current day.

Note

The scrolling, customer-specific periods, and go to current day functions are available only in the calendar with the enhanced navigation area. If you want to use this calendar, select it in the Implementation Guide for Personnel Time Management under Time Manager’s Workplace -> Screen Areas -> Choose Calendar.
