Layout of a Day’s Information

Use

The Time Manager's Workplace enables you to view all time information required for evaluating a day at a glance. The information for the day is divided into various categories. This categorization ensures that the most important information on the day, the planned specifications, and additional time entries are always displayed in the same position in the time data maintenance views.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Features

You process the information for a day in the following categories:

Dominant: The most important item of information for that day is displayed in the dominant line. This enables you to determine an employee’s availability at a glance. The dominant always represents whole-day information.

Example

In general, the personal work schedule valid for this day is displayed as the dominant. If, however, an illness or leave record exists for this day, the applicable time data ID (for example, an "I" for illness or a "V" for vacation) appears as the dominant.

The same applies if you assign the employee a different shift: The new shift then appears in the dominant line.

Information from the following infotypes can be displayed in the dominant line:

Planned Working Time infotype (0007)

Absences infotype (2001)

Attendances infotype (2002)

Substitutions infotype (2003)

Planned working time: The employee’s personal work schedule is displayed in this area. If there is currently no change to the employee’s planned working time, the employee’s regular work schedule is displayed.
Time data for the day: Whole-day or partial-day time entries such as attendances and absences or employee remuneration information are displayed in this area.

The dominant is always the principal entry in all views. If a day’s time entries are collapsed in the multi-person view and the multi-day view, only the dominant information is displayed. If you want to enter time data quickly in such a case, you can overwrite the dominant. When you choose ENTER, the day is expanded and the time entry is listed under the day’s time entries.
