How to make the project time sheet category mandatory in the time sheet portal after clicking add to time sheet from the task list

Ken65 — Sat, 12 Oct 2019 11:54:18 GMT

After clicking add to time sheet from the task list, an entry is created. The project time category drop down is not required and defaults to None when the time card is saved. Looking to make that drop down mandatory. Please advise. thanks

Hi Ken,

You can make the field mandatory. You need Admin level access. The screenshot shows there is a check box for Mandatory

Hi Andrew

This works fine in the time card form, however, the time sheet portal doesn't appear to adhere to dictionary settings

Hi Ken,

Sorry not a Portal guru, you could try a UI Policy maybe. Sorry not much help

I have implemented a solution although a bit of a hack. The time sheet portal doesn't appear to adhere to the dictionary configurations for a property to be mandatory. In the save function in the time card main container widget, I added an explicit check for a value in the field in the record coming into the function. Threw an alert and return false if validation failed. Thanks Andrew for your reply.

Found a pretty straight-forward solution for this. Try a data policy on time_card table. Condition: State = Submitted (OR State = Approved (if auto-approving timesheets)) AND Category is Project/Project Task.

Data policy rule on project_time_category = mandatory.

This should work in time sheet portal.

Block dates in Time sheet portal

How to block dates in Time sheet? Lets say we have a holiday on Feb 15th, and would like to block this date in Timesheet, meaning users should be restricted to enter their sheets & the particular date should be greyed out.

Hi @GregF2

Thank you for your solution. I have implemented this data policy, when trying to submit a time card without notes the data policy is triggered and an alert pops up that the field is mandatory. However, after completing the mandatory field and then trying to re submit there is some issue. Not able to submit as the same alert pops up even if the mandatory field has been completed. Can you assist please?
