NOTE:

This works since New York release, and still work on the latest Washington release.

 

The script "Time Card Grid - Version 8.2.1 Quebec, Rome.txt" must be used for all versions since Quebec.

To benefit of the "Show time off days", which reads the data from the resource_aggregate_daily table, set the system property com.snc.resource_management.generate_daily_aggregates = true as this table is not populated by default since Quebec version for new installations.

 

The new version 9.0.0 brings two new features:

"Show time off days" can show the user calendars, or can show a specific calendar as a company calendar.

"Grouped resources" is available when the Employee Profile plugin is installed, to manage contract and labor pool resources, and to enter big effort amounts, per week or on the last day of the month. If new resources are created to use the grouped resource feature, don't forget to check the timecard license with the sales account manager.

 
TOPIC:

I have been asked by my customer to manage time sheets in person-days; which is a common practice in EMEA.

I could answer 'Yes' with some changes to the Time Sheet portal.

I know this is almost a mandatory requirement in EMEA to implement time sheets in person-days instead of hours, and this why I share this.

To manage person-days is set in the time sheet policy. It is possible to have a multiple time sheet policies to manage hours and person-days, with different hours per day.

With the time and other customers, new features have been added to the Time Sheet Portal.

All details are in the attached pdf file.

 

SETUP:

The setup script "Time Card Grid - Version 8.1.1 New York, Orlando, Paris.txt" for versions prior to Quebec has been removed, assuming everyone should be on a more recent version.

 

The setup script "Time Card Grid - Version 8.2.1 Quebec, Rome.txt" works for all version.

 

The setup script "Time Card Grid - Version 9.0.0 Vancouver, Washington.txt" also works for all versions and comes with the 2 new features for calendars and grouped resources.

Hello François!

Thank you a lot for this great content.

Not only it manages person-days (my initial use case) but it also adds a lot of helpful configuration to the Time Card Portal.

I hope to see this OOB in a future version.

Bonjour @françoisschneider 

Indeed, this update set is amazing. It brings a lot of little features to the time tracking management. We particularly liked the way to fulfil the timesheets in days but also the possibility of modifying the UI of the TCP portal as well as certain lists of values... Without effort. You made my day!

Hello François!

Thank you for this helpful article.
I find the function to display the days off in color very helpful. How can you extend this function by automatically filling in the times?
