Understanding the Time Entry Director Form

The Time Entry Self Service Director program displays the first form that employees see when they access self-service time entry. You define the text that appears on this form. This text is called director text. You use director text to provide user instructions for employees or to provide pay-period specific or labor distribution period specific information that employees might need to enter timecards correctly. The Time Entry Self Service Director form displays labor distribution period specific information for the labor distribution period employees. For the other employees, the Time Entry Self Service Director form displays the default pay period end date based on the processing option. If you choose to include pay-period specific information in director text, you must revise the text for each pay period.

The Historical Correction Periods option on the Time Entry Self Service Director form displays for labor distribution employees and is hidden for pay period employees. If you select the Historical Correction Periods option, the system enables the Timecard Corrections link. You can access historical corrections through this link. You can set a processing option to display or hide the Timecard Corrections link.

These examples illustrate the types of information that you might want to include in director text.
