Term	Definition
Create Rules	The Create Rules component consists of the online tools that enable you to create, compile, and apply rules to reported and scheduled time. You can create rules for the batch process only or for both batch and online rules processing.
Batch Processing	The Time Administration batch processing component applies the rules to time reporter data and generates payable time from reported and scheduled time.
Online Processing	From the Timesheet, the Apply Online Rules process immediately applies your online rules to the time for a specific time reporter.
