The actual combination of field-level display properties that you can configure varies
by the type of time entry layout component. For example, you can't configure the Display Type
property for web clock buttons.
-
Select the display type, such as Text box, Smart
choice list, or Hidden field. Hidden fields
never appear on the time card. If you've the unified time entry experience, the
drop-down list doesn’t include Read Only option. You handle this instead in the
Reported Time section, with the Read only option.
-
Edit the display name, as appropriate. This name is the default column header of
the tables on classic time card entry, review, view, and approval notification pages.
It’s the default column header of the tables on the enhanced time card pages. It's
also the default field name on responsive time card pages, Web Clock, and time card
and calendar dialog boxes.
Note: To fully render the display name on time card, calendar, and web clock pages
and dialog boxes, limit the name to 70 characters or less.
-
Enable or disable override on layouts. Enabling the override lets people set different,
meaningful display names in various layout sets that use the same layout component.
-
Specify whether the time card field is required. Required fields always appear on
the page or dialog box and people need to provide a value.
Tip: To keep people from submitting time cards with no entries, make sure
that at least one time card field on the time layout is required.
The validation that checks for values in the required fields runs when people save
or submit classic and Redwood time cards. It also runs when people click
OK after editing an entry on a responsive time card. It
doesn't run when people save or submit responsive time cards. If people don't edit
responsive time card entries that include required fields, they can submit time
cards that are missing required values.
