Configure the Web Clock Button Properties

You create groups of web clock buttons by adding a combination of absence, payroll, and project costing time attributes as table columns. You select specific attribute values in the table rows.

  1. Create attribute definition table structure, which automatically includes the Clock Event attribute.
    1. On the Create Web Clock Buttons: Button Definition page, click Add Time Attribute.

    2. In the Add Time Attribute dialog box, complete these steps:

      1. Set the attribute display sequence to specify where the column appears in the table.
      2. Select the time attribute, such as Payroll Time Type or Start Property.
      3. Select the unfiltered data source for the specified time attribute. Typically, the correct value for the selected attribute is the first value in the drop-down list.
      4. Specify whether the definition structure requires the time attribute.
      5. Click OK.
    3. Repeat steps a and b until you add all the time attributes for the definition of these buttons.

  2. After you finish the attribute definition structure, add and configure each row of the attribute definition table.
    1. Enter the button label that people see on Web Clock. For example, Start Shift, Take Break, Back from Break, or Take Meal.
    2. Select the time attribute values, which the time repository stores.

      Caution: If you use Absence Management and Global Payroll or Project Costing attributes, or all three, in the absence rows, select values for only the absence management attributes. This way payroll and project time data routes to the appropriate approvers and transfers to the appropriate time consumers. If you extract time data to use with external applications, you can combine absence data with payroll or project data, or both.
