To create time rule templates, you can use the Rule Templates task in the Time
Management work area.
-
On the Rule Templates page, click the Create icon.
-
On the Create Rule Template dialog box, select the template type and formula. The
template type filters the formulas that you can select from.
-
On the Create Rule Template: Definition page, configure the basic information.
-
In the Time Card Events that Trigger Rule section, select the time card actions
that start the rule. This step isn't applicable to time device and submission rule
templates.
Tip: You can edit the Save setting when creating time calculation rules.
You can edit all action settings when creating time entry rules.
-
On the Create Rule Template: Parameters page, configure the parameters provided by the
selected formula.
-
On the Create Rule Template: Outputs page, configure the outputs provided by the selected
formula.
Tip: The bundled time allocation formula doesn't contain any outputs. You
specify rule outputs in time allocation configurations that you create using the
Time Allocation task.
In time calculation rule templates, for measure outputs, select the
Measure time attribute. Optionally, you can add time
attributes. If you don't add time attributes, then the rules created with the
template use the time attribute for the reported time. For example, you use the
same payroll attribute value as the reported time to store the calculated hours
for regular time entries. You use a different attribute value to store any
calculated overtime hours. So, you add the Payroll Time Type attribute to the
output group for outputs over the threshold.
-
On the Create Rule Template: Explanation page, enter the business purpose of the rule
template. To have the rule explanation include the specific values set in that rule,
include message tokens.
-
On the Create Rule Template: Review page, review your template settings.
-
When you're ready, save and close the template.
