Create Time Rules

To create time rules that validate and process time, you can use the Rules task in the Time Management work area.

Before you start

Create Time Rule Templates

Here's what to do

  1. On the Rules page, click the Create icon.
  2. On the Create Rule dialog box, enter a descriptive rule name, and select the template type and rule template.
  3. On the Create Rule page, in the Basic Information section, include a description of what the rule does.
  4. In the Time Card Events that Trigger Rule section, check whether the default values from the selected template match your rule requirements. The time device and time submission rule templates don't include this section.
  5. In the Rule Parameters section, enter or select values for the parameters from the selected rule template.
  6. In the Outputs section, select values for the outputs from the selected rule template. 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.
  7. When you're ready, save and close your rule.
    Tip: Every time you create a time submission rule, you automatically create a corresponding rule set because the rule set can have only one rule.
