Multiple-Attribute Time Field

A multiattribute field has one or more time attributes linked to it. It stores multiple values internally, but people see only one value. For example, when someone selects the Hours Type value Regular, the save action stores the Regular payroll time type and Billable expenditure type.

Multiattribute fields also let you identify HCM groups whose members can see the value. And you can specify whether workers, line managers, and time and labor managers can edit or only read the value.

You use multiattribute fields most often with payroll time attributes because they're relatively static. And you can change the name of the attribute value that people see. For example, a payroll time type value might be US Reg Hrly and you set the display name to Regular Pay.

The unified time entry experience uses layout-level maximums for time card field data types, including multiattribute fields. The nonunified time entry experience uses a site-level maximum of 20 multiattribute fields across all layouts. So if you've the nonunified experience, plan carefully the fields to create and the layouts to add them to.

1. Use the allowed actions and HCM groups in each row to create one multipurpose field.
2. Use the field in various layout sets across many groups of workers, managers, and time and labor managers.
