Create Custom Time Attributes for Unified Time Entry

Use custom time attributes that store company-specific information in the time repository and add them on workers' time cards.

  1. Go to Setup and Maintenance > Workforce Deployment > Time and Labor > Custom Time Attributes.
  2. Create the time attribute by completing these steps:
    1. Enter a name and description.
    2. Select the classification type, which indicates if the attribute has dependent attributes.
    3. Select the data type of the attribute. It need to match the data type of the linked value set.
    4. Optionally, select the unit of measure used for payroll and reporting purposes.
    5. Select the data source value sets that appear first in the data source drop-down lists when your administrators configure time card fields with these attributes.
    6. Select an attribute category value to group time attributes for reporting purposes. You create your own attribute categories as lookup type values.

      When you select an attribute category, the data dictionary location that stores the custom time attribute appears. The location value also indicates the number of times this attribute category was used to group time attributes.
