Overview of Time Card Fields
Use your generated payroll time type, the project costing, and any custom time attributes to create single-attribute and multiple-attribute time card fields. When creating fields, you also specify filtered and unfiltered data sources for the time attributes.
You create single-attribute fields with independent payroll time attributes and related, dependent time attributes from payroll element values. Examples of element values are rate override, location override, and costing segments. The people who can see and edit the fields depend on how you configure the field.
Typically, you use single-attribute fields with lists of values that are dynamic and update automatically as new values are added for the attribute. Because the list is dynamic, some values might not be relevant to the people reporting time.
Create multiple-attribute fields to include one or more time attributes. The field 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. You can 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.
Typically, you use multiple-attribute fields with payroll time attributes. 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 Hr and you set the display name to Regular Pay.
Time and Labor includes delivered single-attribute absence, payroll, and project fields, many of them used in the delivered layout sets. Quickly find these fields by searching in the Description field for Delivered. To create your own fields, you can search for and duplicate the delivered field that most closely matches the field you need. Then, edit the duplicate field to support your time reporting policies.
