Redwood Time Card Enhancements

You can now enable time card and time entry comments for the Redwood time card when setting up the unified time entry layout. If both options are disabled, people can't add any comments at any level on the time card, and the View Comments button doesn't appear.

You can now see a banner message indicating there's an entry error resulting from a time rule, even if there are other exceptions at any level--time card, day, or entry. The entry error details still appear on the related quantity cell in the grid and are identified with a red triangle icon.

You can now edit absence entry attributes on Redwood time cards, after you save the time card. But you can't change the absence type. Your security and time entry profile settings determine whether you can make these changes.
