Presence MOD009D2A New from DB 39.5.14

Information

• The Presence module is a dialog module for the creation of presence times in the course of general time recording in the Time Recording module.

Procedure

• In the Presence dialog module, hours are displayed and recorded per day.
  • When the module is opened, the current day is always displayed by default. If you jump to another week, Monday will be displayed.
• The module is divided into two areas:
  • Presence times
    • Here, actual times or durations are recorded.
    • When opening the module, there is an empty record in this area each for the recording of presence and break.
      • Record Presence
        • To do so, enter the required times in the Start and End fields in the presence record. The duration is calculated from these entries automatically.
      • Record Breaks
        • Option 1
          • A break can be recorded as both a duration value or a from-to time value. In the second case, the respective duration is calculated automatically.
          • The break value is automatically subtracted from the presence value and the thus adjusted presence sum value is displayed at the top of the module.
        • Option 2
          • Several presence times are entered with from-to. Time gaps left between the entries are considered breaks.
      • Further presence times and/or breaks
        • To record further presence times or breaks, click on the plus button in the Presence times area and select a time recording type in the Type field in the new record (e.g. presence, break, etc.). Subsequently, record the times as described above.
  • Standard values
    • Here, e.g. travel or overnight accommodation fees are recorded.
    • Here, no empty records are contained by default when the module is opened. To record new records, click on the plus button in the Standard values area.
      • Select the required standard value in the Type field.
      • Select project and task for which a standard value is to be recorded.
      • Activate the Invoicable checkbox if the standard value is to be invoiced to the customer.
    • To insert further records, click on the plus button in the Standard values area.
  • In both areas you can write a comment for each entry.

Notes

• The recorded time in the presence entries (records) must not overlap.
• Records with break which were recorded with from/to must not overlap either.
• Break records with from/to must be on the same day within the recorded absence period.
  • Example: If a presence with 09:00-12:00 has been recorded, a record with break from 11:30-12:30 is not valid.
• In the case of time overlapping or breaks outside the presence period, respective messages are displayed.

Details

• The values recorded in the Presence module are subsequently summed up as a daily value in the Time Recording module directly below the scale and they are additionally represented as a week value next to the Presence heading.
