Timesheet Periods
Non-Project Time
Altus has comprehensive timesheet functionality which is covered here in further detail.
Administrators of the Altus environment can determine timesheet codes for non-project activities. There are two types of codes that can be created:
Working vs Non-Working Codes
- Working: Time booked against this code is completed during normal working hours such as meetings and admin time.
- Non-Working: Time booked against these codes are non-working and reduce the available capacity of the user. This is predominantly used for leave.
Non-Project time codes
Altus has the following non-project time out of the box. These cover most standard non-project time activities:
Adding additional codes
Additional non-project time codes can be added via the new button. This opens up the following form where new codes can be added:
- Name: This is what will appear for the user in their timesheet.
- Status: Only codes that are Open can be used in timesheets. This enables Admins to de-activate codes that are no longer applicable including the out of the box codes.
- Department: Codes can be linked to specific departments where feasible.
- Always Display: Codes can be set to always be visible in a timesheet. If this is set to No, the user can manually add these codes to their timesheet if required.
- Work Type: As mentioned previously, determines whether this will affect a user's availability when time is booked to this code.
