To assign a timesheet group definition and a timesheet heading set to a post
Important
These Timesheet Group and Timesheet Heading Set fields must be customised by the Cintra Implementation team.
Because each employee has a post, you can link a Timesheet Group and Timesheet Heading Set to that post so that when the employee fills out a Timesheet claim in Self-Service , the Group definition and Heading information will always appear for them to fill out and/or select.
Important
If the employee has more than post, you can assign a different definition to each post.
Once you have created the Timesheet Group Definition(s) and Timesheet Heading Set, perform the following:
- Navigate to employee's Post Summary form.
Go to Cintra iQ: Employer Settings> Posts> record in Navigator> Post Summary Form - In the Post Management section:
- Select the definition from the Timesheet Group drop-down list.
- Select the set from Timesheet Heading Set drop-down list.
- Click the Apply button and then the OK button. The definition and set are assigned to the post.
