22.4 Timesheet security

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

22.4.1 There are 3 levels of Timesheet screen security:

 

1) Unsecured - all users can view and edit all timesheets. Do not give any letters or numbers to frmTimesheets.

 

2) Users can view and edit only their own timesheets - Assign a letter, say “a”, to “frmTimeSheets” in Object Security. If any characters are assigned to “frmTimesheetsRestricted”, remove them. To allow only admins to view everyone's timesheets, assign admins the same letter in User Security. Make sure that non-admin people are not assigned that letter.

 

3) Disallow certain users entering timesheets - For example, where there is employee A who is an admin and therefore can see everyone's timesheets, employee B who is allowed to view and edit his own timesheets, and employee C who is not allowed to view or enter any timesheets. Assign a letter, say "a", to “frmTimeSheets” and assign another letter, say "t" to "frmTimesheetsRestricted" in Object Security. In User Security screen, assign employee A "a, t", employee B "t" only, and leave employee C empty.

 

22.4.2 Hide the calculated values

 

From the Main Menu screen, go to the "Administration" column, and click on the "Setup Latitude" button to open the "Setup Latitude" screen. Press the "Time" tab and select the "Hide Amounts on Timesheets".

 

Note that this option is independent of User Security and Object Security settings, and therefore can be applied to any security option.
