Definition

The system determines the employee selection period based on your entries, either:

  • From the start date of the initial period into the past
  • From the end date of the initial period into the future

Use

If you make no entries here, the system selects the employee list for the period specified as the Initial period. If you want the selection period for employee selection to be longer than the initial period, you must enter applicable dates.
If the Initial period is very brief, for example, it is recommended that you set a different employee selection period.

Example

You choose the current week as the initial period. In this case, the time administrator would only see the employees assigned to him or her for that specific week in the Time Manager's Workplace. If an employee was also assigned to that time administrator for the previous week, but has since changed to a different area in the current week, the time administrator would not see his or her name in the employee list in the Time Manager's Workplace. However, the time administrator can use the calendar to change the period displayed. If the time administrator then wants to see the current employee list for this new period, he or she must refresh employee selection.

If you want to increase the initial period a day at a time, enter the number of days more than the initial period for the employee selection period.

If you want to increase the initial period by a week or month, carry out the following steps:

If you enter 1 week, the system extends the initial period up to and including the start of the week or weekend. If the initial date is on the start of the week or weekend, the system extends the initial period to include an additional week into the past or future. In other words, the initial period extends in both directions up to one week.
The same occurs by entering 1 month.

If you want to extend the initial period to include a week before the current week, you must enter 2 weeks. If the current date is on the start of the week, then the period is extended two weeks, otherwise it is extended up to two weeks.
The same occurs by entering 2 months.

You set the day on which the week starts in the Week beginning field.

Example

You specifed that the Time Manager's Workplace is always accessed with an initial period of three days prior and three days after the current week. Howevever, you want your time administrators to be able to see information on what employees are to be assigned to them in the future. To do so, 2 months in the Relative position to end date field.

Note

The system displays the information message Employee list not current if a time administrator chooses a period in the calendar that does not cover the employee selection period. The time administrator can refresh his or her employee lists, to see the current list of employees for the new period.
