Create Time Reporting Periods

Before resources can enter their time, specify the beginning and ending date for each time reporting period. A time reporting period cannot have an overlapping start and finish dates with another period type and year. Each time reporting period you create must have a unique period name, period type, year, and period number.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Administration, and from Project Management, click Time Reporting Periods.

   The time reporting periods page appears.

2. Click New.

   The properties page appears.

3. Complete the following fields:

   Scale

   Specifies the time duration for the reporting period.

   Values: Annual, Monthly, Quarterly, Semiannual, Weekly, Daily, or Biweekly

   Default: Weekly

   Start Date

   Specifies the start date for the reporting period.

   Finish Date

   Specifies the finish date for the reporting period. Click the calendar icon, select an end date for the new time period, then click Add.

4. Save the changes.
