Allocating Time Records in the Control Center

Sometimes there is a need to simplify processes for employees and only require an in/out punch each day for a single location. The manager can then allocate that time, assigning specific tasks to time entries. This process ensures proper allocation is completed for effective project management and cost tracking.

Allocating Single Time Record

To allocate time for a single Time Record perform the following steps:

1.   Select the Time Record to allocate.

2.   Select the [Allocate] button found just above the edit window and below the Time Editor grid, as shown below.

3.   The Allocated Hours screen opens Select the [+New] button to begin allocating time for the selected record.

4.   With the in time for the current segment displaying, add a new out time in the Out field. If it is the last segment of the day, select the [Add Remaining Time] button to add the applicable out time.

5.   If the location is different, select the new location from the Locations dropdown menu.

6. In the Tasks dropdown menu, select the new task.

7.   Enter the Total Units and Asset (if these options are being used).

8.   Select the [Save] button to add allocation.


Once saved, the Allocated Hours are displayed. Allocated time is identified by the color orange on the timeline, as shown below. Any remaining unallocated time is displayed on the timeline in the color grey.

The existing allocation can be adjusted by either selecting and dragging the allocation segment directly or by selecting and dragging the Time Bubble to expand or resize the time frame of the allocated segment.

To allocate additional time on the current Time Record, repeat steps three through eight using the [Add Remaining Time] button to quickly add the remaining hours to the last allocation.

When the allocation of the current record is complete, select the [Save] button.

Allocating Multiple Time Records

WorkMax makes it easy to allocate multiple Time Records simultaneously. To achieve this, the following rules must be met:

·        
Each record must have a unique employee.

·        
Each record must have the same location.

·        
Each record should represent similar hours worked on the same date.

If these rules are met, follow the same steps as described above after selecting multiple Time Records.

When allocating multiple records, the time records are displayed together below the Time Editor grid.
