As part of timesheet validation, the Timesheet feature shows any problems associated with timesheet entries in the Week view, enabling you to enter correct information and resolve other problems.
If there are potential problems with time entry or pay adjustment in the Week view that you try to save, the Timesheet shows an icon to the left of the existing timesheet icon. Further, the app shows a color indicator on the far left side of the cell, next to the problem icon, depending on the type of problem message: Error (red), Warning (orange), or Information (blue). An underline is also shown in the cell if it contains a critical error.
Time entries can have more than one problem icon. The app shows these icons on the same line as the time entry time, unless there are too many problem icons, in which case they are moved to their own line below the problem entry. Problem types and their icons are shown in the following order: Error (
), Warning (
), and Information (
).
If there is a critical error with an entry, and you try to save it, the app shows the message, “There are critical problems; the timesheet data cannot be saved.” You can’t go to a different week if there are critical errors in the Timesheet week view screen.
In the event that data fails to save, the application shows the message, “Failed to validate timesheet data.”
If there are one or more warnings present for entries, but data can be saved, the app shows the problem icon but permits you to save the entries.
