Time Center Navigation

Time Center Overview

Time Center serves as a final repository to review and correct Time sheet information before importing into your payroll system. Time Center allows you to review entries, called time cards, brought in from:

• Daily plans approved within the Progress Daily Planning (Web and Mobile) application

• Progress Weekly Time sheet module

Time Center Purpose

The purpose of Time Center is to:

• Review the daily plans (time cards) received from Plan and Progress

• Ensure time cards have the correct properties and data elements

• Edit and correct any potential errors

• Send the reviewed and corrected time cards to your payroll system to process for payment

• Eliminate the need to edit time cards via payroll system database tables or side spreadsheets exported from Excel

Display Configurations

The Time center UI is designed for full HD resolution 1920 x 1080 with browser zoom of 100% and Windows display scaling of 100%. Display configurations other than what is recommended might not render correctly.

Each InEight application has its own supported display configurations, which might be different than the configuration above.

Time Center Access

To access projects in Time center the project setting Use Employee Reason Codes must be toggled on. This setting is required prior to creating daily plans and cannot be changed once daily plans are created.

The Progress time center will show as a sub-level menu option under the account level.

You need to have organization or account access to see the sub-level option for Time center.

This option requires level 2 or 3 administrator levels. To set the correct administrator level, Go to Suite administration > Roles and permissions, and then click the Add role icon.

Under Role details, the Administrator level field includes a drop-down menu.

The administrator level can be set and saved only once for every new role.

Time Center Register Columns

The Time Center register contains all the information captured using the Progress application for your daily plans in the field, as well as weekly Time sheets from the Weekly Time sheets module. The register columns fixed to the left are pertinent for identifying the time cards and include the Plan ID, Time card ID, Employee ID, Employee name and Labor/Equipment hours columns. The columns on the right contain additional data brought in from InEight Progress for you to review for issues.

Sort Columns

You can sort in ascending or descending (both for alpha and numeric fields) on any column’s header. Click once to sort the column in ascending order (A-Z, 1-10). A yellow arrow displays on the column header pointing upward.

Click a second time on the column header to sort in descending order (Z-A, 10-1), and the arrow will point downward. Click a third time to reset the column to its default state.

Move Columns

You can move columns using drag and drop to rearrange them as needed and the system will remember the column order the next time you log in.

Filter columns

Depending on the project, you may have thousands of time cards to sift through. You can filter your time cards using column filters to drill down by date, employee, or whatever other criteria you need.

To filter on a column, select the filter icon on the column’s header, then hover over the Filter menu option.

On the resulting Filter window, you can select an operator and value to filter by.

The register now filters your time cards by the filter value you selected, and the filter icon on the column header is yellow to indicate the column is being filtered.

To clear the filter, you would click on the columns filter icon and select Clear.

Group Columns

With column grouping, you can organize your time cards into groups by the values of a selected column. By organizing time cards into groups, you can review time cards more efficiently. Grouping columns lets you group information most applicable to your process, and you can group by any column without affecting any of the time card data.

To group by a column, click on the column’s header and drag it into the grey area just above the column headers.

Your time cards are now organized into groups based on the values within the column. Each group is collapsible and subtotals the labor or equipment hours of the time cards within each group.

To remove a grouping, click the x on the grouped column header within the grouping area.

The column will return to its placement within the register.

Project groups

You can view one or more projects at a time in a single grid of data with the project groups option.

Go to Progress Time center, and then click on the drop-down menu labeled Select project group. You can select previously saved groups, and edit or add a new project group.

To add a new group, name the new project group, and then select from the available projects or organizations.

If your resources go across projects, this helps to check employees assigned to multiple projects on a single page instead of checking each project individually.

You can still work with a single project. The option to create groups has been added as a quicker work flow option.

Unique budget code segments

You can populate budget segments to show a unique code label. Unique budget code segments contain additional options to identify a cost item using four independent fields that are separated by periods. When you configure unique budget codes at the organization level (All projects & organizations > Edit organization) the segment numbers are matched with the corresponding columns in Time Center.

Unapproved Time Cards

Note that time cards that have not yet been approved and are still in Execution or Awaiting Approval status are not editable within the Time Center register. You can only edit approved time cards.

Date Filter

You can filter to a specific date for your time cards by either typing the date in the Date field or by selecting the date from the calendar icon.

To select a date range, click the add date icon and select an end date.

Time Card Pre-Set Filters

The upper portion of the left side panel contains pre-set filters to help you focus on the time cards that need review. You have four pre-set filter options you can select from:

• Issues – Time cards that have information on them tagged as issues

• In Progress – Time cards that are in a processing status before sending to Payroll.

• Not sent – Filters to time cards that have an Integration status of Not sent.

• Sent – Filters to time cards that have an Integration status of Sent, or time cards that have been sent to Payroll

• All – Shows all time cards within the selected date(s)

Query Builder

In addition to the filters you can set on individual columns, you can also add filters using the Query Builder. The following steps walk you through creating a query using the Query Builder.

Step by Step — Create a Query

Filter Indicators

The number next to the top filter indicator shows how many queries have been applied.

An additional filter indicator displays in yellow for each filter applied. 

You can hover over the indicator of each applied filter to see the filter name, and you can click on each indicator to remove them from being applied.

Error Indicators

Errors

Fields that appear in red indicate an error with information on the time card. Time cards with red error indicators cannot be sent to Payroll. Hovering over the X will give you the reason for the error, so you can correct information as needed.

Warnings

Fields in yellow indicate warnings. Time cards with warnings can still be sent to Payroll, but it is recommended to fix warnings to avoid possible confusion or issues with time cards. You can hover over the warning indicator symbol to see the reason for the warning, so you can make corrections. 

Edit notes

You can edit notes originating in the Weekly Time Sheet or Global Time Center.

In the Time card register, under the Notes column, click the Edit note icon. .

The Notes dialog box will open where you can add or edit details.
