Reference: Time Block and Time Clock Event Sources

You can report on the source of time entries using the
Source
report field and the
Time Clock Event Source
report field. You can view the
Source
when you click the
View Details
button on a time block. You can also view both fields on the
Time Block Audit
report.
If a time block is entered as a quantity, the Source report field will indicate one of 8 possible values depending on the time entry method used:
  • Adjusted
  • External
  • Manually Added
  • Mass Auto-fill from Schedule
  • Mass Enter Time
  • Mobile
  • System Generated
  • User Entered
If a time block is formed from 2 matched time clock events it will have 2 possible Source values: Time Clock Events and Time Clock Events (Mobile). The source Workday displays is determined by the source of the second time clock event. When the second time clock event has a Time Clock (Mobile) source, the time block source is Time Clock Events (Mobile). When the second time clock event has a non-mobile source, the time block source is Time Clock Events.
In time clock events the Source report field will indicate one of 4 possible values depending on the time entry method used:
  • Time Clock
  • External
  • Time Clock(Mobile)
  • Manually Added
Time clock event Source report fields are separate from time block Source report fields. For reporting purposes there is only 1 Source field that can be used by both time clock events and time blocks. These are the possible values that Workday returns in the Source report field:
