Create Timekeeping Settings Rules

Create Timekeeping Settings Rules

You must have these permissions to view and edit timekeeping settings:
  • timekeeping.settings.read
  • timekeeping.settings.write
Workday VNDLY administrators can customize timekeeping settings by creating rules based on various work order criteria. Custom rules enable you to diversify timekeeping settings to match unique or complex business needs.
Example: You create a rule using the Location criteria, so any contractor on a work order in California must use the Timesheet Classification type of Time In/Time Out.
When multiple timekeeping setting rules apply to a work order, Workday VNDLY merges and applies all defined settings. If conflicting configurations exist, Workday VNDLY prioritizes the settings from the most specific setting value.
Custom timekeeping setting rules override default values. While there's no limit on the number of rules you can create, Workday VNDLY recommends creating only what's necessary to avoid conflicts between rules.
Any changes you make to rules won't retroactively impact existing or past work orders. Changes will only affect future work orders.
