Enabling the "Allocate Hours" Feature

  1. Log into the TimeForce system as an administrator user.

  2. From the row of navigation tabs at the top of the screen, click on the main “Admin” tab.

  3. Click on the “User Security” link located under the System Tools section of the screen. The main “User Security” screen opens.

  4. Click on the [DISPLAY] icon at the bottom of the User Security section of the screen to bring up a list of each user that has been inserted into the TimeForce system. You can also enter search criteria to bring up a specific user.

  5. Click on the User Name of the user that you would like to enable the “Allocate Hours” feature for. The User Info screen appears to the right.

  6. Scroll down until you come to the Permissions section of the screen. Click on the down-arrow icon to access the assigned user permissions.

  7. Scroll down again until you come to the Timecard permissions located at the bottom of the Permissions section of the screen.

  8. Under the Self Rights section of the Time Card permissions, put a check mark in the box next to “Allocate Hours.” When using this option, the following access rights must also be specified:

    • The “Time Card View” permission must be enabled. Without this permission users are not allowed access to the Time Card section of the program.

    • Ensure that the “Total Hours Edit” option is not enabled. If this option is enabled the user is no longer restricted from adding additional hours to their time card.

  9. To save the changes that you have made, click on the [UPDATE] icon located in either the upper or lower right-hand corner of the screen.

The “Allocate Hours” option has now been enabled for the specified user. If you would like to enable this option for all of your Self Service users, reassign them to a customized security role.
