Miscellaneous

Field Description
Costpoint Multicompany

Select this check box to use the Costpoint Multicompany feature. Be careful when selecting this check box.

You will not be able to turn this feature off once you have checked it and have imported Costpoint company data. If you do so, the system displays the following error: "Value cannot be changed from ' Y' to ' N' because Costpoint Company records exist in the Costpoint Company table." 

Note: See Concept Topic: Costpoint Multicompany for details.
Restrict Delegation
Select this check box to restrict delegation.
Note: See Concept Topic: Delegation for details.
Use Group Cache for Charge Lookup
Select this check box to enable group cache for charge lookup. This functionality improves lookup performance by building cache tables for valid UDT02 (Project) charges for groups at the branch or tree level. Lookup refers to these cached tables when charge lookups are executed for timesheets, expense reports, and expense authorizations.
Note: This option cannot be used if charge restrictions exist at the employee level, or if the Allow Unauthorized Charges option is enabled. Group cache tables are only built for UDT02 (Project) related charges. Charge lookups for UDT01 (Account) related charges use the normal charge lookup.

Mobile Options

Field Description
Allow Mobile Time Application Select this check box to allow Costpoint Mobile users access to Costpoint Mobile Time.
Allow Mobile Expense Application Select this check box to allow Costpoint Mobile users access to Costpoint Mobile Expense.
Enable New Mobile Responsive Design Interface This option, which is selected by default, allows Costpoint Mobile users to display the Manage Timesheet application in Mobile Responsive Design Interface (MRD) mode in their smartphone browsers.

When a user accesses the Web version of the timesheet application through a smartphone browser (as opposed to using the actual Mobile Time application), this setting controls whether the timesheet displays using MRD. MRD displays on smartphone browsers using a Portrait (vertical) mode that imitates the standard Mobile App User Interface, which is optimized for the smaller screens featured on smartphones.

When Enable New Mobile Time Responsive Design Interface is selected, the MRD display is the default for all users accessing the timesheet application from their smartphone browsers. The application will accordingly display in MRD when users select the Smartphone Mode check box on the sign-in screen.

Clear the Enable New Mobile Time Responsive Design Interface check box to allow the timesheet display to match the standard Web version, which is designed for optimum viewing on larger PC monitors and laptop screens.

The function of the Smartphone Mode check box on the Costpoint logon screen is dependent on the status of the Enable New Mobile Time Responsive Design Interface configuration setting:

  • If the configuration setting is selected, users selecting the Smartphone Mode check box can view the Manage Time application in MRD mode.
  • If the configuration setting is not selected, users will see their timesheets displayed in Web mode whether or not they select the Smartphone Mode check box.
Note: When both check boxes are selected, if users view their smartphones in Landscape (horizontal) position, the timesheet display switches from MRD to Web mode.

Mobile Privacy Options

Field Description
Allow Users to send information to Google Analytics Google Analytics is a tool that Deltek uses to anonymously gather mobile application usage, such as user interface clicks and selections and application crashes. Users opt in for usage tracking when they install and launch the Costpoint Mobile Time & Expense application.

While usage tracking is completely anonymous, Deltek understands that some companies do not want to allow their users to opt in to this usage tracking tool. With this, Deltek adds an option that you can configure to not allow users to opt in.

To enable sending, select the Allow users to send information to Google Analytics option. The Usage Tracking field, which defaults to On, displays on the Settings screen in the Costpoint Mobile T&E application

To disable sending, clear the Allow users to send information to Google Analytics option. The Usage Tracking field on the Settings screen in the Costpoint Mobile T&E application is hidden.
Allow ICR Expense Processing Costpoint Mobile T&E is integrated with an intelligent character recognition (ICR) technology when you use Capture Receipt. With this feature, Costpoint Mobile T&E automatically scans and analyzes the captured or selected image, maps the captured data to the Expense Report screens, and populates the matched fields.

This setting is selected by default. Leave the setting selected to enable ICR processing, or clear the check box to disable ICR processing.

This same setting applies to the My Outstanding Expenses application in the Web version of Time & Expense, where employees can upload receipts to create expenses. If for any reason, your company chooses not to enable Mobile Expense but does choose to enable ICR processing in My Outstanding Expenses, this setting must still be selected.

Note: For Costpoint GovCon Cloud Moderate, this feature may be disabled by Deltek Cloud Operations in order to comply with ITAR-related security.
