PLC	Enter, or click to select, a PLC to be linked to an employee.
Description	This column displays the description of each PLC.
Default PLC	Select this check box to have this PLC default into the timesheet when the selected employee works on this project. Since you can set up multiple PLCs for each employee/project combination, you must specify which PLC is the timesheet default. For any given employee/project combination, there must be at least one PLC with this check box selected. If this check box is clear, the PLC does not default, but is available for when you enter employee timesheets. This field does not affect employee labor entered via journal entries, since no PLC defaults are offered for journal entries.

Starting Date	Enter, or click to select, the employee's starting date. Note: For Costpoint Cloud, you can choose to opt in to this feature for the Costpoint 8.2.12 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all users as part of a future Costpoint release. See the Manage Opt-In Features topic for more information.
Ending Date	Enter, or click to select, the employee's ending date. Note: For Costpoint Cloud, you can choose to opt in to this feature for the Costpoint 8.2.12 release. The ability to opt in is temporary and will be removed when the feature becomes automatically enabled for all users as part of a future Costpoint release. See the Manage Opt-In Features topic for more information.
Check	Click this button to view a list of projects and employees who have more than one PLC default or no default at all; both are validated in the screen. This list provides a quick view of all projects with existing problems, all of which may not be initially seen on the screen. The "and more" verbiage indicates that, as the projects that are displayed are corrected, more projects will display.
