UDT Options Subtask

Use the UDT Options Subtask to override UDT options for a specific timesheet class. When you create a new timesheet class, the options default from the Configure Time Settings screen. Any changes you make here override those configuration options.

Note: Any changes to the UDT Options in the Configure Time Settings screen will NOT be automatically reflected in existing timesheet classes.

UDT Options Table

Field Description
Code Enter a 10 digit, uppercase, alphanumeric, user-defined value code. Each code must be unique.
Label

This non-editable column displays the label defined in the Configure General Settings screen.

Required

Select this option to make this field a required entry on the timesheet. The UDT01 and UDT10 Required columns are always selected and cannot be changed.

Default

Select this option if you want the UDT ID to default from the employee's history record, if it is present. If it is not, the default is the first valid UDT value based on ID.

Validate

Select this option if you want the UDT value to be validated during timesheet entry. If you are not using the UDT, this option is disabled. There are numerous validations that can occur when you exit a cell. Following are a few examples:

  • If a UDT is supplied, it must exist in the appropriate UDT table.
  • UDT01 must have a "Timesheet" or "Both" Type in the UDT01 Types screen.
  • The UDT must be active.
  • The UDT must allow charging.
  • Based on selected linkage, appropriate records must exist in the link tables.
  • If the UDT works in conjunction with a Costpoint company, the UDT company must match the employee's company.
