Daily
The Daily button opens a screen to restrict access to features during certain times of every day, or every X number of days. This can be used to prevent employees from reviewing information (such as benefit balances) during peak call in times during the day.
Action Buttons
The following action buttons are available:
Save
Click on the Save button to save the new or updated information in the current screen.
The system does a validation on fields to verify a valid value has been entered. If the value is not valid, a warning message is generated, and the record is not saved.
Cancel
The Cancel button is used to stop the creation or the editing of the open record.
New records are not created and existing records are not updated with any changes made since the record was last saved.
End Time
The time of day that this feature exclusion time should end, expressed in 24-hour format. The exclusion time frame includes all minutes on or after the Start Time and before the End Time.
For example, if the exclusion start time is set to 7:00, and the end time was set at 8:00, the employee could not access the feature between 7:00 and 7:59.
More About Time Value Fields
When a field requires a Time Value, the value must be formatted in 24-hour time. This means after noon, the hour value entered should have 12 added to the hour value shown on the clock. For example, if the time is 3:00 pm, the correct value in 24-hour format is 15:00 (12+3 = 15).
- The system automatically formats entered values to hh:mm (two-digit hour value, two-digit minute value separated by a colon).
- Enter 1500 and the system automatically adds the colon between the hour and minute values to convert this to 15:00.
- Enter 900 and the system adds the leading zeros and colon to convert this to 09:00.
- The system adds leading zeros to any value less than 4 digits. For example, if 9 is entered, the system converts this to 00:09 (nine minutes after midnight).
- If the last two digits of the entered value is larger than 59, this cannot be converted to a valid time and an error message is generated.
- If the first two digits of a four-digit value is larger than 23, this cannot be converted to a valid time and an error message is generated.
- Enter midnight as 00:00; enter noon as 12:00.
- If a "p" or "pm" is entered after the hour value, the system automatically converts the time to the corresponding afternoon value in 24-hour time. For example:
- Enter 300p or 300pm and the system converts this to 15:00 and adds the colon.
Frequency
The frequency rotation of days when this exclusion is in effect. For example, if this value is set to 1, this exclusion is every day. If this value is set to 3, this exclusion takes place every three days.
Start Date
The date when this exclusion range becomes effective.
More About Date Value Fields
When a date field is highlighted, the Date Selector is displayed in the right pane to search for the date. Use the arrows in the heading bar to scroll to the Previous or Next month's calendar. Double-click on a date to enter it into the field. Alternatively, dates can be typed into the field.
Start Time
The time of day that this feature exclusion time should begin, expressed in 24-hour format. The exclusion time frame includes all minutes on or after the Start Time and before the End Time.
For example, if the exclusion start time is set to 7:00, and the end time was set at 8:00, the employee could not access the feature between 7:00 and 7:59.
