Special Codes

The Special Codes button opens a screen to add or view any Special Codes that are used with this assignment code. Examples of special codes would be No Lunch, Extended Shift, Premium, etc. and can be added to the in-punch, out-punch or both.

The left pane displays the Timeline for this record. The timeline shown is the version that contains the Search Date (entered on the Assignment Code search parameter screen).

The Effective Date is when the displayed record's timeline version became effective.

If there is a more recent timeline version for this same record, the Expiration Date will be automatically filled in with the date one day prior to the more recent timeline version's Effective Date.

Clicking Add Version creates a new timeline version. You will need to enter an Effective Date for the new version. This date can be in the past or in the future. Click Save Version when finished.

Clicking Delete Selected deletes the displayed timeline version. This is only allowed on replicated or added versions, not the original version, because there must always be an Assignment Source in effect.

Clicking Save when editing a timeline version only overwrites the version. It does not create a new version in the timeline.

The Comparison Report will display the differences between the selected version and the one immediately prior to it.

For each special code, there may be indicator and/or parameter options to configure. Click on the card arrow to the right of the special code record to open and edit the record.

Note: The options available in the field look up values must first be set up on the Special Codes configuration screen. For more information, see the Configuration section>Time and Attendance card>Special Codes screen.
