User groups allow you to collate similar Users who share the same default time settings.
Introduction
Setting User groups allows you to define the default settings for several Users by collating them into a group. User groups allow you to set criteria around a certain group of Users so you can manage and report more effectively.
You can export a blank template for User Groups, or export all existing User Groups to an xlsx file, then edit and re-import it instead of manually entering User Groups. Read Import Time Sheet User Groups and Time Sheet Entry Types to learn how to do this.
Click Security Roles and Access Personas for Time Sheet Users to read about establishing access for different kinds of Time sheet Users.
Some common examples of Time Sheet User groups include:
-
- Employees paid by wage
- Employees paid by salary
- Subcontractors
- Temporary workers
- Employees based in different locations
Example: Your business employs temporary staff through a local recruitment agency. Instead of paying them through your payroll system, you will pay an invoice to the recruitment agency. Placing these crew members into a User group assists you to keep track of their time sheets and ensure that you are paying them correctly.
