  • TimesheetLastMonthClosingDay
    Should an Employee be able to edit his or her hours of the last month?
  • PermissiveHourLogging
    Should be be permissive about letting users log their hours? "permissive" means that we allow Employees to log their hours basically on every project in the system. "restrictive" means that users can only log to projects (and the project's Tasks) if they are a member of the project.
  • TimesheetMaxHoursPerDay
    Maximum number of hours a user may log to a single day

    Is it allowed to log hours on main projects, even though they have sub-projects or tasks?
  • TimesheetTaskVisibilityScope
    Does an employee need to be a member of a subproject in order to log hours? Option 'main_project': It's sufficient for the employee to be member of the main project in order to log hours on all subprojects. That's comfortable, but permissive, and the list of tasks may get long. Option 'sub_project': The employee needs to be a member of the subprojects in order to see the subproject's tasks. Option 'task': The employee needs to be assigned expressively to each task in order to log his hours. May incur a considerable admin overhead to assign all employees to all tasksç
