After timesheet and expense claim deletion has been enabled through the clicking of the System Settings screen button, the "Delete" toolbar button will be activated for use in your Timesheet and Expense Claim Administration screens, allowing record deletion for your current Senomix session.

A timesheet or expense claim record can be deleted in your Administration screens by selecting the record of interest in the screen's table window, clicking the "Delete" toolbar button and acknowledging the confirmation messages which follow.

[How Do I..?] Create an administration-only user which does not count against my system's user license total

Your Senomix system provides a "Non-Time Entering" user access level which allows you to specify system users who will need to use your Senomix applications for administration and reporting purposes, but who will not record time for themselves.

To set a system user to be "Non-Time Entering" (and so not count against your office's license total):

Sign in to your account. You will be brought to your Main Menu screen.
On your Main Menu screen, click the button labeled "User Admin". Your User Administration screen will be displayed.
In your User Administration screen table window, click the user record corresponding to the employee you would like to designate as being 'non-time entering' (so, the person who will never need to enter timesheets or expense claims in your system).
With the user record of interest selected, set the "User Access" selector to the "No Time Entry Allowed" option and click the "Save" toolbar button to apply the change.
The selected user is now set as non-time entering and will not be allowed to enter timesheets and expense claims, or to have timesheets or expense claims created for them by an administrator. The user account will also no longer count against your office's user license, and their license space may now be used by a new employee.

Please Note: If your record Save action is blocked when setting the user account to be non-time entering with a message indicating that the employee has timesheets or expense claims listed for them in your system, their existing timesheets and claims must be deleted before their account can be designated as non-time entering. A user which has been set to have the "No Time Entry Allowed" User Access right cannot have records entered in your system, but can be set to have administrative or reports access as you would like.

[How Do I..?] Set a user to only have access to the stopwatch for recording time

To set a user to have stopwatch-only access rights (which blocks them from using the system timesheet screen to edit or review their work):

Sign in to your account. You will be brought to your Main Menu screen.
On your Main Menu screen, click the button labeled "User Admin". Your User Administration screen will be displayed.
In your User Administration screen table window, click the user record corresponding to the person you would like to limit to stopwatch use only.
With the user record of interest selected, set the "User Access" selector to the "Stopwatch Access Only" option and click the "Save" toolbar button to apply the change.
The selected user will now only be able to access their system stopwatch for time tracking, and will be unable to edit or review time through their timesheet entry screens.

[How Do I..?] Give administrator access to a user account

To grant administrator access to an existing user account (so, allow a person to edit projects, change user accounts and have full access to system timesheets, expense claims and reports):

Sign in to your account. You will be brought to your Main Menu screen.
On your Main Menu screen, click the button labeled "User Admin". Your User Administration screen will be displayed.
In your User Administration screen table window, click the user record corresponding to the person you would like to grant administrator access to.
With the user record of interest selected, click the "Administrator" checkbox "On" and click the "Save" toolbar button to apply the change.
The selected user has now been granted full administrator access and will be able to sign in to your system's Administration application to edit projects, adjust user accounts, review timesheets and expense claims, and create reports.

[How Do I..?] Remove a user from my system user count but keep their timesheets and claims

To permanently remove a user from your Senomix Timesheets license user count but keep their timesheet and expense claim records, you must set that user account to be "Historic".

You can make a user account Historic by following these steps:

Sign in to your account. You will be brought to your Main Menu screen.
On your Main Menu screen, click the button labeled "User Admin". Your User Administration screen will be displayed.
In your User Administration screen table window, click the user record you would like to permanently disable and remove from your user license count.
With the user record of interest selected, click the "Set Historic" button. A confirmation message will appear which asks you to confirm your action before proceeding. Click the "Yes" button to continue.
A secondary confirmation message will appear which reminds you that setting a user record to be Historic is not a reversible action. Once a user has been set to be Historic, they will be removed from your license count and be set as permanently disabled in your system. Only individuals who have permanently left your organization should be made Historic. When you are ready to proceed with making the selected user account Historic, click the "Yes" button.
An information message will be displayed informing you that the selected user account has now been set as Historic, with the user record changing in appearance in your User Administration screen to reflect that new state. The user license space previously occupied by that user account is now available and can be re-used for a new user account in your system.

[How Do I..?] Copy all activity and task billing codes from one project to another

Although project copy is a straight-forward process, you probably do not want to do this. To use the same set of activity and task billing codes between a group of projects, it is almost always better to use a project template instead.

Project templates allow you to use a shared set of activity and task billing codes between any number of projects, and provides a simple way to coordinate your office's work tasks. A step-by-step example showing how to set up project templates in your office can be found in your Getting Started with Administration guide, which is available on your documentation page.

If you would prefer not to use project templates, you can duplicate a project's billing code contents by copying all activity and task billing codes from one project to another through these steps:

Sign in to your account. You will be brought to your Main Menu screen.
On your Main Menu screen, click the button labeled "Configuration". Your Configuration Sub-Menu screen will be displayed.
On your Configuration Sub-Menu screen, click the button labeled "Other Items". Your Other Items Sub-Menu screen will be displayed.
On your Other Items Sub-Menu screen, click the button labeled "Copy Project". Your Copy Project Codes screen will be displayed.
On your Copy Project Codes screen, select in the "From Project" selector the project from which you would like to copy the activity and task billing codes.
On your Copy Project Codes screen, select in the "To Project" selector the project to which you would like to copy the activity and task billing codes.
With the "From" and "To" projects selected, click the "Copy Project" toolbar button. An information message will appear reminding you of the ability to use project templates and the benefits of using that option rather than performing a project copy over the years. Click the "Ok" button to close the message.
A confirmation message will appear which lists the projects you have set to copy activity and task billing codes from and to. Click the "Yes" button to proceed with the project copy as described in that message.
An information message will appear indicating that your project copy action has been completed. All copied activity and task billing codes will now be available for your use in your target "To" project.

[How Do I..?] Move billed time from one billing code to another

To permanently reassign employee recorded time from one billing code to another, transferring all effort recorded on all timesheets from one project, activity and task code to a different project, activity and task:

Sign in to your account. You will be brought to your Main Menu screen.
On your Main Menu screen, click the button labeled "Configuration". Your Configuration Sub-Menu screen will be displayed.
On your Configuration Sub-Menu screen, click the button labeled "Other Items". Your Other Items Sub-Menu screen will be displayed.
On your Other Items Sub-Menu screen, click the button labeled "Reassign Codes". Your Timesheet Billing Code Reassignment screen will be displayed.
On your Timesheet Billing Code Reassignment screen, select in the "From Billing Code" selectors the project, activity and task from which you would like to move employee time.
On your Timesheet Billing Code Reassignment screen, select in the "To Billing Code" selectors the project, activity and task to which you would like to move employee time.
With the from and to codes specified, click the "Reassign Codes" toolbar button. A confirmation message will appear which prompts you to confirm that your designated project, activity and task billing codes are correct.
Please take a moment to carefully review the project, activity and task values you have set for your code reassignment. All timesheets will be permanently adjusted to move values from your source billing code to your destination billing code. With your selection confirmed, click the "Yes" button to continue.
After all billing codes have been changed to reflect your entered adjustment (which may take a few minutes), a confirmation message will appear indicating that your data change has been completed. Click the "Ok" button to close the message. All timesheet information previously stored under your "From" billing code will now be recorded under your specified "To" billing code, with effort hours and comments merged as appropriate.

[How Do I..?] Convert a template-using project into a stand-alone project with its own activities and tasks

If you would like to change a template-using project in your system to one which stands on its own (with its own set of independently editable activities and tasks):

First, create a new project to use as your new stand-alone project. Do not create any activity or task records for that project, or set it to use a project template. The newly created project should be completely empty.
Using the project copy option, copy the activities and tasks from your old template-using project to the new empty project. All activities and tasks previously referenced in your old template-using project will now be stored as stand-alone activities and tasks accessible through your new project record. The newly copied activities and tasks can now be adjusted without affecting any other system activities and tasks. Any adjustments made to those records for setting estimated completion dates or estimate hours will now only be referenced by those records.
For each activity and task available under the old templated project, perform a billing code reassignment to transfer all hours recorded under each activity and task to the newly created project's activities and tasks.
Once all effort hours and expenses have been transferred from the templated activity and task set in the previous step, your recorded data will be stored and referenced under the new project. The template-using project will now be empty and can be inactivated or deleted as you would like. To confirm that all effort hours and expenses previously referenced by the old template-using project have been moved, a report can be created for that abandoned project to confirm that no data remains recorded for that work.
