Configuring Preferences

You can configure the following features:

  • Mobile Layout - By default, the mobile application renders for a mobile phone. Choose Tablet/Non-phone for a different device.

  • Approvals Pie Graphic - You can configure a pie graphic to represent a specific type of time and to appear at the top of the Approvals screen as well as next to each timesheet in your To Approve list. Types of time are: Billable Time, Administrative Time, Portfolio Time, Project Time, Capitalized, or (no graphic). The top-level graphic is a legend displaying the type of time. At the individual timesheet level, the graphic represents the percent of time represented by that time type on that timesheet.
