Exception Categories

The exceptions that appear on the Exception Tile (also known as the Manage Timecards tile) are grouped into categories. Each category appears as a slat on the tile and includes information such as the number and types of exceptions.

Categories are configurable and include, by default:

  • Must Fix
  • Need Review
  • Miscellaneous

Additional categories can be created if needed.

Note: The Pending Changes and Clean Timecards categories, which are also available by default, are configured in the Exception Tile setup.

To create or edit Exception Categories you must have Exception Category and Tile Setup set to allowed in your function access profile.
