Total Definitions

Use the Total Definition building block to set up totals definitions for selected pay codes and accrual codes. A totals definition contains the sum of a specific calculation, such as hours worked or sick time earned. Total definitions are assigned to the View Totals configurable transaction.

Devices can display totals balances for home employees when totals definitions are configured and Employee totals is included in the list of transactions available to download to a device. Each totals definition has one system-wide setting. Each device can accept no more than seven totals definitions.

To use the Total Definition building block:

1. Click Tap New to create a new total definition, or select an existing total definition and click tap Duplicate to copy it or Edit to modify it. Delete a definition by selecting it and clicking tapping Delete .
2. The Total Definition editor window displays. Required fields are marked by an asterisk (*).
3. You can filter the list of total definitions by clicking tapping Filter and entering a search string in the empty cells immediately beneath the column headings.
2. Enter or modify the Name of the total definition (maximum of 20 characters).
3. Enter or modify the Description.
4. Select Pay Code or Accrual Code in the Type of total section.
   • A pay code designates a specific type of pay; for example, regular rate, overtime, or holiday rate.
   • An accrual code designates a benefit that an employee earns over time; for example, vacation time, or sick time.
5. Specify the desired pay code or accrual code in the appropriate drop-down list.
6. When you are finished, click tap Save to save your edits or Cancel to dispose of them.
