Hours+ Project Admins: How to Edit Timecard Settings for Your Crew

Those with Project Admin permission can configure the timecard’s layout for their crew, and even include specific instructions. This can help provide clarity to crew members, helping them submit more accurate timecards.

Note: You will need to have the appropriate permission in Hours+ to edit these details for crew members. If you do not have access, reach out to your CSM for assistance.

 

  1. Log in to Hours+ and open the project for which you would like to edit the Timecard instructions.Hours+ Project List
  2. Click the gear settings icon in the top left corner, next to the name of your project.

  5. Choose whether each field should appear by default on the timecard or be placed in the 'More Options' menu.

    1. For example: Let’s say your show plans for long days next week. You expect most days to have a break for dinner. To assist the crew with where to put in their Meal 2 times, we can expose the “Meal 2” field directly on their timecard.

    2. If you need to change this later, you can come back to the Timecard Settings page and move Meal 2 back to the crew’s “More Options” menu.
  6. Continue these steps as you scroll down. The timecard fields you can update are specific to your project’s setup.
  7. If you’d like to preview how the timecard will look to your crew members, click Preview as Crew Member in the top-right corner.
  8. You’ll see a mobile-style preview of the crew member’s timecard experience where you can review both the default fields and those placed in the more options menu.
