Selection Area

By using the elements in this area, you can select time activities from a specific date range for specific project and employee. The table lists time activities that are ready for release, that is, are assigned the Completed status.

Note: If the Construction Project Management feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, time activities linked to a daily field report can be released only if this daily field report is completed. For more information on processing daily field reports, see Reporting On-Site Work Progress.


Element	Description
Employee	The ID of the employee whose time activities you want to list.
From Date	The start date of the date range for which you want to view the time activities.
Until Date	The end date of the date range for which you want to view the time activities.
Project	The project for which you want to list the time activities.
Project Task	The project task for which you want to list the time activities.
Contract	The contract for which you want to list the time activities. If the Multiple Base Currencies feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and a contract is selected, when you select any activities to process them and create contract usage, the system verifies whether the current branch has the same base currency as the bill-to customer of the contract. If these base currencies are different, the system displays an error message. If the contract has a bill-to customer without a base currency—that is, if the customer has been extended from a branch—the activity can be processed regardless of the current branch.
