Common tasks

Overview​

The worksheet "Common Tasks" shows the tasks that are always and by default available in every project.

Tip: If the display of the Common tasks in a project is to be prevented, this can be prevented via the checkbox "Do not display Common tasks during selection". can be prevented.

Access Rights for General Tasks​

For each general task, you can specify individually which employees are allowed to book it. The access rights are configured directly for the respective task.

To do this, double-click the activity to open it. In the “Access Rights” tab, you can then specify the authorized employees.

The following rules apply:

  • No restriction: If no specific access rights are defined for an activity, all employees may book it, provided they are authorized for the respective project.
  • Restricted access: If specific employees are assigned to a task, only those employees may book it, provided they are also authorized for the respective project.
  • Project authorization takes precedence: Authorization for a general task never extends access rights to a project.

Activity permissions are therefore always a subset of project permissions. Activity permissions can be used to further restrict access within a project, but not to expand it.

Note: If general activities are hidden in the project settings, they will not be available for selection in that project, regardless of the assigned activity permissions.

On-call service​

In TimePunch, it is possible to enter a period or duration as On-call service. To do this, it is necessary to first create a new activity with the booking type "On-call service".

In this context, it is important that the On-call service entries can be credited as a percentage of the working time. This is done via the setting "Time factor".

Tip: On-call service is preferably created in TimePunch via the context menu "Create series entries". Here, the from - to date as well as the duration per day can be defined for the series entry.
