Managing Classification Requirements in Time Cards

Occasionally classification requirements on time cards must be made or adjusted. When those adjustments are required you are able to adjust classification specific settings as they relate to time card capture. Below are the steps you can take to adjust classification settings for time cards.

  1. Log into the Raken Web App.

  2. Click the Company button on menu on the left side of the page.

  3. Select the Time settings option from the menu that appears.

    1. Please note that time policies must be enabled in your account.

  4. Select the Advanced option that appears.

  5. The bottom two toggles on the page allow you to adjust settings related to classifications on time cards.

    1. Require classifications on time cards - When enabled this setting requires that all time cards created have a classification included as part of the time card.

    2. Restrict classification editing on time cards - Employees can have a default classification set to their employee profile. In some cases this default classification should not be adjusted on a time card. When enabled employees are not able to adjust the classification that appears in their time card.

  6. Once the desired settings are adjusted click the orange Save button in the top right corner of the page.
