Save Mode

There are two options for save mode:

• Up To  - If the time for the specified date has already been entered, the time populate process will try to bring the total number of hours reported for that date up to the specified number.
  
  For example, if 5 hours have already been entered for a given date and the Administrator has chosen the Up To mode and entered 8 hours for that date:

• If the project selected by the Administrator is the same as the existing project on the timesheet, then the total number of hours for that project will be set to 8.  

• If the Administrator selected a new project to which no time was reported on the timesheet, the old 5 hour entry will remain unchanged and a new entry with 3 hours (8 hours minus the already reported 5 hours) will be added.

•  Replace - With this mode, any time reported for that date will be replaced with the hours entered on the time populate entry screen.   
  
  
  For example, if the total entered by the user for that day is 6 hours (for project 1 and project 2) and the Administrator entered 8 hours (for project 3) through time populate, then time populate will remove project 1 and project 2 and insert 8 hours for project 3.

Note: if audit trail is turned on, the time populate process, when in replace mode, will log all the time for the original projects, then set the time for the original projects to zero (0), and add the time for the new projects from the time populate entry screen (but no change reason will be captured).
