Rules are basically checks, that can be combined and bundled in Reports. Once a report is run against a timesheet, all rules will be executed against the selected timesheet. 

Timesheet Check comes with basic metrics like the length of working days or daily rest periods to get started right away. Based on these metrics, rules are set up in minutes to meet any regulations or policies.

Elements of a rule


A rule, apart from a name and an optional description, consists of three key elements - a metric, an operator, and a value.

The metrics are built-in, whereas the operators and values can be customized by the users.
