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.
Metric
The metric is the 🧡 of a rule and can be seen as a framework, or a built-in check that defines what you can configure inside of a rule.
The working day metric lets you define the minimum or maximum length of a regular working day.
This metric accumulates the total of all time logged on any given day.
One of our preset rules uses the working day metric to ensure that users do not log more than 10 hours on any given workday.
This rule can be read as:
The total of work logged on any given day must be less than or equal to (<=) 10 hours and 0 minutes.
