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.
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.
You must have the relevant permissions to configure rules!
Metrics
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.
It accumulates the total of all time logged on any given day.
One of the preset rules uses the working day metric to ensure that users do not log more than 10 hours on any given working day.
This rule can be read as:
The total of work logged on any given day must be lower than or equal to (<=) 10 hours and 0 minutes for the check to pass 
.
The rest breaks metric lets you define the total duration of the rest break(s) needed on a given working day.
This accumulates the total duration between workload entries on any given day.
According to some regulations a break must have a minimum duration to be counted as such. The duration can be configured in the global Settings.
One of the preset rules uses the rest break metric to ensure that users have a minimum of 30 minutes of rest breaks when their working day exceeds 6 hours.
This rule can be read as:
The total time between worklogs must be greater than or equal to (>=) 0 hours and 30 minutes if a user has logged more than 6 hours on any given working day for the check to pass .
