OnTrax Timesheets allows project managers to communicate project requirements to subordinates who are creating postings for projects. The OnTrax Timesheets message section allows the storage of project specific messages related to each type of posting occurring in the system.
The Project/Budget specific messages are stored in the associated project/budget maintenance screens on the "Messages" tab. There are four messages available for each project in OnTrax Timesheets. The messages will appear on the specific input screens and are only visible to those authorized to post against the project.
Time Message- This message appears to time entry users when they select the project to enter time against. It can be a reminder, or as simple as the type of project for easier identification
Expense Message- When a user is authorized and enters the expense entry area, the expense message associated with that project will appear. This can be a message about deadlines for reimbursement policy or whatever is required
General Expense Message- General Expenses can be posted against by managers of a project and are typically used for tracking expenses that are project related and not associated with a particular user ID.
Project Plan Message- Project plan messages will appear on the project plan, whether it is task or item based. This message will only be visible to users authorized to access the project planning functionality of a project.
