Scenario:
Clock prompt is setup to allow employees to enter which department they are clocking into. The department needs to be a numeric value only in order to be entered on many (if not all) physical clocks.
On the employee timecards, the numeric value that was keyed in will be displayed as the employee's department. Many users want to see the name of the department instead.
To accommodate that, it currently requires scripting.
Proposal:
Add a processing rule called DepartmentCodeTranslation where the user can enter "Department_Number=Department_Name, pretty much identical to the PayCodeTranslation rule.
E.g. 100=Management
200=Admin
300=HR
Then, on the timecard, display the value of the prompt as Department_Number-Department_Name.
E.g. 100-Management
200-Admin
300-HR
This would streamline setup for clients who use a clock prompt for labor allocation and is much easier to update than a script.
