The purpose of this idea is to gives users the ability to enter schedules in TimeSimplicity in military time just like they can when they use the basic scheduler or are editing timecards in TimeWorksPlus. This will prove to offer a more integrated experience for those accounts that are using military time.
In TWP, if a client wanted to enter a schedule or a punch from 9:00am - 5:00pm, they have the ability to enter that in military time as 9:00 - 17:00. In TS, however, you have to enter the schedule as 9:00am - 5:00pm, you cannot use military time. This creates a disconnect for users that are accustomed to using military time or have their TWP accounts set to display in military time but can't make entries in military time in TS.
By implementing the ability to use military time to enter schedules in TS, TWP and TS will work together better and more uniformly for clients wishing to take advantage of this capability across all products in the suite, not just TWP.

Exactly, Bill.
Even if on the Company Rules > Company menu "Time Format" is set to *display* times as AM/PM/civilian time, it would be especially helpful if TS still supported the ability to *enter* the schedules in military time and then convert that to civilian time.
E.g. If I enter "17" in the hours field, the system would automatically switch AM to PM and change 17 to 5.

You can currently change TS to support military time. Are you just saying that you want the times to display regularly, but that you can type in military time and the product will translate to regular time?
