Configuring Time Limit

Time limit is applied to the number of hours, which can be submitted in a time report on a certain occupation in the project. It means, that a user will not be able to submit more hours, than limited.

The system administrator can enable time report limit for projects on the project type page, Time Report tab. To edit the time limit, you have to have the access permissions. These permissions are assigned by the system administrator on the project type page, Permissions tab. To learn more about configuring a project type, see the respective Help section.
