The Default Assignment feature reduces the instances of time pairs existing on a Timecard which are either not associated with an Assignment or associated with the incorrect Assignment.


This article explains how Default Assignment functions with the various time capture methods and how to designate an Assignment as the Default for an employee.


Time Capture

TR905

If a Default Assignment is designated, punches will reflect the Default unless a different Assignment is selected by the employee when they punch. If a Default Assignment has not been designated for an employee with multiple active Assignments and the portal is not configured to allow employees to select an Assignment, an alert for "Unable to Identify Assignment" will display on the Timecard.

If an employee has multiple active Assignments, they are prompted to select one when they punch. If an Assignment is designated as the employee's Default Assignment, it will be pre-selected in the Assignments dropdown. If there is no Default Assignment, the Assignment associated with the most recent time pair will be pre-selected in the Assignments dropdown.
