Enables the Timesheet > Payroll Admin Management tool. This provides the ability to limit which users a payroll admin will see within the Timesheet Overview. |
Disable Work Order Request Open Prompts |
By default, when users create Work Orders from Requests, a system prompt asks them whether they would like to view the Work Order. Check this option to disable the prompt and have the system automatically opens the Work Order. If this isn't checked, users will continue to be prompted to choose whether or not they wish to view the Work Order. |
Enable Timesheet Locking |
Gives supervisors the ability to lock Timesheet records in the web application after they have been reviewed, thereby preventing anyone from editing, adding, or deleting any related Work Order Resource records. Users who attempt to edit or delete related Resource records will receive a series of warnings indicating that the resource is locked. |

Comma Delim list of UserIds that should not trigger disp/ret notif |
Specifies which users should not trigger dispersal/return notifications when they disperse or return a part. To enable this option, supply a comma-delimited list of Lucity UserIDs (login IDs). |

Note: This option modifies how the Send Parts to Work Order toolkit runs in the Material Requisitions module. |
Integrate Work and Parts Inventory |
Enables the link between the Work modules and the Parts modules. If this option is disabled, users cannot disperse Parts to work orders from the Inventory. |
Make Vendor Part No the Default for Part Lookup |
Determines how the system looks up parts in the Purchase Orders module, the PO Items dialog box in the Vendor module, or the Parts Inventory module.
|
Prevent Negative Part Quantities |
Prevents users from dispersing parts that are not in stock, which in turn prevents the parts inventory from tracking a negative quantity.
|
Prevent Negative Part Quantities at Locations |
Prevents users from dispersing parts from a location that are not in stock at that location, which in turn prevents the parts inventory location from tracking a negative quantity.
|
Use Part Open Inventory Date Range |

Use Partial Defaulting for Accounts |
Enables agencies to use the Work Flow Setup modules to assign a default account number to each employee, task, and category that may be used in a work order. When a work order is created, the corresponding account numbers are combined (using the specified delimiter) to create one account number for the work order. Example:
|
Use Partial Defaulting for Project Num |
Enables agencies to use the Work Flow Setup modules to assign a default project number to each employee, task, and category that may be used in a work order.

|
Populate Resource Dates from Task Dates |
Carries over the Start Date and End Date from the WO Task module to the WO Resource resources. Thus, every Resource (equipment, employee, etc.) has start and end dates that match the Task dates. Note: This option could conflict with the Enforce Resource End Date = Start Date option if both options are enabled. |
Reset Missed Starting Date
|
Sets the system to skip missed work for Fixed Schedule PMs and reset the pms Start Next Date to the next date in the future that fits the schedule. Fixed Schedule PMs miss work when a work order generated from the pm is not closed before the next time the pm should generate a new work order. More information about Dealing with Skipped Work Orders and Fixed Scheduling
For this option, an administrator can select Always, Prompt, or Never.
Note: This option only works for Fixed Schedule PMs. These are PMs that use the Start Date scheduling fields. |
Address Block Range for WOs |
Defines a numerical value indicating how many address numbers are in a block.
|
Carry Over Documents from PM to WO |
