System options

System>General>System Options

System options are system-wide or global settings, and include the following properties:

Property	Description
Crew Timesheets	If enabled then crew timesheets are available. Crew timesheets allow you to quickly record and track time for groups (crews) of employees using a large grid-style timesheet. Note: You can change the terminology 'Crew' to suit your organization's needs.
Expense, Asset and Log Tracking	If enabled then Expense, Asset and Log tracking is available. this allows the tracking expenses, materials, equipment, production, field documentation and logs against projects and jobs. Note: You can change the terminology 'Asset' to suit your organization's needs.
Export File EOL	This setting allows you to specify the type of EOL (End Of Line) character to use when generating text export files, such as CSV (Comma Separated Values) data. What you choose here will depend upon what external applications you wish to integrate with. Most applications support the LF (Line Feed) character. However some Windows applications do require CR+LF (Carriage Return and Line Feed) characters.
Import File Blank Values	Blank number and date values are generally ignored in import files, to avoid accidentally clearing out existing values. You can change this default behavior by choosing the "Don't Ignore Blank Values" option: when this is set a blank date or numeric value in an import file will clear out the appropriate value in the Pacific Timesheet object.
Enabled Currencies	Select which currencies are applicable for you organization. Users will only be able to choose a currency type from the list of enabled currencies. For easiest data entry for your users you should enable as few currency types as possible so they do not have to navigate a long menu of options. Enabling or disabling currencies will not affect any previously entered data: this setting only alters the list of currency types a user can select when entering, say, and expense entry in a local currency.
Picker Button Width	The picker button is the menu button that lets you choose projects, tasks, expenses, etc. on many pages of the application.  When used on pages where real estate is at a premium, such as the Crew Timesheet or Expense Sheet pages, it may be helpful to specify a maximum width in order prevent the page from becoming too wide and unwieldy.  The value you specify is in units of "em", meaning the size of the widest character in the alphabet, e.g. "M" (which is where the name "em" comes from).  So if you specify a value of 20 then you are guaranteed to see at least 20 characters, and generally many more as most characters are not as wide as "M".  If a value is truncated then you can always see the full value by simply clicking the menu button.
Mobile Picker Fields	You can control how much information is displayed in the list of projects, expenses, etc. shown when you search for these items in the mobile client.  You may not want to show the description, for instance, if you prefer to see more items at one time on the screen.
