Class Efforts

Classes of Effort are used to add additional classification to time entry records, which can affect the calculation of the cost of time spent. If a time entry record has a class of effort assigned to it, the cost of time spent is calculated automatically by multiplying the time spent (in hours) by the hourly rate of the person who spent that time, and multiplying by a cost factor specified in the class of effort.

If time entry records are used to create invoices for client organizations where time was spent, classes of effort can be integrated into the financial system to calculate correct invoice amounts.

Only a user with the account administrator role or directory administrator role can manage the classes of effort for this space.

The effort class fields page provides recommendations for using each field of the effort class form.
