Time Template
A time template is a working week: for each weekday, the time in and out, the working hours, the tolerances, and whether it is a weekend or a flexible day.
What it is for
A new template starts with the seven days filled in. Working Hours is worked out from Time In and Time Out (past midnight counts into the next day). A flexible day has no clock times, only hours. A weekend day cannot be flexible.
Calendars name a time template for each date range. The HR product (PeopleNest) reads it for attendance and payroll; no Businessflo screen reads it.

How to configure it
The screen allows import, so a long list can be loaded from a file instead of typed. Which fields are required, greyed, hidden or pre-filled for a company is set on Organizational Structure Setting, in its Default Parameters grid, and one user can differ through User Parameter Value.

If something looks wrong
- “Line ID: … - Time Out must differ from Time In” A working day has the same Time In and Time Out.
- “Line ID: … - … needs Hours” An Absent or Half Day condition needs its hours (HR product).
