The locale controls which configuration settings are being added, edited, or deleted. A company can have numerous configurations, each based on a different locale.

Locale is a non-editable field that displays the locale code followed by the locale description. When the screen is first loaded, the default locale is based on the systems default country and language code. When the system is shipped, the default Locale is set to "US/en."

With the release of Deltek Time\Expense\Self Service  7.1, the following additional locales are supported:  

• FR/fr – France/French

• DE/de – Germany/German

• GB/en – Great Britain/English

• NL/nl – Netherlands/Dutch

• ES/es – Spain/Spanish

• US/es - United States/Spanish

• AU/en - Australia/English

To change to a different locale, use the search option. Only locales defined in the General Configuration screen are available when searching.

Note: Information entered for the default Locale is used for all locales you have set up in the system.  The Signature/Approval Text field in the UDT Options tab and the Rate 1 and Rate 2 labels in the Miscellaneous tab are locale specific, meaning they can be different for each locale.

This non-editable column displays the label defined in the General Configuration screen, depending on the locale being viewed.

Select this checkbox to make this field a required entry on the timesheet.  The UDT01 and UDT10 Required columns are always checked and cannot be changed.

Select this checkbox if you want the UDT ID default to be calculated. The default will come from the employee's history record, if one is present. If not, the system will default to the first valid UDT value based on the ID.

Select this checkbox if you want the UDT value to be validated during timesheet entry. If you are not using the UDT, this checkbox will be disabled. There are numerous validations that can occur when you exit a cell. Following are a few examples:

• The UDT that is supplied must exist in the appropriate UDT table.

• The UDT01 must have a "Timesheet" or "Both" Type in the UDT01 Types screen.

• The UDT must be active.

• The UDT must allow charging.

• Depending on the selected linkage, appropriate records must exist in the link tables.

• A UDT that works in conjunction with a Costpoint company must have a UDT company that matches the employee's company.

Note: The UDT01 and UDT10 Validate columns are always selected and cannot be changed.

Select this checkbox if you want the UDT to display on the timesheet.

Select this checkbox if you want the UDT to appear on printed copies of the timesheet.  The first six UDTs that are used and designated for printing will print on the timesheet.

Select the type of text that you are entering. The available options are "Signature" and "Approval." By default, "Signature" displays.

Enter the text, up to 254 characters, that will display to employees when they sign their timesheets or to supervisors when they approve timesheets.
