Customizing Timesheets MTS - Time Periods

Timesheets MTS requires the definition of time periods before any data can be logged into a timesheet. These periods could reflect your internal reporting periods, financial years, financial quarters or whatever you desire. To create a new time period structure you must delete all the existing time periods. You will then be able to add time periods in time order from least recent to most recent or in the future. An added advantage is that super users can choose to lock time periods to prevent old data from being changed.
