Allocating stages to employee categories

Accountants Enterprise only

When you add a stage to a schedule, the employee category defaults to -Unspec-.

You can keep the default setting or, for better control over resourcing and reporting, allocate the stage to a specific employee category.

If you allocate the stage to:

Unspecified—No specific person or employee type (e.g., manager, senior accountant, etc.) is assigned to complete the work. As a result, any employee can create a timesheet against the stage and tasks.
This is the system default. If your practice maintains this setting, there is no need to complete the procedure below.

A specific employee category—For example, manager or administration. Only employees in the selected category can create a timesheet against the stage and tasks.
