How do I switch from a Required time period to an Optional time period?

At some organizations filling out time studies on a quarterly schedule, then if the 2 assigned weeks do not work with your schedule, you are permitted to select two different consecutive optional weeks.

You can see the Required/Default weeks under Upcoming Periods on your Dashboard.

Please keep in mind the following:

• If you select a required week, you will have to complete the other required week as well.
• In order to switch to an optional time period, open a week that has been selected for you. Under Optional Time Periods, in the dropbox, select the week you want to start with, keeping in mind that the system will select the next consecutive week for you. Then click the button “Switch to Optional Period.”
  • The weeks will not populate in the dropbox until that week begins (Sunday).
