Business View ibvStaffTime

Description

This view presents time postings for staff members with computed and joined columns representing additional information about the posting. Only postings linked to staff members are included, so this view is not a reliable method for determining balances, but it can be used to investigate the ratio of chargeable to non chargeable time, and how the non chargeable time is broken down. Only postings that have IncludeWIP equal to 'Y' are included. Specifically, any pure expenses postings are not.

Because of the nature of time ledger postings the volume of data presented by this view without additional criteria will, on a typical site that has been active for a couple of years, be large. Later views cut this view down by selection and aggregation. If you are linking directly to Excel you should not use this view directly (unless you form an SQL statement rather than linking to the entire table) since the volume of data returned will probably swamp the spreadsheet (even when considering pivot table views).

Since this view is steered by the presence of postings, after any aggregation there will be no rows present for accounts and/or period combinations that have no postings present. Absence of an expected row should be taken as implying zero figures.
