Information

This section contains links that allow you to manage settings related to the information for the entire site.

Regional Settings

The Site Manager can set the date and time format to match what is used in his or her geographical area. This information is used in OfficeClip to represent time and date throughout the site. OfficeClip provides three types of date and time formats:

setup regional settings

Short Date & Time Format - is used mainly for screens where the user inputs the date and time manually (or via a calendar interface).

Medium Date & Time Format - is used where date and time are displayed in lists.

Long Date & Time Format - is used for reports and at the top of the OfficeClip toolbar.

To change regional settings:

  1. Click Settings > Entire Site > Information > Regional Settings .
  2. You will see the different kinds of Date and Time formats in use.
  3. >The user can set the required date and time format by selecting it from the drop-down menus.
  4. Once the preferred formats are selected, click Save.

Holidays

Site holidays, once set by the Site Manager, will apply throughout the site and will be useful in various applications, such as Calendar, and Timesheet and Expense. The site holidays can be set for your country from a selection of different countries. A holiday displays in the application with a different background color.

To set up the Site Holidays:

  1. Click Settings > Entire Site > Information > Holidays
  2. Select a country and a year from the drop-down menus.
  3. To add a holiday, click the Add Holiday button on the right side of the Manage Holidays screen..

  4. Select the date, icon, and name, and click Save.

  5. To edit holidays, click on the icon or to delete a holiday, click on the icon from the Actions column.
CAUTION:

The system comes pre-populated with known holidays in different countries. Once you have selected the country and the year, you can change them to suit your site policy. However, if the country or date drop-down is changed after this, all the changes made previously will be lost.

Login Ids

This option allows site managers to set a login Id for each OfficeClip user. This is required if OfficeClip is used in conjunction with any LDAP server (e.g., Windows Active Directory). Each OfficeClip email address can be associated with a unique login Id, making it easy for users to login with their own Id. When OfficeClip is used in an Active Directory environment, the user can log in to OfficeClip with the same password as he or she does to log in to Windows. The user then has to remember only one password. To use this feature, the Site Manager must put in the password of each user.

setup login ids

To update the login IDs:

  1. Click Settings > Entire Site > Information > Login Ids
  2. Enter the appropriate login Id for the users in the list shown and, when finished, click Save.
