Warning: Invalid templates based on departments

This warning message displays when a department is added or removed from a task that is used on a template that is assigned to an active position. The template cannot be assigned to an position because the template includes an invalid department, a department was deleted from the template, or a department was added to the template and the department does not include the position. 

Warning message

 

Removing a department from a task code will make the template unusable in Connect Online. To allow Connect Online to use the template, choose an option.  

  • Yes will remove the template from the active positions that are assigned to the department. If you choose this option, you will need to add a new template to the employees in the department who use the template. 

  • No will leave the template attached to active positions that are assigned to the department. If you choose this option, you can add the department that was deleted back to the task code or you can replace the task tied to the deleted department with a task tied to an active department.

 

 

 

Adding the deleted department to the task code

If the department was deleted from the task code and the department is still an active department, you can add the department to the task code to fix this error. 

Do this...

1. Open Connect Timekeeping Organization Task Codes. 

2. Click to select the Departments tab. 

3. Click Add Departments .

 

Replacing the task code on a template

Another option if you do not want to delete the template is to replace the task code that is not tied to a department with a task code that is tied to an active department that is assigned to the position. 

Do this...

1. Open Connect Timekeeping Employees Modify Existing Employees. 

2. Click to select the Positions tab Templates tab. 

3. Click to select a task from the employee position template. 

4. Click Remove the Selected Template .
