I want the Department field in Employee Setup to show on my time card as part of the punch. How would I do that?
Answer
To do this you would need two things:

1. A free labor code prompt (x,y,z) under Accountant Menu > Clock Prompts
2. A short script (entered here: Accountant Menu > Custom Processing / Rounding Rules > PROC. RULES (ADD SCRIPT)) like the below which generates the Department field in Employee Setup under the x prompt:

x = department;

With the clock prompt you can even have it deactivated and this information will generate on the time card. You may want to label the column though by entering a name in the "What do you want to name this field in time cards / reports?" for the prompt.

Fields that can be generated and added to the time card from Employee Setup using this method are:

1. Department
2. Location
3. Supervisor
4. Home1
5. Home2
6. Home3
7. Start Date (called "startdate" without quotes for scripting)
8. Default Payrate (called "payrate0" without quotes for scripting)
9. Alternate Payrate 1 (called "payrate1" without quotes for scripting)
10. Alternate Payrate 2 (called "payrate2" without quotes for scripting)
11. Alternate Payrate 3 (called "payrate3" without quotes for scripting)
