Scripting - Concatenation
The scripting process can handle concatenation meaning it can append information such as adding something to the end of an identifier such as an entry from a clock prompt if it meets certain requirements for the script to activate.

Below is an example of this:

if(department <>"")
{
if("MTWRF" contains weekday(punchdate))
category =department +"1";
if("S" contains weekday(punchdate))
category =department +"2";
if("U" contains weekday(punchdate))
{
category =department +"3";
}}

This example changes the category/job code to the department field in Employee Setup and adds a 1, 2 or 3 to the end of the department depending on the day of the punch. In this example:

1. If the punch is on Mon-Fri, it will add a 1 to the end of the department (i.e. 7985 changes to 79851).
2. If the punch is on Saturday it will add a 2 to the end of the department (i.e. 7985 changes to 79852).
3. If the punch is on Sunday it will add a 3 to the end of the department (i.e. 7985 changes to 79853).

NOTE: This script will also work in TimeWorksPlus with one change, "department" would be referred to as "employee.department".
