I need to create a time sheet extension for one or more of my members

Introduction

Does one or more (but not all) of your reporters need an extension to their service term? Will they need to serve past the end date you initially indicated when creating and assigning them to a time sheet template? No worries, there's an easy two-step fix for that!

• Step 1: Update Your Time Sheet Template End Date
• Step 2: Create Mass Blackout Dates for Members You're NOT Extending

Step 1: Update Your Time Sheet Template End Date

IMPORTANT: Time sheet template end dates may be edited until the launch of the final time sheet period. After that, you'll need to reach out to us at support@americalearns.net for help here.

To update a template, follow these steps:

1. On the left, in your Mission Control, click Time Sheets.
   
   
2. On the right, click Create & manage time sheet templates.
   
   
3. At the bottom, select the template that you’d like to update.
   
   
4. Find the section called Start & End Dates. Next to End Date, click the Edit link.
   
   
5. A window will open. Make your changes and click Save to update with your changes. 

Any changes and updates made to your template are saved automatically and happen instantaneously.

Step 2: Create Mass Blackout Dates for Members You're NOT Extending

Here’s how to add blackout periods for two or more Reporters simultaneously:

1. On the left, in your Mission Control, click Reporters, Staff, & Sites.
   
   
2. On the right, click Manage reporter accounts.
   
   
3. On the right, use the More menu to select Mass-Update Blackout Dates.
   
   
4. The next page will walk you through the four steps to setting up or removing a blackout period.
   
   Step 1: Select the Time Sheet Template at issue.
   
   Step 2: Tell the Impact Suite if you are adding a period for Reporters’ accounts.
   
   Step 3: Set your blackout period’s start and end dates. (Start Date: Day after the service term ended for most members; End Date: The last day of your newly extended time sheet template)
   
   Step 4: Click Display all relevant Reporters below to choose which Reporters’ accounts should be updated.
   
   
   1. Select the names of the Reporters for whom you want to create the blackout date.
      
      
   2. Leave unchecked the Reporters you want to keep the time sheet extension.
      
      
   3. Click Update Selected Members.
      
      
5. You’ll be asked to review and confirm your selection.
   
   
   1. If everything looks good, click I confirm my selection
      
      
   2. Click Update to save
      
      
      
6. On the following page, you’ll see a confirmation of which Reporters’ accounts were updated.
