Disable search in Time & Expense Entry?

And… another one bookmarked thanks for that it will come in handy.

Becuase people are too nosy for their own good sometimes. And, people are too damn sensitive as well… So I was trying to avoid “issues” in the future.

The T&E screen defaults to the employee attached to the current user record, so by making the txtEmpNum control read-only, disabling the open with, and disabling the search toolbar button, I’ve basically made it only work for the logged in employee. I thought about putting in some code that would just check to see of the EmpID matched the CurrentEmpID, but this seems to work, so I didn’t bother.

@Mark_Wonsil, all I can say is be glad you are not a government sub-contractor!

We also use to have shared Windows & Epicor logins for the shop MES computers, then the government passes a Cyber Security ruling that included NIST 800-171, which requires the ability to know who accessed/modified/deleted information, and shared logins does not allow us to do that. So every employee will have a login, and I’m looking at setting up SSO as well.

On top of that, we just had a DCAA audit for a new SBIR contract that has all of these labor recording & approving requirements, which includes direct labor employees to have their own password to clock in & out…

It’s going to be a long next 2 months…

Would it be easier to put a BPM with an exception in the GetListForTE where you check for the logged in user and the employee that is being searched for has to match? I’m not 100% sure is that would work, bit if it does, if anyone tries to search, it won’t pull anything up. They might still be able to see a list of employees, but they won’t be able to open the records.

Just a thought.

Bahaha! Oh @nhutchins, I know your pain all too well. We made B-1B, F16, and Patriot launcher parts. Back in the day, we had a full-time DCAA auditor in our building but all of our time keeping was kept on paper! (Mid to late 80s) Thank goodness we weren’t fully computerized in the shop! I feel for you man. Hang in there!!!
