The way PC auto-fills the next time card line is incomprehensible to me. First of all it always increases the date by one day so I almost always have to go back one day since our employees work on many different projects during the day. Next of all the program auto-fills most often with values from several lines back. Just now, I entered the Transaction Type of "Project" on the first 5 lines and then on the 6th line, I entered "Equipment". From that line on, even though I kept changing each line's Transaction Type to "Project", PC kept auto-filling with "Equipment". It all just makes no sense to me.
So I would ask for some user options on how it does this. (i.e. Increase/Don't Increase Date, Repeat last line, Blank line, etc) so that how the program would stop putting values in that have to be changed every time.

You should be able to choose if you want to keep a piece of equipment with the next line. Some people always have the same equipment number but, we have some that always change.
Nearly 5 years old. Autofill should be tied to prior line. Jumping to the next day (especially when it's out of the payroll period date) makes no sense at all. Oftentimes we are putting people to multiple projects on the same day. The advance of date or jumping to a random date in the future is a time waster.
and why is it that it auto fills based on something other than the prior line ?
No Auto fill would be better, than the auto-fill we currently have
I agree. I enter time by project, but it is a real time consumer to have to keep changing the date. Our employees work on the same job for weeks/months but they work on multiple cost codes so have to plus or minus the date is a real pain. I think one suggestion would be when setting up the job have the option to enter the normal work date (Example: 8 per day, 10 per day). At least this way you wouldn't have to keep changing the date. I also find the pre-fill of the cost code annoying, as they don't always work on the same codes. There needs to be more flexibility. In Management Suite when you entered time it didn't jump to a new day or employee until you manually changed it. I much prefer that then what we have in PC.
