I feel like the "Duplicate" function provides a lot of opportunity for hours to get doubled up on if it is used and not paid attention to properly since it makes another copy of whatever job line you "Duplicate", including hours. If the reviewer uses the "Duplicate" function because they need to move some of the hours on that line to a new line with a new job/phase code, they will have to delete out the hours not applicable on both lines... we've seen this step being forgotten in several cases and ultimately the employee's hours gets over-reported because the reviewer forgot to delete hours out of both lines. If it simply didn't copy the hours to the new line, I think this would make more sense to an end user trying to move time from one line to a new line...just delete the hours from the old line applicable to the new line, and make sure they are correctly in the new line.

I agree with this comment, if you turn off the duplicate function how can you add a new code? Perhaps an "add row" would be better.
Doesn't that take away the duplicate function altogether though? We still need reviewers to be able to add new lines, I just don't want the hours to copy when they add new lines.
Hi Garret,
You can disable this by navigating to Admin > Portal Settings > Timecard > Job Time approval > unselecting "Enable Split". If you feel more frustrations with this page, perhaps meeting with an implementer would be advised.
Best
