Managing GCGR Defaults
Note: Only Global Admins have the ability to manage GCGR Defaults within Ediphi.
In Ediphi, you can pre-configure default settings for GCGRs to streamline your workflows. There are three main defaults you can customize: Default Properties, Default GR Labor Categories, and GR Labor Types. This article will guide you through managing each GCGR default setting step by step.
In this article:
How are GCGR Defaults Used in Ediphi
- Default Properties
- Default Properties are the allowances you can define for each GCGR. These fields are located in the GCGR creation/edit screen as well as the Staffing tab under Rates.
- Default GR Labor Categories
- Default GR Labor Categories (also known as Crew Categories in the GR Labor tab of GCGRs), are configured in the Admin menu. Once set, these categories will be used on new GCGRs going forward.
