Timesheet Period Configuration is one of Tempo’s basic settings that needs to set up right after the Timesheets app is installed. For those who need to have the Timesheets Approval process, Period Management and the Scheduler also need to be configured.
Similarities:
All 3 features - Period Configuration, Period Management, and the Scheduler - are available for Timesheets on both Cloud and Data Center, with some minor differences as described below.
Differences:
Periods and the Scheduler on Cloud
Default period in Period Configuration
Scheduler is in Tempo Settings
Scheduler type - Monthly
Periods and the Scheduler on Data Center
Default and second periods in Period Configuration
Scheduler is in Jira Manage Apps > Tempo
Scheduler type - Period
Here are a few more details on each of these differences:
Period Configuration on Cloud has only one default period, but /wiki/spaces/HCTIMESHEETSDC/pages/3390148325 on Data Center, there are two different Periods for customers who use different calendar years and fiscal years.
The Scheduler on Cloud can be found in Tempo Settings, whereas /wiki/spaces/HCTIMESHEETSDC/pages/3389560306 on Data Center, the Scheduler is inside Jira Manage Apps > Tempo.
The Scheduler type is called “Monthly” on Cloud, but is called “Period” on Data Center.
