The Load Time Clock Entries (LTCE) screen is a new function that is used to load Clock Entries; this was formally done using UTCIO. The entries are loaded based on a comma delimited source file. This source file must match an interface format specified in [IDIF]. The LTCE function will look for an interface code called LTCE.

;Step 1 - Define Interface Format in [IDIF]
;:An interface format is needed for the LTCE to load time sheets with Start and End times. The specific interface format may be seen in the page [LTCE INTERFACE FORMAT].
%%label-info The LTCE is limited in the overall number of interfaces that it will process and will not allow local files to be loaded. \\
\\
It is recomended that [LMTD] should be used as a replacement as it allows more processing options.%%

;Step 2 - Define Site Preferences in [IMST]
;:Within the [IMST] screen, the administrator must define where the Extract and Load files are located and where the load functions are to write the exception files to. These locations are used by the functions to create and retrieve information. The customer can modify these values to represent any directory on their system, which is convenient.
Additional information pertaining to Clocking may be found in the [Clocking|CLOCK INFORMATION] page.
!Step 1 - Define Interface Format in [IDIF]

;:The extract directory is defined using the [EXTRCT DATA FLDR] preference. The load directory is defined using the [LOAD DATA FLDR] preference. The [ATTACHMENTS FLDR] must be specified so the load functions know where to write the report exceptions log to.
The LTCE will look for an IDIF interface code “LTCE” for the file structure.

;Step 3 - Run LTCE to load the file
;:Launch the LTCE function specifying the appropriate parameters as indicated below.
The extract directory is defined using the [EXTRCT DATA FLDR|EXTRCT DATA FLDR(System_Preference)] preference. The load directory is defined using the [LOAD DATA FLDR|LOAD DATA FLDR(System_Preference)] preference. The [ATTACHMENTS FLDR|ATTACHMENTS FLDR(System_Preference)] must be specified so the load functions know where to write the report exceptions log to.

;Step 4 - Review Report and Exception File for Results
;:During the load process, all non-fatal exceptions as well as the number of insertions and updates (by table) are logged in the execution run logs. After the load process completes, a report is written to a text file indicating the number of records read, number of records bypassed, number of records processed, number of records that were bypassed because an identical one already existed in the table, and number of records updated/inserted by table. The report will display all non-fatal business exceptions encountered during the load with a record number indicating for which record the exception occurred. The report will also display the amount of time that was taken for the load process to complete.
If the full path is not specified here, then the path used by the HL Application Directory will apply. The user who is running the LTCE must have Read/Write/Create access to this directory on the server.

;:There are 2 tiers of exceptions that can be generated during the load process. The first tier involves extracting and building data from the source file and the second involves processing the extracted data. However, there will only be ONE exception for each failed load. Basically, if the record fails to build data correctly, the program will not bother loading it so you will never see 2 exceptions for a single failed record load.
!Step 3 - Run LTCE to load the file
Launch the LTCE function specifying the appropriate parameters as indicated below.
