Dear all,

Just for keeping you informed, refreshing your memory, and answering some of your questions related to time registration:

· YES, time registration is still mandatory for all scientists, project staff and most research support staff (like CKM, RMG and now also EOHS)

· 2016 has been closed and can no longer be used to enter data. Time reports for 2016 are still available (go to: information pages/other reports)

· 2017 Is open for registration: you should be able to register to your 2016 activities and any new 2017 activities are being added at the moment and should be complete soon.

· Next month I will present our OCS roll out plan for all staff in the regions. This will include Time registration training for all regional staff (within coming months)

· As soon as regional staff is also writing time, we can do better completeness checks and the automatic reminders will be switched on again

· In order to make time registration a more useful tool for managers, the functionality will be enhanced as part of the Project Management Framework and include possibilities for entering remarks and time categories (Will inform you when it happens in Q2)

So please all, get your 2017 time registered as soon as possible and try to build a auto mechanism to fill your time each week! As supervisor, please also approve time each week

If you have any questions please let me know, if you would like to receive a refresher course, please write to the servicedesk. Can all be arranged

Thank you and enjoy your weekend!
