How to Add a Time Type

Overview

Time Types define how labor time is categorized and how it affects labor cost calculations in LLumin CMMS+. Each Time Type includes a description and a time factor that is used to multiply labor time or labor cost.

Common examples include:

  • Regular
  • Overtime

Administrators can add new Time Types, adjust descriptions, and update time factors as needed.

Navigate to Time Types

  1. Select the Gear icon in the top navigation bar, and then select Admin Mode.

     

  2. Select Asset & Work Management > Time Types.

     

  3. The Time Types page displays a table where each row represents a Time Type.

     

  4. Columns include:
    • Time Type: A numeric sequence used to order the list.
    • Description: The name of the Time Type (for example, Regular, Overtime, Double Time).
    • Time Factor: A multiplier used in labor cost or time calculations.

You will typically see at least two standard Time Types:

  • Regular with a Time Factor of 1.0.
  • Overtime with a Time Factor of 1.5.
