QuickBooks Time required fields

I have required fields in QB Time but one of the employee's fields are blank. Why does it not require this one person to fill in required fields and how can I fix that?  I've checked all his settings but I can't see anything that would cause this.  Everyone else has to fill in the fields to save their time sheets.

QuickBooks Time required fields

There are possible reasons why your employee isn't required to fill in the required fields, @diannebf. I've got some resolutions we can make to fix this.

 

Let's start by reviewing if you assigned an employee a required custom field. If he's appointed 0 custom field items, he won’t be able to clock out or edit timesheets where that custom field displays.

 

Another reason might be there are no items added within a field. In this case, follow the steps below:

 

  1. Go to Feature Add-ons, then select Custom Fields.
  2. Select the field you want to modify.
  3. Select + Add Item.
  4. Enter the name, and go back, then select Save

 

If you'd like to restrict fields and items to prevent accidentally filling out unnecessary fields, refer to this article: Set up and manage custom fields in QuickBooks Time.

 

Scan this guide to add time off on the web dashboard: Set up and Manage Time Off in QuickBooks Time.

 

Stay in touch if you have any other concerns about custom fields. Please know I’m always ready to help you. Have a productive day!

I'm not sure what that last screen is in your post because I couldn't find it, but I did all the things you suggested and still I have only one person who seems to be able to save his timesheets without the required fields filled in.  Not sure what else to do.  It's a bit tedious because I have to update every timesheet before I import to QB.

I tried all those things and they look like all the other employees' files.  Still this one employee saves his timesheets without the required fields filled in.  I have no idea what is different about this one.  I've looked at all the settings.
