Navigate to [https://connect.threadhcm.com/default.aspx](https://connect.threadhcm.com/default.aspx)

Click "Client Management"

Expand "Tables" menu

First you need to add the items on Organization Table or Labor Table. This will depend on your setup. If you're not sure, you can ask your Account Manager. \ **Open "Organization Table"**

Choose the Organization Level you need to add to.

On the right side you'll see your list, Then click **Add New** to add your item. \ Include a Code and Description. Then click **Save**

Once you've added the Items you need. Click **Time Management** in the menu to move to the next step.\ Then Click **Labor Groups**

Here you'll see the Labor Groups you have set up to choose on the timecard.

If you already have a Group set up, click the **Items** tab. If there wasn't already a group set up, you'll probably want to reach out to your account manager. You can choose Add New and then choose the Labor Field you want to select, but it's something we can help with to ensure the setup is correct.

Click **Add New,** choose the item from the drop down that this is connected to. Then enter the name and the number. This may feel repetitive, but this information here usually matches the Organization or Labor Field we entered on the earlier steps.

There is one last step to make sure this is set up correctly. We might have already turned this on for you, but if you have the access, you can go to **Time Card Permissions**

Choose the rule that these employees are in.

At the bottom of the screen, you can edit some of the timecard access settings. Click **Edit**\ Make sure the checkbox next to your Labor Group is selected. Then you can determine how the employee can update their info. \ \ If you have any additional questions on these settings, please reach out.

On the far right if this section you can click restrict.

Most setups in here won't have anything checked, so employees can see all options.

Click "Save"

To test this out on an employee's time card, you can \ Click **Employee Self Service >** **Time >** **Time Card**\ Select an employee from list

Click on the time card, choose **Punch** and then you should see the option in the dropdown for an employee. If something it missing, retrace your steps, this employee might not have this access, or please reach out.\ \ Don't save this punch unless you want this record on their timecard.
