Current: Portal Preferences
Portal Preferences controls how the Admin Portal behaves for supervisors and office users in your company. Changes made here apply across the company. To override Admin Portal preferences for one supervisor instead of the whole company, go to Supervisors and use the 
icon in that supervisor's Actions column.
This composite image shows all possible options. See details below for each section.
Some advanced options may be hidden until Telephone Timesheets enables them for your company. If you need an option that is not visible in your account, contact support@telephonetimesheets.com.
Option Descriptions
General
Use 12-hour time format

Auto-expand advanced options
Automatically expands Advanced Options in supported edit dialogs so those settings are visible without an extra click.
Excel import formula protection
Adds a single quote before exported cell values that could be interpreted as Excel formulas. This helps protect exports from spreadsheet formula injection, but it can affect later imports into some spreadsheet tools.

Adds call and text shortcuts to supported address books and contact areas in the Admin Portal so users can dial from the browser more easily.
