Time Periods Before - This field partially determines the number of timesheets that will be available on the PDA device. To keep data volumes low, you may consider keeping this value low. The current timesheet (time period) will always be included, this determines the number to include prior to the current time period. This field will only be available if you have a UnaTime license.

Time Periods After - This field partially determines the number of timesheets that will be available on the PDA device. To keep data volumes low, you may consider keeping this value low. The current timesheet (time period) will always be included, this determines the number to include after the current time period. This field will only be available if you have a UnaTime license.

Use Foreign Currency - If this option is checked, several additional fields are available on the PDA device. If you do not incur expenses in international currencies, you may desire to uncheck this option -- resulting in less data being transmitted during a sync -- and less fields to navigate while entering expense reports. This field will only be available if you have a Una$ense license.
