A method may include generating a first user interface for providing, to a client, a first selection of inputs for attributes of a rule scenario for defining a rule. The rule may be applied to modify a data processing functionality of the application. Parameters of the rule may be determined based on the rule scenario and a first input from the first selection of inputs being selected via the first user interface. The parameters of the rule may correspond to data objects affected by the application of the rule. A second user interface for providing, to the client, a second selection of inputs for defining a condition of the rule may be generated. The condition of the rule may evaluate the parameters of the rule. The rule may be generated based on a second input from the second selection of inputs being selected via the second user interface.

Provided are devices and methods for retroactively changing time sheets. In one example, the method includes detecting a change to an attribute associated with a time sheet stored in a database, splitting the time sheet into a first portion of time before the attribute changed and a second portion of time after the attribute changed, retroactively applying the change of the attribute to the second portion of time and preserving the attribute for the first portion of time to generate modified time sheet data, and updating the time sheet stored in the database based on the modified time sheet data to implement the retroactively applied change. Accordingly, the system described herein may automatically identify and process retroactive changes to a time sheet that has already been submitted and stored in a database.
