Multi-attribute time card fields let you bundle several attribute values (for example, payroll time type + physical location) into a single list value. Workers simply pick the combined value that reflects the part of the day they’re reporting, so one column records both attributes. This keeps the card compact, avoids extra daily-detail rows, and prevents mismatches between time type and location, thus ensuring accuracy as users move between nearby sites.

A. Requires a separate daily-detail row for every location segment, expanding the card and offering no control over valid time-type/location pairings.

C. Entry-level daily details create additional sub-grids inside each day, making the layout longer and still needing multiple rows for multiple locations.

D. Adding Location as its own matrix column forces duplicate rows whenever location changes, inflating card size and risking invalid combinations.
