# System Settings: System Tables - Time Entry

The *System Tables* category on the System Settings screen allows you to configure various data points that can be selected using dropdown menus throughout your database. The *Time Entry* tab specifically controls the values available in time entry dropdowns throughout the system, including the Time Entry **Reason**.
