What does “Clocking In” mean?
Clocking in tracks the time you spend working on a specific project. Once you clock in, your work time is recorded until you clock out or take a break.
How to Clock In
When you first open the Clock tab and are not clocked in, you will see the Clock In screen.
You must complete the following steps:
- Select a Project
- Tap the Project field.
- Search for and select the project you are working on.
- This ensures your time is tied to the correct job.
- Select a Billing Type (Required)
- This step is mandatory.
- Choose the type of hours you are working, such as:
- Regular Time
- After Hours
- Emergency Time (if applicable)
- Selecting the correct billing type ensures accurate payroll, billing, and reporting.
- Add Timesheet Notes (Optional but Recommended)
- Use this field to briefly describe what you are working on.
- Example:
- “Initial inspection”
- “Equipment setup”
- “Monitoring drying progress”
- These notes help supervisors and office staff understand what was done during that time.
- Tap Clock In
- Once you clock in, time tracking begins immediately.
You will see a confirmation message letting you know you have clocked in successfully.
