Use GPS Tracking to Add a Time Entry

You can also add a time entry using the GPS tracking of your mobile device.

To add a time entry with GPS tracking:

  1. Arrive at a job location with your mobile device.
    When entering the geofence, a notification is displayed on your lock screen containing your arrival time.
    Note: When you decide to enter a manual time entry instead of using the notification you received after entering a geofence, the geolocation information of that job is still attached to the time entry.
  2. Depart from a job location with your mobile device.
    When leaving the geofence, a notification is displayed on your lock screen containing your departure time and total hours in the job location. A prompt is also included in the notification asking if you want to create a time entry.
    Note: You can interact with the notifications at a later time to add entries. When you do, it will add the entry as if you interacted with the notifications when it happened.
  3. On your lock screen, open the notification.
  4. On the Add Time Entry screen, proceed with completing the information for your time entry as needed.
    If you have multiple jobs to your user profile, tap an option on the Please select the job you are working on: dialog box.
    Note: The Date field and Hours field are filled automatically. If your user profile is connected to a single job, the Job field is also filled automatically.
  5. Tap Create to display the time entry on the Time screen.
