Time entries showing incorrect durations
An auto-captured time entry in the Servinix Go app shows a duration that is longer or shorter than the actual time worked.Why this happens
- A break was started but not ended, leaving a job entry running through break time and inflating its duration.
- The shift was ended while a job was still active, causing the job entry to close at the same time as the shift.
- A job-start or job-end event was queued offline and replayed at the wrong time, shifting the recorded timestamps.
- The tech left a job screen without tapping the complete or pause action, so the auto-close fired at an unexpected time.
Try this first
- In the Servinix Go app, tap Time entries (from the job detail or the Me tab).
- Tap the incorrect entry to open the edit sheet.
- Adjust the Start and End times to reflect actual times worked. Both fields use 24-hour HH:MM format.
- If the entry was auto-captured, the app requires a Reason for edit before saving — add a short note such as “Forgot to clock out on arrival”.
- Tap Save changes. The duration recalculates automatically.
- If a break entry is missing entirely, tap Add entry, select type Break, enter the correct times, and save.
If that didn’t work
- Entry type cannot be changed on an existing entry. If the type is wrong, delete it and add a new one with the correct type and times.
- Shift and break entries are always non-billable. If a job was recorded as a shift, delete it and add a Job entry with the billable toggle on.
- If entries are consistently wrong, verify location and motion permissions are set to Always in device settings. The app relies on these to fire lifecycle events accurately. See
grant-location-and-motion-permissions. - Contact Servinix support if timestamps fall outside the actual shift window. Provide the job ID, device model, and incorrect entry timestamps.
