Log time entries

View, add, and edit time entries that capture how your working day was spent — including shift time, travel, job work, breaks, and admin time.

Before you start

  • Time entries are created automatically when you start your shift, begin travel, start work, take a break, or finish a job. You do not need to log these manually unless you need to correct an error.
  • To view or add entries, navigate to the Time entries screen. From the home screen, tap the Log time quick action, or go to the Time Entries feature in the app.

How automatic time tracking works

The app creates time entries automatically at each lifecycle event:
EventEntry type created
Shift startedShift
Travel startedTravel
Work started (Start work)Job
Break startedBreak
Break endedCloses the Break entry
Job finished (Finish work)Closes the Job entry
Shift endedCloses the Shift entry
Automatically created entries show the time range they cover. Entries that are still running show in progress next to the start time.

Add a manual time entry

Use this when you forgot to clock an action or need to log admin time.
  1. On the Time entries screen, tap Add entry.
  2. The Add time entry screen opens.
  3. Under Type, select the entry type: Shift, Job, Travel, Break, or Admin.
  4. Under Time, enter the start time and end time in HH:MM (24-hour) format.
  5. If the type is Job, enter the Job label and Customer name.
  6. Under Billable, toggle on if this time should be charged to the customer. Shift and Break entries are always non-billable and the toggle is disabled for those types.
  7. Add any Notes for payroll or billing context.
  8. Tap Add entry to save.

Edit an existing time entry

  1. On the Time entries screen, tap the entry you want to edit.
  2. The Edit time entry screen opens with the current values.
  3. Update the start time, end time, or notes as needed.
  4. If the entry was created automatically (auto-captured), a Reason for edit field appears and is required. Enter a short explanation (for example, Forgot to clock out on arrival).
  5. Tap Save changes.

Delete a time entry

  1. Open the entry on the Edit time entry screen.
  2. Tap Delete entry.
  3. Confirm the deletion. Deleted entries cannot be recovered — you can re-add them manually.

Result / verify

The Time entries screen groups entries by day and shows a total duration and billable duration for each day (for example, 6h · 4h 30m billable). Check that the totals match your expected working time.

Troubleshooting

An auto-captured entry has the wrong end time: Open the entry and edit the end time. Enter a reason for the edit when prompted. Time entries are missing: Time entries are stored on your device and sync to the server when connectivity is available. If entries are missing after an app restart, see Offline sync stuck or not completing or Time entries showing incorrect durations.
