Mobile App Timekeeping Interface

The Mobile App records two kinds of time: Work and Travel. A timekeeping record can be linked to a transaction, a production task, a project task or a sales ticket, or it can be unlinked. You can have one timekeeping record running at a time.

Navigation Example

https://app.quickeasy.software/ > Transactions, Production Tasks, or a project or sales tile

Note

Before you can start or edit a timekeeping record, the Timekeeping module must have a status with the default Start and one with the default Stop (see Timekeeping Status Tutorials). Otherwise, an error message says that no default Timekeeping status is configured.

Timekeeping Lists

The Transactions and Production Tasks tiles, and the tile for each Service Type with projects or sales, open a list of the items you can record time against.

Item Description
Start: (Unlinked)

A bar at the top of the list with Travel and Work buttons, which start an unlinked timekeeping record.

While a record is running, the bar shows Started with the start time and the time so far, and Edit and Stop buttons.

The bar appears when no record is running, when the running record is unlinked, or when it is linked to an item on this list.
