Clock In from Crew App

Accessing Time Clock

  1. Open the Crew App

  2. Navigate to the Time tab from the bottom menu

  3. The Time Clock screen will display:

    • Attendance date

    • Shift timer

    • Punch In / Punch Out fields

    • Current activity status

If the user has not started their shift, the status will show “Not clocked in” and “No active shift.”


Starting a Shift (Clock In)

  1. Tap on the Clock In button

  2. A popup will appear with two options:

Clock in with Task

  • Starts the shift and allows the user to assign a task immediately

  • Recommended when the crew member knows what task they are working on

Clock in

  • Starts the shift without assigning a task

  • A task can be added later if required


Adding a Task

If Clock in with Task is selected:

  1. The user will be taken to the task screen

  2. Tap on Add Task

  3. Enter:

    • Task name

    • Notes (optional)

  4. Tap Save Task

Once saved:

  • The task becomes active

  • The shift starts and is linked to the task


Active Shift View

After clocking in, the screen will update to show:

  • Shift timer running

  • Punch In time

  • Current activity (task name if assigned)

  • Status such as “Working on task”


After Selecting “Clock in with Task”

Once the user selects “Clock in with Task”, they are taken to the task screen shown in the image.

On this screen:

  • The message “No Tasks Added” indicates that no task has been created yet for the shift

  • The user is prompted to add a task before proceeding

To continue:

  1. Click on the “Add Task” button

  2. Enter the required task details (task name and optional notes)

  3. Save the task to begin the shift with an active task

This step ensures that the shift is linked to a specific activity, allowing for better tracking and reporting of work performed during the shift.


Adding and Saving a Task

After clicking Add Task, the user will see the task creation screen shown above.

On this screen:

  • Task name
    Enter the name of the task you are working on (e.g., Loading, Packing, Driving)

  • Notes
    Add any additional details related to the task (optional)

To proceed:

  1. Fill in the required task details

  2. Click on Save Task

Once the task is saved:

  • The task becomes active

  • The shift continues with the selected task assigned

  • The system starts tracking time against this task for accurate reporting and timesheet records

This ensures all work performed during the shift is properly recorded and linked to specific activities.

The following actions are available:

Start Task

  • Allows the user to start a new task during the shift

Available Actions

Adding a New Task

To begin working on a different task:

This allows users to switch between multiple activities during a shift while maintaining accurate time tracking for each task.


Break

  • Time spent on break is tracked separately and excluded from total working hours​
