About This Video
This app is designed to guide you through your workday. Depending on the way your company uses the system, there are different methods to clock in and out to make sure everyone is covered. This video will show the steps for each possibility.
Using the Home Screen
It's really very easy to use
The home screen will show your work for the day
It lists any schedules that are assigned to you
If you're not assigned, it will be empty
Clocking In With a Schedule
Select the job that you wish to work to begin the clock-in process
Click the clock-in button
Confirm that you're starting work
Note: If the clock-in button is disabled, this means that your company requires GPS to be fully on and the settings on your phone must be corrected. Press turn on and the system will guide you to update the settings.
Clocking In Without a Schedule
Simply click "I need to clock in"
The system will look for jobs in your area based on your GPS location
If the job you need to work is listed, press select to start the clock-in process
If there are no jobs in your area:
Press "I still don't see my job"
Follow the steps to clock into an unknown job
Your manager will resolve the time card to correct the job
Using TimeTiles™
If your company uses TimeTiles™:
A panel will be visible on the job details screen
Click on the panel to see any notes about the location of the tiles at the job site
Make sure to know where the tiles are located at the job site
Clock in when you're ready to start work
"Ready to scan" will slide up from the bottom of your phone
Hover your phone over the tile with the back of the phone facing the tile until you get a confirmation of clock-in
While Clocked In
When you're on the clock:
A green header is visible at the top of every screen to remind you that you're clocked in
Click on the green pill to:
Get back to the job detail screen
Start a break
Clock out
Menu Navigation
The four menu buttons across the bottom of the screen are very simple:
Time Screen
Shows your time cards and future schedules by work week
You can scroll backwards to see your history of time cards
Scroll forward to see any schedules if available
Messages Screen
Access all channels of your teams and job boards
Send a private message to any admin or management in the company

Messages are translated and visible to the recipient based on the communication setting in their personal profile
More Menu

Tips for Using the App
On the home screen in the calendar section:
Use your thumb to slide back and forward by week
Any right arrow indicates another screen is available with more details
Left arrows will always get you back home
On the job details screen:
The map icon in the top right corner will open the job's location in the map on your phone
This is helpful if you're at a job site and you need directions to the next job
The green buttons and pills will always guide you back to the job detail screen where you can either clock in or out or start a break
