📱 Using % Allocation on Mobile with CICO Time

This article explains how % allocation works ONLY on mobile when CICO is used. Desktop workflows behave differently.

Written by Support from Rhumbix

🎯 Overview

When workers clock in using the mobile Kiosk (CICO), all of their time is assigned to the project they clocked into. Rhumbix treats that time as a project bucket, and all % allocations must stay inside that bucket.

If you add cost codes from another project, you can still assign time to them — but not using % allocation. You will need to type the hours manually for those.


🔨 How Percentage Allocation Works on Mobile

Action

What Happens

Worker clocks in on Project A

✅ All time goes into Project A's bucket

Foreman adds cost codes from Project A

✅ Can use % OR manually type hours

Foreman adds cost codes from Project B

⚠ % will NOT apply because there is no CICO time in Project B

Foreman wants time on Project B

✅ Must enter hours manually — % does not move time to another project

🚧 Key Rule to Communicate to Crews

If you clock in on Project A, you only have time in Project A’s bucket.
So all % splits must stay on Project A

there’s no time in Project B to apply a percentage to.

To give time to Project B, type the hours in manually.

You do not have to use percentage on the CICO project — entering hours is always allowed.


👷 Mobile Example

Your worker clocked in on the Kiosk and Rhumbix recorded 8 hours on Project A.

You open the Rhumbix app to create the timecard and add:

  • Cost Code 1 (Project A)

  • Cost Code 2 (Project A)

  • Cost Code 3 (Project B)

What You Want To Do

What Works

Split time on Project A

✅ % or manual entry both work

Give some time to Project B

Manual hours only — % won’t apply

Try % allocation on Project B

🚫 Nothing happens — no time exists in that project bucket


💡 Best Practice Recommendation

Scenario

Best Action

All work was on one project with one CICO

✅ Use % OR manual — both are fine

Work was split between two projects

🚧 Consider separate CICO clock-ins OR use manual hour entry for the second project

Crew wants quick split between codes on one CICO project

👍 % is a fast option

Crew needs precise control

✍ Manual entry gives full control — even on the CICO project


Common Misunderstanding to Avoid

“I put 50% on Project B, but it didn’t move any time.”

✅ That’s expected — you didn’t clock in on Project B, so Rhumbix has no time there to split.


👉 Solution: Enter the time manually or clock in on that project separately.


🧠 Quick Reminder for Foremen to Share with Crews

% = Split time where you clocked in


Manual hours = Move time anywhere you need
