🎯 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
✅ Summary
Method | Works on CICO Project | Works on Other Projects |
% Allocation | ✅ Yes | 🚫 No |
Manual Hour Entry | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
