Admin access required
You must be logged in as an administrator to enable/disable time and materials tracking and manage materials types.
SortScape can also help you track employee time spent and materials used on a visit so that you know how much to invoice customers.
Time and materials tracking is enabled by default. To enable or disable time and materials tracking, go to the Time and Materials screen.
From the Time and Materials screen you can:
Enable or disable time and materials tracking for your SortScape site
Manage the catalog of materials that your employees can enter when listing materials used visits.
Edit other settings like whether to allow non-administrators to see material prices.
Permissions and privacy on material prices
The prices you charge customers for materials is information that you may not want to share with your employees. Therefore, the setting "Allow non-administrators to see material prices?" is disabled by default. You can enable this setting in the "advanced settings" section of the Time and Materials screen which will then make ALL material prices visible to users with the "employee" and "contractor" roles.
There may be variable expenses, like parking fees or miscellaneous expenses, that employees incur on the job. In those cases you may want non-administrators to be able to enter the price just just on particular items. In this case you can enable the "allow non-admins to view and edit price on visits?" setting on specific materials in the materials catalog as shown below.
