--- CLIP 4: Time Tracking ---

============================================================

[00:09:07]

If you can see this Jake's crew is currently set up to be each employee

[00:09:15]

individually. I'm going to show you guys that first and then I will show you how it looks when the foreman does it for the

[00:09:21]

whole crew.

[00:09:24]

So first things first when we go to time tracking here as your foreman, this is what they're going to see at first.

[00:09:30]

They're going to see a clock in page.

[00:09:32]

Anything that's on their schedule for today and

[00:09:36]

additional tasks here. Now with that being said,

[00:09:40]

you can always update this based on what's scheduled. So if we come in here to some of my approved projects,

[00:09:47]

let's say this John Smith job and

[00:09:51]

this job ended up getting scheduled for today. Let's say so I drag out the days hit new job.

[00:09:59]

Select Jake's crew and save that.

[00:10:08]

You can see in Jake's crew this is now enabled here and now if we go back here

[00:10:16]

to time tracking and just refresh this page.

[00:10:21]

You'll see that this now shows up here. So that's how that's going to work.

[00:10:28]

It'll also show you any jobs that match your current location.

[00:10:32]

Okay, so that's also another option as well.

[00:10:37]

But essentially how it works is your employee is going to come in the morning hit clock in.

[00:10:42]

It's going to load the projects here scheduled for today.

[00:10:46]

Company shop tasks, upcoming projects, so they can see the jobs they have and they can just click on the job

[00:10:53]

to clock into that job.

[00:10:56]

All right, so it takes a second longer here on the computer on the mobile app. It's a tiny bit faster.

[00:11:02]

Essentially clocks them into this job. Now they're clocked in their time is tracking.

[00:11:07]

They have access to photos and files here where they can click all photos and files and from their phone

[00:11:13]

they can view this design folder and they can also upload any

[00:11:18]

take a photo or upload any photos as well.

[00:11:21]

All right, so that's gonna be the project photos and files side

[00:11:25]

right here. You also have project progress if you'd like to show them how much progress they've made on this job.

[00:11:32]

From

[00:11:34]

actual versus estimated you can. This will fill up the bar as time is being clocked into this job.

[00:11:42]

We also have visit notes. Your employees can use the voice to type

[00:11:47]

feature on their phones for this. Just write

[00:11:51]

talk out a voice note here of what was worked on today.

[00:11:55]

They could also attach any photos or files videos to this note and

[00:12:00]

you'll have a full history of all the notes that have been recorded.

[00:12:05]

In addition to that we also give crew notes and instructions that way your employees can see

[00:12:09]

what was on that estimate. What was the crew notes? What were the materials that we needed?

[00:12:15]

They don't see any cost here just quantities.

[00:12:18]

Okay, you can also show them estimated labor hours if you'd like

[00:12:23]

for how long you were projecting this to take.

[00:12:26]

So that's kind of what it looks like when you're clocked in inside of a project. If we go back here to home or we

[00:12:32]

click on this home in the bottom

[00:12:34]

you'll see that we're currently clocked into this job.

[00:12:37]

We can always go and switch jobs at any point. Clock in and it'll prompt us to switch the project.

[00:12:44]

In addition to that we can also always

[00:12:47]

go to company shop tasks.

[00:12:50]

So if your employees clock in at the shop in the morning

[00:12:53]

then they would probably clock into this at the beginning of the day and then once they leave for the job site

[00:12:57]

they would switch to the job.

[00:13:02]

In addition to that we also have

[00:13:05]

the ability to search for other projects.

[00:13:07]

So as you can see here at the bottom if I go to search for a project

[00:13:10]

then it'll give me access to the full list of projects here and I could search for the one that I need.

[00:13:17]

In addition to that we also have this start break button in the bottom. This will give you an option to start the break.

[00:13:24]

So if you click start break here, it's going to put them into break mode as you can see here now

[00:13:30]

we're tracking our break mode. We're not clocked in anymore.

[00:13:33]

When we're done with this we could end the break and we can choose to work on the same job or on a different job.

[00:13:42]

So that's kind of what the time tracking app is going to look like. A few different options for you guys there.

[00:13:48]

The other thing I'm going to show you guys is clocking out. At the end of the day when the employees ready to clock out

[00:13:54]

they can click right here and

[00:13:56]

confirm the clock out.

[00:14:00]

This

[00:14:03]

will clock the employee out of the job and also give an option to add any visit notes or photos.

[00:14:09]

This employee is now clocked out as you can see here.

[00:14:13]

So now that we've done that let's switch over to what it looks like for a foreman doing it.

[00:14:20]

So in our admin dashboard what we're going to do is click here to expand the left side, go to team,

[00:14:27]

go to crews.

[00:14:29]

We're going to switch this Jake's crew over to

[00:14:33]

where the foreman's clocking in the entire crew. That way you can see how that option works.

[00:14:40]

So as you can see I've switched it here, hit update crew.

[00:14:44]

And now if we come back here to time tracking and we just simply refresh this page

[00:14:50]

you

[00:14:55]

will see here that I am now in a foreman mode.

[00:15:00]

Okay, if I can go to team here that I can see the different team members that I have.

[00:15:05]

I'm going to go ahead and clock these three guys out.

[00:15:09]

And I'm just gonna

[00:15:12]

zero out this time here.

[00:15:14]

So

[00:15:19]

give me one moment here to save this clock out. All right now you can see everyone's clocked out.

[00:15:25]

Essentially how it'll work is when your employee, when your foreman comes here at the beginning of the day

[00:15:29]

they'll see the exact same thing. So they schedule a clock in, they'll hit clock in and

[00:15:35]

then they're going to choose the project here.

[00:15:38]

Like I said on the phone this is this is faster. It just takes a second longer on the computer.

[00:15:45]

And then they click on the job that they want and then they can confirm who they want to clock in.

[00:15:51]

So this is the difference. The foreman has this option where they can clock in their whole crew.

[00:15:56]

The other option skips this step. So maybe Matt showed up late. He's not here yet.

[00:16:01]

So I'm just going to clock in the rest of us.

[00:16:04]

So

[00:16:06]

as you can see we're all now all three clocked into this project. I have two new things.

[00:16:11]

I have a team section here where I can view and edit the team for this specific project. This is just on this project.

[00:16:19]

And I can also view the team down here in the bottom where I can see all of the projects and everything they've done today.

[00:16:28]

So let's say Matt shows up now. He's a couple minutes late. We now want to clock him in.

[00:16:33]

I now can clock in Matt either to the same project or to a different project.

[00:16:39]

So let's say he's working on the same project. Now all four of us are clocked in as you can see here.

[00:16:44]

But you can clearly see Matt has some less time than the rest of the crew.

[00:16:50]

If two of these guys need to leave halfway through you can select them and click switch and

[00:16:55]

you're able to switch them out to a different project. So that will give them access.

[00:17:01]

That'll clock them into that other project temp for that time.

[00:17:05]

So if I select this other test client here, you'll see these two guys are now switched to this job.

[00:17:11]

Where if we go back home

[00:17:13]

you'll see that it's now split two and two.

[00:17:16]

So two guys are on one job site. The other two guys are on the other job site as you can see here.

[00:17:23]

All right, so feel free to go to team to manage any of this stuff.

[00:17:27]

You can see these two are clocked into John Smith. These are clocked in the test client.

[00:17:32]

If you want to select everyone and put them on break you can do that.

[00:17:37]

If you want to switch them all to a different job switch them all to company shop tasks.

[00:17:42]

Clock them all in and out at once. Whatever you need to do you can do that here.

[00:17:47]

You can see that they're now all on break time. So some different options for you to manage all that.

[00:17:53]

Definitely is a powerful tool to track all the time and allow your foreman to do it as well.

[00:18:00]

Then that will kind of feed in here to the timesheets.
