Activities

When an employee clocks into a Job, they can they can specify an activity within. This activity will now be available to log time against, and can be switched throughout the day as their work day and tasks progress.

This setting can be enabled in the global account settings under 'Clock Entry Settings'. When enabled, the employee will clock into a Job and then be prompted to select an Activity within that job. Administrators, managers and the employee will be able to see what activity they are currently clocked into and the timesheet will update accordingly.

The purpose of this feature is to provide visibility on how much time is being spent on specific activities within jobs.





In the Job Breakdown Report, within 'Activity Summary', time can be tracked on a more granular level, providing insight into how much time is being spent on an activity within a job by members of staff.



Similarly, in the Employee Timesheet Report, you will be able to see how much time a particular employee has spent on an Activity.

In the Basic Details section, scroll down and click on 'Restrict Activities available on this job'.
