Check In
When you check in, you are starting your time from the present moment. Checking in will also document your location at the time of start.
To Check In,
Navigate from Home > +Add > Time > Check In
Select the Project
Enter Time Type and any other Check In information. Then click Start to begin recording your time entry.
Multiple Check In
Multiple Check In is useful for creating multiple time entries when working across multiple projects and for Users with Timecards permissions.
Navigate from Home > + Add > Time and then select the Multiple Check In/Out option.
Select the Project
Then select your Users and fill out the details of your Time Entries.
Hit Start to begin recording the users' time.
Manual Time Entry
An employee can enter their time manually instead of the standard Check In method. When entering time manually, time can only be submitted for past or current dates/times and cannot be added for the future. Also, the manual time entry will not include the user's geofence location.
To create Manual Time Entries
Navigate from Home > + Add > Time and select the Manual Time Entry option
Select the Project
Enter the details of the Time Entry, such as Time Type, Custom Fields, etc.
Enter your Start Time/End Time
Hit Save to save your Time Entry
Multiple Manual Time Entries
For those users with Create permissions in Timecards, multiple Time Entries can be created for multiple users. This is useful when one person is assigned to managing Time.
To create Multiple Time Entries,
Navigate from Home > + Add > Time and then select Multiple Manual Entries
Select the Project
Select the users form whom you wish to enter time
Click "Add Time"
At this point, you can enter individual times for each user by clicking on the "+" icon below each name, or you can choose "Add for All" to enter the same time for all users
Enter details for your time entries, including start/end times

Admins can see if a worker manually entered their time with the status icons in the table of time entries.
Checking Out
Standard Check Out is simple, you can either navigate to your time entry with Add > Time or an easier way is to click on the banner displaying your time at the bottom of the page.
This will bring you to the check-out page. You'll see your total time count in the centre of the screen.
You will see several "Check-out" options when checking out. Using a "Switch" option will stop your current entry and start a new entry with a different Project, Cost Code, or Work.
Click Stop to complete your Time Entry.
Splitting your time is allocating your time to the appropriate Project, Cost Code, Work type or Equipment. This is important if you are working in more than one location, or doing multiple activities.
