Time capture: hours, from-to or timer

In short

Time is recorded in the menu Time recordingEnter and save the date, assignment, activity, and time. You can add machines, vehicles, materials, and other items in the same entry below using «+». Whether someone uses hours, start and end times, or a timer, you can set it for each employee.

Here’s how it works

  1. Open time trackingMenu Time recording, «Rider» ‘Time recording’.
  2. Fill in the informationDate, assignment, employees (multiple if applicable), and comment. Under «Time of use,» enter the time from/to or the number of hours, as well as the activity.
  3. Additional positions are being addedBelow in the form under «+»: Employees, products, plants, vehicles, machinery, materials, external costs, or the amount of work performed. Which areas appear depends on the basic settings.
  4. SaveAfter «Save», ForstControl displays the «Overview of the time entries» with the calculated hours. Again, «Save» there.
Tip: Change the recording method per person: Settings → Employees → Name → Settings. «Time recording method» = time recording or time recording timer, «time recording recording method» = duration in hours or time from-to.

Common problems

This is an individual setting per person; it is not an error. See the tip above: «Time recording type» and «Time recording method».

These areas can be found under Settings → Basic settings → Time recording You can also restrict the order in the «Details» tab by selecting which items and activities are available.

For this, the «Time recording others create» permission is required. More information: Authorizations issued.

Under Time overview → My week, Divided by days. Open the day and name, then you can edit each entry with the pen or delete it with the trash can. With «Confirm Week», you can end the week.
