Timecard Supervisor Timesheet Approval

Today we are glad to inform you that we have included a host of new enhancements to our Timecard Supervisor Application, which will enable Team Leaders to not only monitor their staff, but also approve Timesheets without the need to go to the Web Portal, all directly from the mobile app!

Let's go over each of them:

Review Employee Activity

Just by swiping from right to left on the screen, supervisors will be able to see the list of employees that have been assigned to them, as well as the last job, task, cost code or activity that was selected with Timecard GPS, along with the date and time for that specific entry.

Inspect Employee Location and Movement with Breadcrumb Trails

Starting from the Employee Task screen described previously, swipe again from right to left and you will be taken to the map screen, where you will see the employees' breadcrumb trails using Google Maps functionality.

Approve Timesheets:

Supervisors will now be able to perform an expedited timesheet approval right from the mobile app! This includes reviewing timesheets, approving and/or rejecting them and making edits if required. We will cover this specific functionality in a future step-by-step post.

The Timecard supervisor comes with all the features included in our Timecard GPS application plus the aforementioned Supervisor features, which means that a supervisor can collect punches, gather job pertaining data using Custom Fields and Forms while at the same time being able to monitor staff workers from the same application all through their mobile device.

Let us know in case you have any questions or comments.

Two New Forms Feature Improvements: Video Capture and Radio Button

We are excited to announce that we have been working on some improvements to the forms features given feedback from our existing customers. These enhancements include the ability to now record a 30-second Video inside the form and being able to see Radio Buttons for answers based on Yes/No questions.

Radio Buttons

Given more and more of our customers are using our solution for Covid-19 Self-Assessment Surveys, the radio buttons from the custom fields is a new “customer favorite” as this feature allows field workers to answer Yes/No questions quickly and in a more convenient way.

 

Here’s an example view from the Wellness Form: 

 

The first step to enable this feature is to go to the Basic section in the Administration tab and selecting "Preferences". Find the option called "Render Yes/No field as radio buttons" and tick the checkbox as follows:

Scroll to the bottom and click on "Save" to apply the changes. Next, in the same "Basic" section, go to "Manage Custom Fields/Forms". Here make sure to select the Field Type "Yes/No" when creating the new Custom Field and click on Add. The process here is the same as always, to learn more about it, we have an article dedicated to working with Forms:

 

 

30 Seconds Video

This feature gives the field user the capability to take a 30-second video inside a form to document customer visits or important things happening on the field.

 

 

To create a Video Custom Field, the steps are the exact same as described in the previous point, that is, going to the "Manage Custom Fields/Forms" section and adding a new field in a form. In this case, make sure to select the Field Type called "Video" and click on "Add" once you are ready:

 

That's it for now! We hope you take advantage of these incredible new features, be on the lookout for new things that will be coming up.
