Once the Project Manager has broken down the entire work schedule for the project and assigned the tasks as events to the Field users, they will see the tasks in their user account.

When the Field user opens an event, they can check off the checklist items, update the task status, update project item statuses, and add site images and comments.

The Dashboard lists the current week's tasks, and the "Schedule" tab lists all assigned tasks and service calls.

As a Field user, you will have the option to complete the project tasks in one of two ways:

1 - Use Project Time Tracking functionality

Here, you can "Clock In" to record when you start the task and "Clock Out" when the task is complete. Cloud will automatically calculate the time spent on the task and make this data available to the Project Manager and Admins in the Office user view.

To use built-in time tracking, click "Clock in to project" of the relevant project. In the modal, click "Clock in."

You will see a Blue banner at the top of the screen for as long as the clock is running.

When the task is complete, click "Clock out of project" to stop the clock.

If you take breaks during the task, you can start and stop the clock as often as you like.

2 - Add time spent manually

If you do not want to use built-in time tracking, you can manually log the project hours spent on each task. This data will be available to the Project Manager and Admins in the Office user view.

To add time manually:

1/ Go to the "Hours" tab and click "Add time entry" in the top-right corner.

2/ Select "Project."

3/ In the new modal, select the project.

4/ Add time spent, select the task, labor type, and other options.

Check out this article for more details.

5/ Click "Add" to add the time entry to the project.

If you cannot log the time spent on a task, approach the Admin or the Project Manager. They can add the time entry for the task from the Office user view.
