Time Tracking: Clock-In and Clock-Out Method

One method of recording work hours adopts the classic clock-in and clock-out approach. Entries can be initiated via a browser or mobile device. Each time entry mandates the selection of a work time category, and depending on the modules enabled, a location, project and task can also be assigned. An option to add comments to the entry is available. Admin users have the capability to create new entry categories from the company settings.
