Limit the Number of Steps in the Field Management App

Users currently have to touch the screen 21 times when submitting their hours. The app should automatically know what employee it is and it should not require the sign off step.

    Mark,

    That would be a fantastic default!

    Hi Alexis,

    It's currently a setting that needs to be enabled per app/device. Is this something you would like defaulted on for all users?

    Thanks!

    Hi Mark,

    They only enter time for themselves. Do they have to select this in the Field Management app? Or is that someone we can set as a standard for all employees in the portal? Thank you!

    Hi Alexis,

    Do most of your app users have access to enter in time for other employees or only themselves? We have a preference in the app to auto-magically add the user that is logged in :)

    Go to Preferences > and enabled "Auto Add Myself to Timecard"

    If this is enabled, the logged in user should be selected on the employees screen automatically. If they only have access to enter in time for themselves, they will actually skip the employee selection step.

    Please let me know if this helps!

    Hi Mark,

    They are selecting job or overhead, choosing their job, choosing their phase,choosing themselves, entering their time, and then submitting. We did turn off the "signature" portion of the submitting process. I think all of the "continue" buttons and having to choose themselves just surprised us. We anticipated the app to be smart enough to move to the next screen. Thanks!

    Hi Alexis,

    Can you let me know the workflow that your users are following?

    I also wanted to let you know that the sign off step is option and can be turned off.

    Thanks!
