Mobile Time Tracking
In the "Work Time" tab of the mobile app, you can start, pause, and stop your work time. Depending on the property configuration, different check-in methods are available.
:::info In the App This feature is exclusively available in the mobile app. In the web portal, you manage work times through the Work Time page. :::
Features at a Glance
Timer View
After starting the time tracking, the app displays a live timer that counts the running work time in real time. You see:
- Running Work Time — Current duration since check-in
- Break Time — Total break time so far
- Status — Current state (Working, Paused)
The timer continues to run in the background when you leave the app or lock the device.
Check-in Methods
Depending on the property configuration, you can check in and check out using different methods:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Button Click | Manual check-in/check-out via a button in the app |
| QR Code (static) | Scan a printed QR code at the location |
| Kiosk (dynamic QR) | Scan the rotating QR code on a kiosk screen |
| NFC Tag | Contactless scanning of an NFC tag via smartphone |
| Background Scan | Automatic detection via Bluetooth/location in the background |
Methods that are not enabled are not offered in the app. The available methods are configured by the administrator per property.
:::tip Note The check-in and check-out methods can be configured separately. For example, check-in may require a QR code while check-out is allowed via button. :::
Start Work Time
Tap the Start button to begin your work time. Depending on the configured method:
- Time tracking starts directly (button click)
- A scanner opens for QR code or NFC tag
After a successful start, the app shows the live timer.
Pause & Resume
During an active work time, you can pause and resume:
- Pause — Pauses the work time tracking. Break time is counted separately.
- Resume — Resumes the work time tracking after a break.
Stop Work Time
Tap the Stop button to end your work time. The app shows a summary with work time, break time, and total time.
:::note Auto-Close Your administrator can configure work times to be automatically ended — either after a certain duration or at a fixed time. In this case, your work time will be closed by the system even if you do not tap the stop button. See Auto-Close for details. :::
Check-in Mode
If your property uses check-in mode instead of the standard work time view, you see a simplified interface:
- Only check-in and check-out buttons (no timer, no breaks)
- Active status with animation when checked in
- Optimized for pure attendance tracking without work time tracking
Double Login Detection
If you are already logged in at another property and try to check in again, the app shows a notification. You can choose to:
- End the existing work time and start at the new property
- Cancel the action
Restricted Time Windows
If the administrator has configured time windows during which check-in is not possible, the app shows a corresponding message. You can only check in again once the time window has expired.
Location Recording
With every check-in, check-out, and break, your GPS location is automatically recorded. Depending on the configuration, the system checks whether you are on-site (ONSITE) or off-site (OFFSITE).
Exceptions with Reason
If the administrator has allowed exceptions, you can also check in using a method that is not enabled. In this case, you must provide a reason, which is saved in the log.
Offline Capability
Time tracking also works without an internet connection:
- Work times are stored locally in the app
- When the connection is restored, data is automatically synchronized
- The timer continues to run offline
Permissions
:::info Permission To use time tracking, you need the View time tracking permission. To start and stop, you need the Create time tracking permission. Contact your administrator if you do not have access. :::
