- For Budget line, pick the line item you are working on.
- Tap Clock in. The card now shows the job and a running timer.
Clock out
- Done for the day? Open the Clock In card on your dashboard.

Clock in with No project
Supply run, shop time, an estimate walk or a job that isn't set up yet? Use No project so the time still counts.
- On the Clock In card, tap No project.
- Type what you are doing, for example "Supply run".
- Tap Clock in. Clock out the same way when you finish. These hours still count toward your pay.
Which option to pick
| Option | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Budget line | Normal work on the job. Hours roll into that line's labor cost on project costing. |
| Punchlist | Fix-up and warranty work on the job. Logged to the job, never shown to the client. |
| No project | Errands, shop time, or work on a job that isn't in SiteView yet. |
Quick answers
Does clocking in track my location?
No. The time clock records the job, the line item and your start and end times. It does not track where you are.
What if I forget to clock out?
Fix it yourself on My Hours. The change is marked Edited and your original times are kept for the office.
