Work Logs (Concept)

For each craftsperson who works on a job, both mobile users (OnSite and the Maintenance mobile app) and users of the Maintenance Console, can record the details of the work the craftsperson did on a job -- its time frames, work types, various hourly rates. The system records these details in work logs.

For example, a craftsperson might work on the job over a period of days and record the time spent on the job each day. For each period worked on the job, they can specify the hourly rate and the type of work performed. Likewise, supervisors can enter this information for craftspersons who might not record it themselves.

The 's timer feature makes it easy to record the exact time spent on a job. Each time the user stops the timer, a new work log is created.

If not using mobile, you can record work in work logs using the Maintenance Console.

Work logs are stored in the Work Request Labor Assignments table (WRCF table).

Viewing Work Logs

Maintenance Console

From the Maintenance Console, you can view work log totals in the Work Request form's Overview / Work Logs panel. The form lists all craftspersons who have logged hours on the job, both those created from mobile as well as those entered from the Maintenance Console. For each craftsperson, their work hours are totaled.

Maintenance mobile app

In the Maintenance mobile app, you can view the list of work logs for a job by selecting the Hours button on the Work Request screen. Doing so presents the Hours screen (below), listing all the work logs for the job. Tapping a work log presents the details of the work log, which you can edit if necessary.

Entering Work Logs

Maintenance mobile app

Each time you start the timer in the Maintenance mobile app, the system creates a work log. For example, if you start the timer, work on a job for 20 minutes and stop the timer; one work log will be created. When you resume the job, a second work log is created.

When you sync, you can view the work logs in the Maintenance Console, as shown above.

Maintenance Console

From the Maintenance Console, you can review and edit the work logs generated in the mobile app, as well as enter new work logs.

To enter a work log:

  1. From the Maintenance Console, select a work request.
  2. In the Overview tab of the Work Request form, expand the Work Logs section. Click Add to access the Log Work form
  3. Complete the resulting form with the details of the job. For information on completing the Log Work form, see Update Work Requests with Details from the Job.
