Overview

You can clock yourself and your crew members in as a crew leader on the Time Tracking screen by selecting Time from the bottom navigation bar. On this screen, you will see the clock-in status of crew members working on your route for the day.

Things to know

Field

Description

a. Crew leader

This is a separate section for you to clock in as the crew leader.

b. Crew members

A list of crew members that clock in for your current route that day, either by logging in from your device or selecting your route from their own device. Crew members assigned to your route do not show automatically, and crew members who previously clocked in do not stay in this list. They must clock in to your route or from your device each day.

c. Hours worked

The total hours worked since the last clock-in. An unchanged status of 0.00 hours remains if you have not logged any hours. This option is available offline.

d. Clock in

When you select Clock in, you start recording time worked for yourself or the listed crew members for your route.

  1. If you have not authorized location services, you will be prompted to permit them so your geolocation can be captured.

  2. The time at which you confirm Clock in is the start time that will show in Time Entry

  3. You can clock in crew members by selecting Clock In next to the crew member's name. This option will only be available when crew members are clocked out. 

  4. If a system administrator has enabled the Late Lunch Waiver setting in Time Reporting > Branch, Aspire Mobile displays a warning message when you attempt to clock in early. This message explains your branch's break policy. 

    1. Selecting Accept records your decision to waive your break, and that waiver is logged in Time Entry and audit records. 

    2. If you select Reject, your decision is appended to your time entry record, indicating that you did not waive your right to a break and that any penalties associated with an early clock-in will be processed accordingly.

e. Clock in all

Select this option to clock in all members. This option is available if you are offline. After making this selection, a new screen displays the list of crew members available to clock in. You can clear the checkbox for crew members you do not want to clock in from that list. Selected crew members are highlighted in blue with a checkmark next to their name.

f. Clock out

This option shows after a clock-in was successfully submitted 

Clocking in for subcontractors

Subcontractors who do not have contact records in Aspire can record their time using the Sub Crew Size in MTIME feature. You need the System Admin permission under your user role to configure this feature with the following steps:  

  1. Go to Main Menu > Contacts

  2. Select your crew leader contact record. 

  3. Select Prompt for Sub Crew Size in MTIME

  4. Select SaveForm fields for employee information with highlighted sections for saving and additional details.

  5. After you select this feature and log in to the app, complete the Clock in form. 

Refreshing the Time Tracking screen

You can pull in new data by refreshing the time tracking screen online. After you refresh, your device will pull new data in the background so you can leave the screen, if necessary. New, modified, and deleted time entries since your last sync will be pushed to your device once the refresh is completed.
