Enabling this capability requires setting the "Allow Crew Member Mobile Clock-In without Crew Leader" parameters on the *Time Reporting* tab of the *Application Configuration* screen and on the appropriate *Branch* screens. The parameter is only available on the *Branch* screen if it is disabled on the *Application Configuration* screen. When this feature is enabled, crew members can be provided with their own mobile device for clocking in. The crew leader is initially required to log in on the device and then log out to approve the device. Thereafter, the crew member can use their PIN to log in. Then they can clock in. When they clock in, they will be prompted to select the crew leader and route they are working on. The list only includes crew leaders and route that match the crew member's branch or all crew leaders and routes if the crew member has not been assigned a branch. After a crew member clocks in on their own device, the crew leader they selected will be able to view them on the *Crew*screen of the crew leader's device or select the crew member to start time on work tickets. ## Audit Logging Audit logging has been added for most system objects which captures the state of each record whenever it is changed. The *Audit* search list report is available on the *Report* screen for users assigned to a role having the *View Audit Report*permission. The report shows incremental changes for any selected object.

Work Ticket 21. Work Ticket Time 22. Work Ticket Visit ## Route Optimization Aspire has added automated route optimization allowing users who have the *Route Optimization* permission to select an option that orders job site visits for a day/route in the most efficient order possible to minimize drive time. The *Route Optimization* permission is only available if route optimization has been enabled for the Aspire system. On the *Schedule Board* in *Week* view, if you right clicks on a day/route cell or a visit tile within a cell, Aspire provides a *Optimize Route* option in the pop-up menu. This option is also available by clicking on a tile , and then displaying the visit menu. Selecting this option reorders the visits for that day/route for most efficient navigation of route during the crew's day. On the *Schedule Board* in *Week* view, you can optimize all visits within each route for a given day by right clicking in the day header and selecting the *Optimize Route* option from the pop-up menu. On the *Schedule Board* in *Week* view, you can optimize all visits for each day for a given route by right clicking in the *Route Name* and selecting the *Optimize Route* option from the pop-up menu. On the *Schedule Board* in *Week* view, you can optimize all visits for each day and route by selecting the *Optimize Route* option from *Schedule Board* main menu. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/image-1639073773839.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-15T01%3A47%3A22Z&se=2026-11-15T02%3A47%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3gvRMMlQjlD3%2FnUFG5uCxleLSWRWkFVKOKiQzY6vnS4%3D)When a day/route has been optimized on the *Schedule Board*, a visual indicator (right) shows that the cell has been optimized. Thereafter, if any user reorders the visits in any way, the indicator is removed until that cell is re-optimized. Route optimization is enabled for all clients. ## Admin - Rename "Use California Time Prompts" setting On the *Application Configuration* screen in *Admin* the label "Use California Time Prompts" is changed to "Use Time Prompts." ## [Time Review Attestation](https://care.youraspire.com/en/articles/5814464-crew-mobile-time-review-and-attestation) If enabled on the *Time Reporting* tab of the *Branch* screen, *Time Review Attestation* provides an additional prompt for crew members in the *Crew Mobile* app to specify whether they are clocking out for lunch or at the end of the day. If it is the end of the day, another prompt allows them to view their time entries for the day and to attest to a specified statement regarding their clock-time. The system administrator can specify the statement to which all crew members will attest on the *Time Reporting* tab of the *Branch* screen. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/image-1639143672263.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-15T01%3A47%3A22Z&se=2026-11-15T02%3A47%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3gvRMMlQjlD3%2FnUFG5uCxleLSWRWkFVKOKiQzY6vnS4%3D)When the crew member is attesting to the attestation statement, they have the option of disagreeing. If you disagrees, then crew member is presented with the *Edit Time* screen (right) allowing them to modify the clock time. The clock time record is flagged so that the clock time entry is highlighted on the *Time Entry* screen (as shown below). This will allow office personnel to address any disputed time on behalf of the crew member. Note that these prompts are in addition to *California Time Prompts* that were previously available in Aspire, and still are. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/5942a8d7-f3b1-4919-bdfa-d477d8498fe3/Images/Documentation/image-1639150281618.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-15T01%3A47%3A22Z&se=2026-11-15T02%3A47%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3gvRMMlQjlD3%2FnUFG5uCxleLSWRWkFVKOKiQzY6vnS4%3D) ## Show Route on Map On the *Schedule Board*, if you right clicks on a day/route cell or a visit tile within a cell, Aspire provides a *Show Route on Map* option in the pop-up menu. This option is also available by clicking on a tile , and then displaying the visit menu. Selecting this option displays *Google Maps*in a new browser tab showing the route for visiting the properties in their specified order. ## Change *Show on Map* to *Show Property on Map* When right clicking on a visit tile on the *Schedule Board*, the *Show on Map* option has been replaced by the *Show Property on Map* option. The new option displays Google Maps in a new browser tab showing the location of the property. ## *Added *Opportunity Budget* field to the *Contract* *Renewal Report Search List** *Opportunity Budget* field has been added as a column in the *Contract* *Renewal Report* *Search List* *for filter, display, sort and group*.
