What is EVENTS?
EVENTS is a mobile app for tracking labor on production jobs. Workers start a timer on a task — like watering, planting, or harvesting — record how many people are working, and stop the timer when done. The time and labor units roll up to the production job for costing.EVENTS is a mobile-first app. Open it from the WorkSuite app launcher on a phone or tablet.
Key Concepts
- Task — a unit of work (an event type like “Watering” plus an optional production job and assignee). Tasks move through Not Started → In Progress → Completed.
- Timer — tracks elapsed time on a task. One timer runs at a time; a floating dock at the bottom of the screen shows the running timer wherever you are in the app.
- Headcount — how many people are working the task (1–99). Labor units are calculated as duration × headcount.
- Floating timer — a timer started without a task. When stopped, you choose a task to link the time to, save it for later, or discard it.
