Starting a Timer on a Task

  1. Open the task from the Tasks list (search by task name, job number, or job name; filter by event type or — for managers — assignee)
  2. Verify the job if prompted: scan the job barcode or enter it manually, then tap Verify. You can also tap Skip verification.
  3. Set the Headcount (1–99) — the number of people working the task
  4. Tap Start
While a timer runs, it appears in three places: a floating dock at the bottom of the screen, a banner on the Tasks list, and a pulsing dot on the task’s card.
Only one timer runs at a time. If another timer is already running, the task screen offers Stop & Start Here to switch.

Job Mismatch

If the barcode you scan doesn’t match the task’s assigned job, EVENTS asks whether to reassign: “Scanned job X doesn’t match assigned job Y. Assign this task to X instead?” — choose Yes to switch the task to the scanned job, or No to cancel.

Stopping a Timer

Tap Stop on the task (or the floating dock). For floating timers — timers started without a task — a dialog asks what to do with the time entry:
  • Link Now — pick a task and attach the time to it
  • Save for Later — keep it as an unlinked entry to deal with later
  • Discard — throw the entry away

Unlinked Time Entries

Unlinked entries collect in a collapsible Unlinked timers section at the top of the Tasks list. For each entry you can Link it to a task or Discard it. Unlinked entries are kept on the device and sync when you’re online.

Creating a Task

Use Add → Create Task from the bottom navigation (or + New Task from a job’s screen):
  • Event Type (required) — e.g. Watering, Planting
  • Job (optional) — pre-filled when creating from a job
  • Assigned To (optional)
Choose Create to save, or Create & Open to jump straight to the new task.

Notes

Each task has a Notes section — tap Add Note to record context (conditions, issues, instructions). Notes show who wrote them and when.
