Enter Job Time (Field Tickets) in Mobile View

Enter time, equipment usage, production and start-stop time for jobs and phases using the mobile view on the Field Management Mobile app.

If you want to use tablet grid entry for jobs, see Enter Job Time (Field Tickets) in Tablet View.

By default, job time submitted on the mobile app automatically creates a field ticket in the web portal. If you submit time for multiple days, the portal creates a separate field ticket per day and job (time submitted for multiple days is not combined into a single timecard template). However, you can configure your portal to route labor to grid timecards instead of field tickets. See Configure Field Management Mobile in the Portal for details.
