Timesheet settings

Choose how your team records time on the mobile app, and which job lunch breaks go to.

Overview

Timesheet Settings decide how your team enters time. You can let them add time straight from the mobile timesheet screen instead of only through Start Work and Stop Work, ask for hours instead of start and end times, and ask for a note on each entry.
