Work Order Clock-in Management


This section describes how to record engineers’ on-site service activities, including clock-in/clock-out logs and working hours during fieldwork.

Access Path: Service Connector > System Settings > Work Order Clock-in

1. Clock-in Scenarios

  • Stores predefined clock-in scenario classifications and working hour calculation types for engineers. Follow the product manual to create new scenarios; custom fields are not recommended.
  • Click New under “Clock-in Scenarios” to create a Work Order clock-in scenario. Name scenarios based on working hour categories (e.g., Work, Business Trip, Awaiting Materials). Engineers can bind different scenarios to specific processes during on-site operations.

2. Work Order Clock-in Distance Validation

Purpose: Validates the distance between an engineer’s clock-in location and the Work Order service address to prevent fraudulent check-ins and ensure on-site presence.

  • By default, the system validates against the “Service Address” field in the Work Order object. Adjust this setting at: Service Connector > System Settings > Fieldwork > Work Order Clock-in.

  • Enable distance validation for specific clock-in scenarios by editing the scenario and setting an allowable deviation range (maximum distance between clock-in and service addresses).
  • Optionally allow clock-in/clock-out outside the deviation range.

  • The system automatically validates locations during clock-in.

  • Exceptions and deviation distances are logged in the Work Order Clock-in Logs object if validation is enabled but overridden.

3. Overlapping Clock-in Validation

Purpose: Ensures engineers cannot clock in for multiple Work Orders simultaneously or have overlapping clock-in records.

  • When enabled, engineers cannot start a new clock-in until the previous one is completed.
  • Validation Period: Set the maximum lookback period (e.g., 3 days) to prevent forgotten clock-outs during holidays.

4. Location Capture Restrictions

Use Case: Track engineers’ working time without recording locations when unnecessary.

  • Location Capture: Engineers within the applicable scope must provide precise location data for clock-in. Others can clock in without location.
  • Scope: Apply to specific engineers or Depts.
  • Allow clock-in without location data if network/system errors occur (logs will lack address data).

5. Location Adjustment Range

  • Engineers can manually adjust inaccurate system-captured locations within a predefined range.
  • Adjustment Range: Defines the maximum allowable deviation for manual adjustments.

6. International Maps

Note: Google Maps is used for international location services, requiring a separate license.

  • Enable for engineers abroad to use Google Maps for clock-in.
  • Scope: Restrict license usage to specific international engineers.

7. Photo Clock-in and Watermarks

  • Watermark Settings: Apply watermarks (e.g., user name, timestamp) to check-in (checkin_images) and check-out (checkout_images) photos in the Work Order Clock-in Logs object.
  • Scope: Defaults to company-wide. Ensure subordinate Depts. are included when customizing.

8. Clock-in Record Adjustments

Use Case: Engineers may need to modify clock-in records post-service.

picture coming soon:

8.1 Adjustments

  • Enable/disable adjustments per standard workflow.
  • Adjustment Window: Set a time limit (e.g., 3 days) for modifying records.
  • Adjustable Fields: Time and/or address.

picture coming soon:

8.2 Time Adjustment Range

  • Check-in Time Range: Restrict adjustments to ±1 hour of the original time (e.g., 8:00–10:00 for a 9:00 check-in).
  • Check-out Time Range: Similarly limit adjustments (e.g., 17:00–19:00 for an 18:00 check-out).

  • For completed Work Orders, adjust records via the Work Order Clock-in Logs object in mobile or the Work Order detail page.

9. Retroactive Clock-in

### 9.1 Retroactive Check-out
Use Case: Engineers forget to check out after a service day.

  • Enable multiple clock-ins per workflow to allow interim check-outs.
  • Missing Check-out: Unchecked records are marked as “Missing” at 23:59 and can be retroactively completed.
  • Retroactive Window: Set a time limit (e.g., 3 days) for submissions.
  • Adjustable Fields: Time and/or address.

  • Submit retroactive check-outs via the Work Order Clock-in Logs object.

9.2 Full-Day Retroactive Clock-in

Use Case: Engineers forget to clock in for an entire service day.

  1. Required Fields:

  2. Permission Assignment: Grant submission rights to Roles like Service Connector Admins or Dispatchers.

  3. Submit via the Work Order Clock-in Logs object in Web or mobile.

  4. Auto-Filled Fields:

    • Check-in time/address = Retroactive check-in time/address
    • Check-out time/address = Retroactive check-out time/address
    • Type = Full-Day Retroactive

10. Sync Work Order Clock-in to Fieldwork

Purpose: Combine Work Order clock-in data with non-Work Order fieldwork records for unified analysis.

  • Enable real-time syncing to standard fieldwork.

Note: If Advanced Fieldwork is enabled, ensure all engineers’ rules include the “Fieldwork Check-in” type.
