The easiest way to register a job general line or a timesheet line with job flow, or job time mobile is on the register time.
Registering time on a job in Business Central can be done quickly from a mobile phone using Job Flow (also known as Job Time Mobile). You select the job, pick the job task, add a description and the number of hours, and the line is inserted directly into your job journal or timesheet. With the right user setup, this becomes a fast, one-action process. Keep in mind that using the job journal requires a full user license.
Registering job time with Job Flow on a mobile phone
The easiest way to register a job journal line or a timesheet line with Job Flow (Job Time Mobile) is through the Register Time action. You simply select Register Time and find the specific job you want to register time on.
From there, you select the job task number you want to register time against. For example, if the job is a cycling project, you pick the relevant task on that job.
Next, you give the line a description, such as a short note about what you worked on. This description is transferred to the job line. Then you enter the quantity, for example 3.5 hours.
Inserting lines without extra input
Once you have entered the description and quantity, the line is inserted without you needing to provide initials or any other details. You can then select the next job task on the same job and continue adding lines in the same way.
Where the lines end up depends on your setup. If you have set up a job journal, the registrations appear in the job journal. If you are set up with a timesheet, you will find them in the timesheet instead. Either way, you can see your registrations with hours, quantity and the other details.
Setting up a simple one-action workflow
The simplest way to use this is to give the user a setup with only that one action, the Register Time action. On a mobile phone, this makes time registration very easy and fast.
License requirements for the job journal
Be aware that if you use the job journal, this requires a full user license.
