After installing the app, job time mobile, you are basically ready to rock and roll because it does the setup out of the box.
After you install the Job Time Mobile app, most of the setup is already done. The app configures itself out of the box, so the main thing left for you to handle is resources. You need to make sure every Windows user who works with Job Time Mobile has a resource number attached, and that all employees who register time appear on the resource list in Business Central. Once your resources are set up correctly with a base unit of measure and the right journals, you can start registering time.
This article walks through what the app does automatically and the few setup steps you still need to complete yourself.
What Job Time Mobile sets up automatically
When you install Job Time Mobile, the app handles most of the configuration for you. If you open the Mobile Flow in Business Central, you can see that a lot of the setup has already been done automatically, and some of it relates specifically to Job Time Mobile. This means you do not have to build the configuration from scratch. You are essentially ready to start working as soon as the app is installed.
Setting up resources for time registration
The one thing you still need to set up is resources. Every Windows user who needs to work with Job Time Mobile must have a resource number attached. To check this, go to the Mobile Flow user setup and confirm that all the relevant users have a resource number.
In addition, every employee who needs to register time must be on the resource list in Business Central. If an employee is not on that list, they cannot register time.
Configuring journals on the resource setup
On the resource setup in Business Central, you configure the journals. These are filled out automatically, so in most cases you do not need to change anything. If you want to use specific journals instead, you can select them in the footer under the job section.
Completing the resource card in Business Central
Each resource also needs to be set up correctly on the standard resource card in Business Central. Make sure the base unit of measure, the times, and the other relevant details are filled in as the resource requires.
Starting time registration
Once your resources are configured, you are ready to register time. Open the Job Time Mobile flow page in Business Central, and you can start working right away.
