✅ Step-by-Step: Helpful Time Tracking Settings in SynkedUP Mobile App
🔹 1. Open the Settings Menu
Tap the ☰ menu icon in the upper left corner of the app.
Scroll down and tap “Settings.”
Scroll all the way to the bottom to access time tracking options.
🔹 2. Manage Time Gaps Between Jobs
This setting controls how time is handled between jobs:
Option 1: “Automatically start next job when previous ends”
Automatically removes gaps.
Useful if your team moves quickly from one job to the next.
Ensures continuous billable time.
Option 2: “Leave gaps between jobs”
Keeps any time between jobs as unbillable.
Best if your crew often has breaks or travel time that shouldn’t be billed.
Gaps can be adjusted later if needed.
💡 Tip: If your schedule is unpredictable, use “Leave gaps” and edit as needed during time review.
🔹 3. Set a Default Unbillable Category
Choose the default category for unbillable time (e.g., Shop Time, Drive Time, or Office).
This will be applied automatically anytime you start unbillable time.
You can change the category manually anytime while clocked in.
💡 Tip: Set this if you’re usually in the same unbillable category to save taps each day.
🔹 4. Enable Clock-Out Reminders
Toggle on “Clock-Out Reminder”.
Set a time (e.g., 6:00 PM) when you typically finish your day.
If you're still clocked in at that time, SynkedUP will send a reminder to clock out.
💡 Tip: Set the reminder about 30 minutes after your usual end time, so you get notified only if you forget. For managers, default settings can also be standardized company-wide to streamline operations and ensure consistent use of reminders across teams.
🧠 Why These Settings Matter:
Prevents accidental time loss or inflation.
Keeps your job costing data accurate.
Reduces daily admin time for crew leads and managers.
