About the Time Tracker

All about the Time Tracker function in Texada Web and Texada Mobile.

Quick Reference

  • The Time Tracker is a feature of Texada Web and Texada Mobile that functions as a digital punch clock for your employees, allowing your counter operators, Drivers, and Mechanics to track their time spent working.
  • In both Texada Web and Texada Mobile, you can clock in and out of the Time Tracker via the User Menu.
  • Time Tracker entries can be reviewed, edited, created, and exported from the Time Tracker page in Texada Web.
  • In addition to the regular Time Tracker, Texada Mobile offers Mechanics the ability to track labor against Work Orders. While these two features offer similar functionality, it is important to note that they are different features and do not communicate with one another.

Introduction

The Time Tracker is a feature of Texada Web and Texada Mobile that functions as a digital punch clock for your employees, allowing your counter operators, Drivers, and Mechanics to track their time spent working.  

Users are able to clock in and out of the Time Tracker from the User Menu in Texada Web and Texada Mobile. Saved Time Tracker entries can be reviewed, edited, and exported from the Time Tracker page in Texada Web.

Relationship with Work Order Labor

In addition to the Time Tracker features described above, Texada Mobile also offers Mechanics the ability to track labor against Work Orders. Whenever a Mechanic starts a Work Order in Texada Mobile, they will be prompted to select a Labor Line to track their time against. This time will be logged under the Labor tab of the Work Order and can be used to calculate billing.

While these two features offer similar functionality, it is important to note that there is no relationship between the Time Tracker and Work Order Labor. Starting work on a Work Order will NOT automatically clock you into the Time Tracker and vice versa. Similarly, time logged against a Work Order Labor item will NOT appear in the Time Tracker page in Texada Web and vice versa.  

The differences between these two systems are summarized in the table below.
