The D-Tools Cloud mobile app includes “Start job and End job” functionality, which lets Field users automatically track time on project events and service calls.
As a Field user, you can also add time entries manually if you cannot use the Start job and End job functionality.
To access the Time Entries interface, tap the 3-line drawer in the top-right corner and tap “My Time Entries.”
You can see the time entries you previously added grouped by date.
To filter your time entries, tap the “Filters” icon in the top-right corner and select the filters. You can filter by date, entry type, project, labor type, and service call.
