# Clock In to Service Jobs Without a Project List (Service Job Toggle)

## **🔧 Clock In to Service Jobs Without a Project List (Service Job Toggle)**  
 

### 🧭 **Introduction**

Not every job has a predefined project in Ontraccr. For mobile workers handling **one-off or ad hoc service calls**, the new **Service Job toggle** allows them to clock in by **manually entering the job location**, even if it’s **not listed as a formal project**.

This article explains how to use the **Service Job** option during clock-in, when it appears, and how it integrates with regular time tracking.

## 🔐 **Prerequisites**

This feature must be enabled in the **web app** first.

Web App Path:

`Settings → Time Tracking → Enable Service Jobs`

Once enabled, the toggle appears in the mobile app's **Clock In screen**.

## **📱 How to Use the Service Job Toggle**

1.  Open the **Clock** screen on the mobile app (either from Action Center or bottom nav bar)
2.  Tap the **red “Clock In”** button
3.  Toggle on **“Service Job”**
4.  Enter a **custom location name** (e.g., “123 Maple Street – Boiler Repair”)
5.  Tap **Save** (top-right)
6.  Hit the **Clock In** button

You are now clocked into a job that doesn’t exist in your project list — ideal for last-minute or field-initiated work.

## **🔁 Switching Between Service Job and Regular Projects**

-   To **go back to clocking into a regular project**, simply **toggle “Service Job” off**
-   You’ll return to the normal **project dropdown** where you can select from the list
-   You can switch back and forth as needed

* * *

## **💡 Use Cases**

-   Technicians performing **on-demand service calls**
-   Emergency jobs not scheduled in advance
-   Pilot or trial sites not yet created as official projects

* * *

## ✅ **Outcomes**

Using the Service Job toggle allows mobile users to:

-   Track time accurately even when no formal project exists
-   Log one-off jobs without needing admin setup
-   Stay compliant with time tracking protocols on ad hoc work
