# Time Cards in the Mobile App: Review, Edit, and Approve Time

## **🕒 Time Cards in the Mobile App: Review, Edit, and Approve Time**  
 

### 🧭 **Introduction**

The **Time Cards** section in the Ontraccr mobile app lets users review their time, make corrections (if permitted), and — for supervisors — approve team time cards right from the field. This article covers everything from personal time management to supervisor tools.

* * *

## **📍 Where to Access Time Cards**

You can reach the Time Cards section from:

-   The **Action Center** (Time Cards widget)
-   The **bottom navigation bar** (fourth icon from the left)

* * *

## **👤 Worker View: Review & Manage Your Own Time**

When a regular user opens the Time Cards page, they see:

-   A list of **days with time entries**
-   Each entry grouped by project and cost code
-   Options to view or edit (based on permission)

* * *

### **🔄 Navigate Between Days**

-   Tap the **calendar icon** to jump to a specific day
-   Or use the **up/down arrows** to scroll day-by-day

* * *

### **✏️ Edit Your Time (If Permitted)**

If your role allows time editing:

1.  Tap any entry to open it
2.  Tap the **pencil icon** (top-right)
3.  Change the job, cost code, time, or notes
4.  Tap **Save**

📝 You can also add new time, copy an existing entry, or delete an entry using the icons beside each record.

## **🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Supervisor View: Manage & Approve Team Time**

If you are assigned as a **Team Supervisor**, a new tab appears in Time Cards:

📌 “Team Cards” will be shown at the top — only for users who are added as a supervisor to a team.

* * *

### **🔄 How to Set Up a Team (Web App Only)**

To activate this feature:

-   Go to **Web App → Staff → Manage Teams**
-   Create a team and assign a **Supervisor**
-   Add team members

The supervisor will now see time card submissions from team members on the mobile app.

* * *

### **✅ Approving Team Time**

Under **Team Cards**, supervisors will see a list of users with pending submissions.

To approve:

1.  Tap a user (e.g. “J.T. Miller”)
2.  Review their time entries
3.  Make edits if needed
4.  Tap **“Approve All”**

Once approved:

-   The red **badge counter** on the Time Cards icon will update
-   The approved entries are locked and ready for payroll review

* * *

### **✏️ Edit or Add Time for Team Members**

Supervisors can:

-   Tap into any team member’s day
-   Use the **pencil icon** to:
    -   Edit existing time
    -   Add new time entries
    -   Copy or delete entries
-   Tap **Done** → **Save**

📌 Use this when someone forgets to clock in, or when submitting time on behalf of team members without devices.

* * *

## **🔍 Search and Filter**

-   Use the **search bar** to find team members by name
-   Helps manage large crews quickly

* * *

## **❓ In-App Help UI**

There’s a **help icon** (circle with a question mark) in the top-right of the Time Cards page.

Tap it to:

-   See graphic tutorials on navigating the app
-   Learn how to review and approve time

💡 These guides are embedded across the app, including the Clock page and more.

* * *

## **🔔 Badge Notifications**

-   A red **badge icon** shows how many time cards are pending approval
-   Located on:
    -   The **Time Cards widget** in the Action Center
    -   The **Time Cards icon** in the nav bar

These numbers update in real time based on your pending approvals.

* * *

## ✅ **Outcome**

Using the Time Cards section, users can:

-   View and edit their own time entries (if allowed)
-   Supervisors can review and approve time for their teams
-   Add or fix time entries in real time on the go
-   Stay informed with badge counters and in-app help
