TimeWriter Professional has available clients (Apps) for Android as well as iOS (iPad & iPhone). These Apps can be downloaded from the Google Play store or from the Apple App store.
The TwMobile App only allows registration of hours. The TwMobile App works with a local database and can also be used without internet connection. Synchronisation collects all aspects allowed for creating hourly bookings. Also, for a number of days, historical bookings will be collected together with all future bookings. The number of offline days can be set up. Only bookings made through the App can be edited in the App. After synchronising these hours can no longer be edited.
Configuration of mobile clients
Before you can make use of mobile clients you need to configure them for your administration. From the mobile client main menu select Settings. In this screen you can configure the following items:
Item |
Value |
|
Server |
Select the pro.cloud.timewriter.nl server. Or select own when an own TimeWriter pro server is in use. |
|
Administration |
You can find the administration number on the License tab in the Help | About screen in the desktop client (see picture below). |
|
Login name |
As set up in the employee settings. |
|
Password |
As set up in the employee settings. |
|
Number of offline days |
The number of days of historical hour bookings. |
Start synchronising after the configurations are set. The server or desktop client will check the settings every time you synchronise.
Cloud synchronisation
When the desktop has been configured to work via a cloud database, TwMobile will also synchronise with the cloud (local synchronisation is always possible). From the main menu in the mobile client select Synchronisation. In this screen click on Cloud synchronisation. When configuration settings are valid the hour bookings will be validated by the server. It is possible that non valid bookings have been made at some stage, for instance because an employee is no longer authorised for a particular aspect. Non-valid bookings must be validated before they can be saved. See the chapter on Validate.
Validate
Hours booked that are not valid at the time of synchronisation, can be validated in the desktop client. Go to the Input | Week grid module in the Module explorer and then select: TwMobile | Validate from the menu. In the next screen select the employee(s) for whom hours have to be validated and click on button Validate start. For all bookings that need to be validated, a screen with details of the booking will appear; details can be validated here.
