Labor Log
The labor log lists all hourly labor entered while completing the work request. In some circumstances, requests may be configured so that they cannot be closed without creating labor entries. The labor log can be opened by tapping the Labor Log button on the Work Order Details page.
Each labor entry specifies the date, the amount of time, the type of hours (regular, overtime, or double-time), the type of activity, and the name of the user that made the entry. The icon preceding the entry indicates how the time was entered. A stopwatch indicates that the time was entered using the real-time start/stop clock function. A clipboard icon indicates that the time was entered manually after the work was performed.
