The TimeControl Mobile App

The TimeControl Mobile App connects directly to your TimeControl system. All your timesheet configuration, data selections and customizations are all already there so what appears on your screen matches what you would see on a full browser when connecting to TimeControl. You log in with the same credentials you use for TimeControl and you can now create a new timesheet, update one in progress, or complete your week and release your timesheet. If you are a supervisor, you can do your approvals right from your phone or tablet! All of TimeControl’s configuration features like Automated Validation Rules and security are already a part of the TimeControl Mobile App as it is all part of your central TimeControl system.

TimeControl Mobile on a SmartPhone or Tablet

TimeControl supports both Android and Apple (iOS) phones. The screen functionality is highly responsive and will adjust to the resolution available to it in both portrait and landscape modes.

TimeControl Mobile Communications are Safe and Secure

The TimeControl Mobile App uses the same communications protocol we use for the regular TimeControl site. If you are using TimeControl Online this is already secured through the Secure Socket Layer (SSL). If you have deployed TimeControl on premise, you can do the same so your data is completely safe even while sending it from your phone.

Approvals

Even Supervisors can use the TimeControl Mobile App for approvals. The TimeControl List is right there and Supervisors can review, approve, or reject a timesheet. If they have the appropriate rights, they can add additional lines to it while the timesheet is in their control. Automated Validation Rules work just as they do in the full-sized web version. If a user tries to release a timesheet that doesn't follow one of the timesheet business rules defined in TimeControl, then the user is immediately prompted with the error and asked to correct it.

Administrators can elect to restrict access to the TimeContol Mobile App if they choose. This can be set up for all users or just selected users depending as is required.

Reporting

TimeControl Mobile Views can give managers decision making power right from the App. Views can include a multitude of types including pie charts, bar charts, histograms and even radar reports. Views are visible on any tablet devices or phone devices that the free TimeControl Mobile App supports. The view will adjust itself to the screen real estate available to it. Unusual level of functionality takes the concept of a timesheet app out of the realm of just data collection and brings the potential of up to date data to the hands of managers who might need to make certain decisions without having to go to reporting in the full-screen system in a browser.

Crew Timesheets for TimeControl Industrial

The TimeControl Mobile App includes functionality for not just regular timesheets and regular timesheet approvals.
