This article explains how to report regular working hours using the Time module in the Next Mobile application. It walks readers through the step-by-step process of logging work time, including selecting a project and work order, entering hours, adding diary notes, and registering materials and salary supplements.

This view displays various favorite lists with items set up by your system administrator. If you notice anything missing, please reach out to your administrator for help — you cannot create your own favorite lists on mobile.
Enter the quantities for the items you used from the different favorite lists, then tap Save.
That's it — your time is now registered! You'll be taken back to the weekly view, where you'll see a summary of today's reports.

What do I do if I can't find the project or work order I need to report time on?
This could be because you don't have permission to access that project or work order, or because its status makes it hidden on mobile.
Reach out to your project manager or system administrator — they'll be able to help you out!
Time tracking with minute precision
When using start and stop for time tracking, it is now possible to report in minute intervals – not just in whole quarters or half hours. The feature is activated per database. Contact Next support if you wish to adjust the interval.
