How to Configure the Timesheet in DreamzFSM
DreamzFSM allows organizations to track employee work hours using the Timesheet configuration feature. By enabling and configuring timesheets, administrators can ensure that technician work hours, labor time, and job-related activities are properly recorded and managed.
Timesheets help organizations maintain accurate work records, monitor productivity, and simplify payroll or reporting processes. DreamzFSM’s built-in time tracking tools allow employees to log hours directly from job assignments, ensuring accurate records without manual tracking.
Overview
The Timesheet configuration section allows administrators to control how technician work hours are captured and recorded within the system.
Once configured, technicians can log time spent on jobs, allowing managers to review work hours, monitor performance, and maintain accurate records for reporting or payroll purposes.
Timesheet settings typically determine how time entries are created, validated, and displayed across the platform.
