Enable Auto Create Entries

The Auto Create Entries option enables the application to automatically create time entries based on geolocation activity. This automates time collection, allowing users to focus on tasks rather than manual entry. This option is available only in the mobile app.
To enable Auto Create Entries:
Tap the Auto Create Entries toggle.
Note: Auto Create Entries is disabled by default. If Geolocation Tracking is disabled, Auto Create Entries is also disabled and unavailable. To enable Auto Create Entries, you must first enable Geolocation Tracking.
When Auto Create Entries is enabled, the mobile app automatically creates time entries from completed location activities when the ComputerEase Field mobile app opens. The app populates the date, time, hours, and job fields with default values. If multiple jobs overlap, the job field remains blank. Required jobs can be added before sign-off. Each automatically created time entry includes the following description: Created based on location activity.
The mobile app also creates a travel time entry when a user's location activity shows they left one job and arrived at another on the same day. This occurs only if the Work Location field is visible and Travel is available. If these conditions are not met, travel entries are not created.
The travel time entry uses the arriving job as the charge job, populates the date and either elapsed hours or departure/arrival times from the activity, and defaults all other values as if entered manually. If multiple jobs overlap, the first job in the list is selected and can be changed. Each travel time entry includes the following description: Created by location activity between job X to job X. Distance traveled: X miles.
Overnight travel that crosses dates is not supported.
