Clock In and Out

How to use the Resytech dashboard clock widget to start and end shifts, select an employee role, and track time.

The clock widget is always visible in the dashboard header, so you can clock in and out from any page without navigating away from your current task. Every clock-in creates a time entry linked to your account, the current location, and an optional employee role.

Clock in

In the dashboard header bar, click the Clock In button (green play icon).
A dropdown appears showing available employee roles.
Select a role, or leave it on Default to use your default employee role (or no role if none is set).
Click the Clock In button in the dropdown.

Once clocked in, the widget changes to show:

A green pulsing indicator confirming you are active.
An elapsed time counter (e.g., "2h 15m") that updates every minute.
The name of the selected role (if one was chosen).
A red Out button to clock out.

Clock out

In the dashboard header bar, click the red Out button next to the elapsed time display.
The clock-out is recorded immediately. The widget returns to the "Clock In" state.

How it works

One active session at a time. You cannot clock in if you already have an open time entry. Clock out first, then clock in again.
Location is automatic. The time entry is linked to your currently selected location in the dashboard. Make sure you are viewing the correct location before clocking in.
Role fallback. If you do not select a role during clock-in, the system uses your default employee role (set on your user profile). If no default is configured, the entry is created without a role.
Role validation. If the selected role has been deactivated since you last loaded the page, the clock-in will fail with a message: "Selected role not found or is inactive."
Elapsed time display. The timer shows hours and minutes since clock-in. It updates every 60 seconds. If you have been clocked in for less than an hour, only minutes are shown (e.g., "15m").

What gets recorded

Each clock-in creates a time entry with the following data:

Field	Value
User	Your account.
Location	The location you were viewing when you clocked in.
Employee Role	The role you selected (or your default, or none).
Clock In	The exact UTC timestamp when you clicked Clock In.
Clock Out	Null until you clock out, then the exact UTC timestamp.
Total Hours	Calculated automatically when you clock out.
Notes	Empty by default. Administrators can add notes later via Edit Time Entries.

Viewing your clock history

After clocking out, your entries appear on the personal timesheet page. Navigate to Timesheet in the sidebar to see your recent entries.

Tips

Check your location before clocking in. The time entry is permanently linked to whichever location you had selected. If you work at multiple locations in a day, clock out and back in when you switch.
Forgot to clock out? Ask an administrator to edit your time entry and set the correct clock-out time. Open entries without a clock-out show as "Active" indefinitely.
The widget persists across pages. Navigating around the dashboard does not affect your active clock-in. The elapsed timer continues running.
Default roles save clicks. If most of your shifts are under the same role, ask your administrator to set a default role on your account so you can clock in with one fewer step.
