This guide is for System Administrators (Requires 'System Admin' role and 'Time Tracking setup' permission) to distribute to staff.
Overview:
This guide explains how QR codes simplify time tracking through the edays mobile app, including setup and daily usage.
How QR Code Time Tracking Works:
Pre-configured QR codes enable one-tap time logging when scanned, automatically recording hours against specific activities/projects.
Key Features:

  • Mobile scanning: edays app reads QR codes to log time
  • Activity linking: Codes tied to specific tasks/projects
  • Management tools: Edit, refresh or delete codes as needed
  • Auto-updates: Some codes refresh periodically

Using QR Codes:

  4. Scan code linked to your current activity
  5. Time logs automatically
