Configure Job Clock, location, collaboration, and mobile options for a user

  1. Open the workspace

    In JobBuddy, go to User Admin → Users (#/admin/users) → select user → Settings.

  2. Confirm access and starting state

    Company-admin access; enabled Job Clock or location-related workflow where applicable; user has mobile access and relevant project/work-type permissions.

  3. Complete the main setup

    Review Enable Job Clock, work-hour restriction, geofence check/notification, Track Location, External Collaboration, notification preferences, and verified Simple/Advanced mobile controls.

  4. Review the important choices

    Separate privacy expectations from troubleshooting and state that device permissions may also be required.

  5. Verify the result

    Turn on only the per-user capabilities needed for field work and understand their prerequisites.

    Expected result: Turn on only the per-user capabilities needed for field work and understand their prerequisites.

Troubleshooting

The page, control, or action is unavailable.

Confirm the required access and starting state: Company-admin access; enabled Job Clock or location-related workflow where applicable; user has mobile access and relevant project/work-type permissions.

The result is incomplete or unexpected.

Company-level modules and per-user flags are both required; work-hour and geofence rules can block or warn; location tracking affects Map/Presence; mobile settings do not replace role/project permissions.

The issue remains after checking the record.

Capture the exact visible error, record status, approximate time, and intended result. Give support only the minimum customer-safe evidence needed to trace the problem.

What happens next

  • Turn on only the per-user capabilities needed for field work and understand their prerequisites.
  • Review the resulting record, status, notifications, and related history before continuing downstream work.
  • Use the related guide when the next action belongs to another JobBuddy workflow.
