How to create and manage work objects

Add work sites and locations that employees can select when clocking in.

Written by Geidi Steinberg

Objects represent the places where your employees work. When employees clock in, they can select which object they are working at. This helps track labor costs per location. This setup of this feature is available to users with object permissions (typically Admins and Managers).

How to add an object

  1. Click Objects in the left sidebar.

  2. Click Add Object.

  3. Enter the object name (e.g., "Main Office", "Warehouse A", "Construction Site 12").

  4. Set up Object's Address — the physical location of the work site.

  5. Setup GPS coordinates and radius — sets the geofence area. When an employee clocks in via the mobile app outside this radius, a warning icon appears on the timesheet. The radius does not prevent clock-in — it is informational only.

  6. Click Save changes.

After saving you can add optional details:

  • Area — the region or area the object belongs to

  • Supervisor — the person responsible for the site

  • Comments — any additional notes

  • Export code — used for payroll or accounting integrations

  • Start / End date — the operational period of the object

  • Wage — costs of the object.

How to assign employees to objects

By default, new employees are automatically linked to all objects (controlled by the Auto-bind objects worker setting, which is enabled by default). If you want to restrict which objects an employee can select:

  1. Open the object's settings (click Edit on the object).

  2. Go to the Bindings tab.

  3. Select employees from dropdown list to control access.

  4. Save the changes.

Object statuses

Each object can have one of three statuses:

  • Active — employees can register time here. Visible in filters and mobile app. This is the default for new objects.

  • Inactive — employees can no longer register time here, but historical data remains visible on timesheets and reports.

  • Archived — hidden from timesheets and reports. Can be restored to Active or Inactive later.

To change an object's status, click 3 dots on the right side and select the status from the dropdown list.

No Deleting is possible in this section, so use Archived status for Objects that aren't needed.
