Shift attachments are information pieces that users are asked to add to their shift time. These could be the equipment that was used, mileage covered, who was the manager on the worksite, and more. In this article, we'll go over how to set up shift attachments, how it appears for the user, and how you can view the information afterwards on their timesheets.
How to set up shift attachments on the admin dashboard
To create a shift attachment, open your admin dashboard and navigate to the Time Clock settings and find the Shift attachments tab on the left-hand side. Click + Add attachment to create a new shift attachment, and fill in the relevant information. Don't forget to click on Save Changes to save the shift attachments!
Watch the process from start to finish:
The following types of shifts attachments can be created:
Dropdown list
Text box
Number
Image attachment
File attachment

Every field can be marked as required, such that users must complete them before clocking out.
