Depending on the MobileTech setup for time logs, you can time in and out of an appointment without entering a manual time entry. If MobileTech is set up to use time logs, a clock Image Removed icon icon displays to the left of the appointment ID in the Appointments list. You can time in and out as many times as you need to before you complete the appointment. Your hours are saved as a labor entry after each time out.
