Employee Hours
The Employee Hours form is similar to the Job Materials and Expense forms, but instead of displaying materials or expenses, it shows the hours employees worked across your jobs.
Once employee hours are entered on active estimates, this form allows you to review, group, and report on that data in one central location.
Opening the Employee Hours form
There are three ways to open the Employee Hours form.
Option 1: From the main menu
From the top menu, click View and select View All Employee Data.
This option displays employee hours for all jobs.
Option 2: From the Customer Database
On the Customer Database page, click the menu button at the bottom and select View All Employee Data.
This method respects any filters currently applied in the Customer Database. For example, if you are filtering to show only last year’s jobs, only employee hours from those jobs will be displayed.
Option 3: From the Customer Database context menu
Right-click a customer or job in the Customer Database and select Display Job Hours.
This option shows employee hours for the selected customer only. If the job has not been started, this option will be unavailable.
