Jobsite Timecards and Clock-In Workflows
Field Log centers on capturing work time where the crew is actually working. Users can clock in and out, enter single-employee timecards, or use grid-style entry for a group, then connect hours to the job, phase, or cost code used by the office. This keeps a paper-like routine close to the jobsite while giving supervisors a clearer record to review later.
The connected FOUNDATION workflow can add geolocation stamps when employees start, switch tasks, or finish, and geofencing can define where those actions are accepted. A worker can handle a quick daily entry from a phone, while a foreman can review several time entries together. The result is a more consistent handoff from field activity to payroll preparation.
Field Notes, Photos, and Job Records
Construction work produces more than hours, and Field Log is designed to carry those details alongside timecards. Teams can capture jobsite data, notes, photos, materials, equipment use, receipts, quantities complete, and request-for-clarification details when their FOUNDATION setup enables the relevant modules. Keeping these records near the work makes a daily log more useful than a bare time total.
The mobile workflow also supports recurring field documentation such as weather-related notes, reimbursements, per diems, and signatures. Crews can record information as it happens instead of recreating it at the end of a shift, while managers gain a more organized trail for follow-up. This suits contractors who need one place to collect small but important job facts.
Signatures, Approvals, and Office Sync
Field Log adds control steps for teams that need time and job records reviewed before they move into accounting. Employees can capture signatures on timecards, use custom or flexible fields for company-specific requirements, and route entries through review or approval paths. Supervisors can inspect group time entries, confirm the details, and keep the pay-period workflow moving without waiting for paper forms to return.
Once records are ready, the mobile solution sends field data back to FOUNDATION so the office can work from the same information. That connected approach helps reduce manual re-entry and makes it easier to compare submitted hours, job details, and daily activity. It is especially useful for contractors managing multiple crews or projects at once.
Account-Based Routines for Construction Crews
Field Log is aimed at organizations already using FOUNDATION mobile rather than casual personal time tracking. The Android entry screen asks for a username and password, and the service is intended for users with an Android-enabled FOUNDATION mobile account. Once access is enabled by an account administrator, the app can serve as a daily companion for employees, foremen, and office reviewers.
That account-based model makes the app a good fit for scheduled clock-ins, project notes, cost-code entries, approval routines, and regular data handoffs between the jobsite and office. It is less suitable for someone looking for a standalone personal timer or a general notes app. Teams should confirm their FOUNDATION setup, user access, and field modules before relying on a particular workflow.
