How Do I Track Time in the Dusk FSM App

## How Do I Track Time in the Dusk FSM App

Staff and Contractors can clock in, change the Work or Project they are booking time to, and clock out using either the standalone **Dusk Time and Attendance app** or the **Time and Attendance** tile in the main Dusk FSM app.

### Before You Begin

You will need:

* your Dusk FSM email address;
* the password created from your welcome email;
* Work or a Project assigned to you if you need to book time against a specific activity.

If the Work or Project you need is not available, contact your manager or Dusk FSM Administrator. It may need to be created and assigned to you first.

### Sign In for the First Time

The first time you use the app:

1. Open the Dusk Time and Attendance app or the main Dusk FSM app.
2. Sign in using your Dusk FSM email address and password.
3. Set your security question when prompted.
4. Create a four-digit PIN.

You can use your PIN for faster access on future visits.

### Clock In and Start Recording Time

To begin your workday:

1. Open the app.
2. Enter your four-digit PIN.
3. Select **Clock In**.
4. Choose the Work or Project you are working on.
5. Select the relevant Task.
6. Select **Start**.

The app will return you to the PIN screen and begin recording your time.

### Change Work Projects or Tasks

You can change what you are booking time to without clocking out for the day.

1. Open the app.
2. Enter your PIN.
3. Do not select **Clock Out**.
4. Choose the new Work or Project.
5. Select the relevant Task.
6. Select **Start**.

The current activity will stop and time recording will continue against your new selection.

### Clock Out at the End of the Day

When you have finished working:

1. Open the app.
2. Enter your PIN.
3. Select **Clock Out**.

The app will return to the PIN screen and finish recording your workday.

### Use Time and Attendance in the Main Dusk FSM App

The same Time and Attendance workflow is available in the main Dusk FSM app.

1. Sign in to the Dusk FSM app.
2. Open the **Time and Attendance** tile.
3. Clock in, select your Work or Project and Task, and start recording time.
4. Return to the tile when you need to change activities or clock out.

You do not need both apps. Use the standalone Time and Attendance app if you only need time-tracking functionality, or the main Dusk FSM app if you also receive and complete dispatched Work.

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### Do I need both Dusk FSM apps?

No. The standalone Time and Attendance app provides a focused time-tracking experience. The same functionality is available from the **Time and Attendance** tile in the main Dusk FSM app.

#### Why can I not see the Work or Project I need?

The Work or Project may not have been created or assigned to you. Ask your manager or Dusk FSM Administrator to check the setup and assignment.

#### Should I clock out when changing Work Projects or Tasks?

No. Select the new Work or Project and Task, then select **Start**. Use **Clock Out** only when you have finished your workday.

#### How do I know if time is being recorded?

After you select the Work or Project, choose a Task and select **Start**, the app returns to the PIN screen and continues recording your time.

#### What should I do if I forget my PIN?

Use the available PIN recovery option and answer the security question configured during your first login. If you are unable to recover access, contact your Dusk FSM Administrator.

#### Can I review the time I have recorded?

Recorded time is available through the Time Sheets functionality, subject to the access provided by your assigned role.
