How to Use Time Stamps for Multiple Resources

Track labor hours for multiple resources on the same work order

Imagine a work order with multiple resources working at different times across a couple of days. Keeping track of all those labour hours sounds daunting, but Hippo makes it easy with its timestamp feature.

Quick example

If you worked one and a half hours on 01/03/2021 starting at 12:00 PM and then an additional thirty minutes on 01/06/2021 from 1:30 PM to 2 PM, Hippo keeps track of all those labour hours on the same work order. If later on, you needed to double-check, everything is available on both the work order screen and calculated in reports.

Working with time stamps

It's the Add button that allows you to add new entries, and you can then edit or remove timestamps that were included by mistake.
