User Prompts

User prompts can be given to TC Individual mobile app users when they clock in or clock out. These prompts can be in the form of messages or questions and are configurable on the Configure User Prompts screen.

To open this screen, click Setup in the Administration section of the side menu, then click User Prompts.

Creating a user prompt

  1. Click Add Reminder below the User Prompts grid. A new row will be added at the bottom of the grid.

    If this prompt has a user note box, select which type of validation to apply to the note box:

    • Optional: The user does not have to enter a note.

    • Always Required: The user must always enter a note, or they will be prevented from clocking in/out.

    • Required if Unexpected Response: The user must enter a note if they provided an unexpected response to the question, or they will be prevented from clocking in/out.

    Select which timesheet groups will be shown this prompt.

Editing a user prompt

User prompts can be edited using in-line editing at any time up until they are first sent out to mobile users, at which point every field except “Enabled” becomes locked and can no longer be changed. If you wish to edit a prompt which has already been sent, you must disable it by unticking “Enabled” and create a new prompt with the updated details.

Deleting a user prompt

User prompts can be deleted at any time up until they are first sent out to mobile users. They can still be disabled at any time by unticking the “Enabled” checkbox, which will prevent them from being sent out from that point onwards.

  1. To delete a user prompt, click the trash can iconin the Actions column. You will receive a warning popup asking if you are sure.
