Custom Fields in app

SYNCrew has four available fields that can be enabled that workers can user at change task or clock out. Each field can be set as optional (worker can use them, but are not required) or mandatory (worker cannot leave site or clock out until they are completed).

Once these are enabled, they will show up all through the system including:

  • Each photo
  • Work block report
  • Activity report
  • Timesheets
  • Most places where notes are shown

These fields are each a little different and are described below. To name and enable these, go to Settings –> Configuration and then scroll down to “App Configuration Options.”

Pick List:

The “Cost Center” is a PICK LIST field that workers will pick a value from a pre-set list when they change skill on a jobsite, change jobsites, or clock out. It can be optional or mandatory.

  4. Click into “add new item name” and type your first pick list value. Click “add” and then repeat until your whole list has been entered.
