How to Request Work Log Additions
The Work Logs feature allows employees to record reference logs for situations where they arrive late or continue working offline (e.g., during an app crash).
Important Distinction: Work Logs are for reference only. They provide documentation for your activity, but do not automatically affect addendum computations or final timesheet totals.
How to Add a New Work Log
1. Log In: Access your Cloudica™ dashboard.
2. Open Timesheet: Click Worked Hours on the left side of the dashboard.
3. Select Work Logs: Choose the View Work Logs option from the menu.
4. Add Log: Click the Add Logs button.
5. Set Time: Enter your Time In and Time Out hours (e.g., 8h 20m).
6. Send Request: Click the Submit button.
Requesting for a Previous Date: If you need to file a Work Log for a past date, first use the Date Picker at the top of your dashboard to select the correct date. Once the dashboard updates, proceed with the steps above.
Essential Rules & Requirements
To ensure accuracy, the system enforces the following rules for Work Logs:
- Prerequisites: To enable the Add Log button, you must have an approved Addendum Request.
- Active Sessions: If making a request for the current date, the Add Logs button will be disabled if you are still online in the Cloudica™ desktop app.
- No Overlaps: A Work Log cannot overlap with your recorded app Time In/Out.
- Specific Placement: Work logs must either:
- End exactly at your app "Time In" (for late arrivals).
- Start exactly at your app "Time Out" (for offline work/app crashes).
- Duplicate Logs: Work logs must not overlap with existing pending or approved logs.
