How do I start the day, take lunch, and end the day?
For field crews · Updated October 12, 2026
Use this when you are clocking in, taking lunch, or ending your day from the Today tab in the mobile app.
Start Shift
Tap Start Shift on the Today tab. This only clocks you in; no event steps move on their own. The app then asks what kind of work you are starting so your time lands on the right event or project. If you never ended a previous day, a prompt says you are still clocked in and lets you close that day at the time you actually stopped, keep working, or discard an accidental clock-in.
Lunch breaks
Tap Start Lunch when lunch begins and End Lunch when you return. Lunch is deducted from your hours, and the final review shows Work, Lunch, and Net totals. You must end lunch before ending your shift.
End Shift
Tap End Shift. If a vehicle is still checked out, return it or hand it off to finish ending your shift. The Shift summary sheet then opens with your totals and your timeline. Tap Yes, submit to send the day, or Something's off to add a note and send the shift to your supervisor.
Leaving before the crew
On a group event, open the event and tap End my shift. You clock out and the event keeps running for the rest of the crew.
Best practice
Start your shift before you travel and end it before you head home, so nothing is left for the morning prompt.
