Pocket Tid och Tidlogg

Introduktion

Time reporting in Marathon Pocket is done on a similar basis than time reporting in Marathon Office, but without the need of a computer with a downloaded Marathon client. Additionally to the time reporting function, Pocket also has a time logging function to simplify and support the time reporting. In the time log you register starting times for each of your moments during your working day, that way getting easy overview of time spent on a certain client, project or working task and hence improving the quality of your time reporting.

Marathon Pocket is available in App Store and Google Play. Log in with your ordinary Marathon account and enter your company's four digit Marathon code (Ask your system administrator if you don't know the code).

Time log

Go to the time log via the main menu. You see the menu by swiping from left to right or by clicking the list symbol up left.

The time log has two views. The stop watch shows the total amount of time reported on each time step that day. The time line shows each registered start time for the time steps respectively as a list.

You can go back to previous days by swiping to the right. A green line under the day indicates that the day is fully reported and complete, whether completed with the time log or not. Yellow line means that a day is marked as not ready. A red line means that a day is not completed or reported at all.

Create a new time step by tapping the field on the bottom of the screen.

Write a comment. The comment will be the ID of the time step and will be shown in the stop watch and time line later. You can either select project and code directly or wait with it until the time for the actual time reporting.

If you want to correct the start time, swipe to the right on the menu bar. The time shown is total time from the start moment until now and you can easily change to the correct start time , for example fifteen minutes earlier.

Select Yes or No on Working time. This is important for time reporting later on. Moments with work time: No will not be included when you report time via the time log and thus don't need to be labelled with client or project. When you finish time logging for a day, also tap Work time: No.

You can swipe (in Android: hold in) a record and see the menu to the left. Tap Start to create a new time step from ; that is how you shift between your time records. The function Delete deletes all time steps that have been registered for the time record. The function Report reports this very record and nothing more.

Click on a record to enter a editing view. Here you can change the information registered on the time record as well as on earlier time records. If you for example start a time step too late, you can adjust the clock backwards in the editing view.

To see a list of functions in the time log, tap on “...” up right . You will see a menu on the left. You can set up default comments with the function Templates. They are shown as suggestions when you create new time records. An example of a common template is “Out of office” usable in logging lunch break, other breaks or finishing a working day.

The function Report auto transfers your logged time to Marathon's Time reporting. If you get a question about marking a day as not finished, you have one or several time records that lack either project or code. If you transfer the hours anyway, you will have to complete the time report later. Report remaining is for reporting the rest of the day until your required hours are full. Note, that the remaining is based on what you already have

The time line presents the registered information in a different and more detailed way. Also here you can create new time steps and edit previous records, just as in the stop watch. The difference is that what you do here concerns a specific time step. Swipe to left ( Android: hold in) to see the menu of functions for the time step.

Another function for the time line shows when you tap ”…” up right, Multiple time steps. Here you can report several intervals at oen time. Note, that entered project and code here is ignores, thus you can only report intervals coming on the same project and code.

Time reporting

Go to Time in the main menu.

Go to the menu by swiping to right or click the list symbol up left.

Swipe up and down between months. The colours indicate time reporting status ; complete (greem) , not ready (yellow) and incomplete (red). Tap on one day to make a time report on it. The registration here works as in Marathon Office; you report pre project and code and when you have set up all records for the day you mark it ready or not ready.

You can also report multiple days . Tap on ”…” up right while in the calendar view, select Multiple days. Select month. Report per project and code, nut number of hours can be edited for each day of the month. When you are ready, save the time reports, or cancel with the backwards arrow up left.
