New Timesheets

The new timesheets update rolled out for me today—did anyone else get it? I’d really love to hear what others think.

 

At a high level, I can see what Jobber was trying to do, but in practice it’s added time to my workflow instead of saving it.

 

**A few specific changes I’ve noticed:**

 

**1. GPS Tracking Changes**

Each entry now has its own GPS icon, but instead of opening a full daily view for that employee, it’s now a small pop-up map. I have to zoom in significantly just to see the address—and repeat that for every single entry.

 

Previously, I could see all of an employee’s starts, stops, and job completions for the day in one place. Now it takes much longer to review the same information.

 

**2. “Add Entry” Pop-Up Issue**

The new Add Entry window is fixed and can’t be moved, which means it blocks the schedule behind it.

 

I manually add drive time between jobs, so I need to reference both the start and end times of each job. Since I can’t see that information while entering it, I have to keep closing or working around the pop-up—this adds a lot of extra steps throughout the day.

 

**3. Loss of Real-Time Job Duration**

This is the biggest issue for me. Timesheets no longer show the *current* duration while a timer is running—only the final duration after it’s stopped.

 

For my business, that real-time visibility is important. If a job is running long, I rely on that to check in with my team and make sure everything is on track. Losing that feature is a big step backward.

I’m a smaller company with just a few employees, so it’s possible these changes are geared more toward larger teams. But for me, this update has made things more time-consuming rather than more efficient.

 

Curious if others are experiencing the same—or if there are workflows I’m missing that make this easier?
