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?
How to fix GPS tracking issues in the Jobber app?
I am struggling with the GPS function I went through all of my workers phones and made sure that they are set up correctly. Sometimes they work some what right and sometimes they don't work at all. Every now and then they work completely correctly. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or is anyone else having this problem? ThreeRElectrical
