Location – captured for each user action as detailed in the Terms & Conditions and available on Logsheet Page.
Customer -Job and Task or Service lists – captured with each user action and available in Time Sheet reports.
Mileage – up to 6 digit mileage entry with each user action.
Notes – up to 300 characters with each user action.
Check Point – used to capture user information above during shifts.
