Active vs Inactive Jobs

All Toolr Time Clock plans include an unlimited number of Jobs. Use them however you wish to help organize employee's time spent!

Q: What does it mean to have an “active job”?

An active job is a feature of Toolr Time Clock to mark a Job as either active or inactive. The only difference between active and inactive is that: an active Job will be listed on the clock in/out screens, thus can be selected by an Employee when they clock in or out, whereas an inactive Job will not be visible on any clock in/out screens, thus cannot be selected by an Employee while they're clocking in or out. Admins also cannot select an inactive Job when they're creating manual Time Entries.

If you want a Job to show up on the Employee's clock in/out screen, make sure you have the "Job Selection" Device setting enabled. If a Job is active, it will be available to choose when the Employee goes to clock in/out. If the Job is inactive, it will NOT be available to choose when the Employee goes to clock in/out.  

Q: Can I still run reports for inactive jobs?

You bet! We understand that even though an Job is inactive, it’s an important feature for accounting/payroll to still be able to run historical reports for those Jobs. 

Inactive Jobs will automatically be shown on all respective reports.
