- How Do I Sort Shifts? (Shifts are Out of Order)
Shifts can be sorted by tapping on a column title on the View Shifts screen, such as the “Date” title. Tapping on it again will reverse the sorting order.
- Work Log vs Work Log – Shift Tracker
Work Log was originally created for Android in 2013 and has been continuously added to and improved since then. Recently Work Log – Shift Tracker was created from scratch. Creating a new app from the ground up made it possible to add many features users have been requesting over the years, such as automatic cloud backups and syncing, and per shift wages.
In order to support the long term continued development of the improvement of all Work Log products and to cover the ongoing cost of cloud backups and syncing, the new business model is a subscription model. The original Work Log will not be going away, and you can continue to use it indefinitely.
Although Work Log – Shift Tracker is new and improved, the original Work Log does have a couple strengths. The following chart can help show the differences between both apps.
- How To Transfer Shifts from Work Log to Work Log – Shift Tracker
The easiest way to transfer your shifts is to email the backup to yourself using the “Backup Database” option in Work Log’s General Settings on your Android device. Next download that attachment onto your device. Then open Work Log – Shift Tracker, go to the Backups and Syncing section in the General Settings, select Import Database, and select the file you downloaded. The imported shifts will be added as a new job/jobs.
- Wages and/or Overtime rates are not changing
This is usually caused because the Raises feature is on and is overriding your wage/overtime rates. You can fix this by checking the Raises section in the Job Settings and making sure the correct dates and wages are set, or turning off the Raises feature if you’re not using it.
