Tracking your team’s hours doesn’t have to mean paper timesheets or a separate app bolted on the side. With Eano Pro’s clock-in/clock-out, your crew punches in and out from their phones, and those hours flow straight into your project costs as labor — no double entry, no end-of-week guesswork.
This article covers the whole loop: adding your team and setting their rates, assigning them to projects, getting the app onto their phones, the actual clock-in/clock-out, and reviewing everyone’s hours in Timesheets.
How It All Fits Together
There are two sides to this. As the manager, you do the setup on the web: add your people, set their hourly rates, and assign them to the projects they’ll work on. Your crew does the day-to-day on the Eano Pro mobile app: they clock in when they arrive, take breaks, and clock out when they’re done. Because each person’s hours are tied to their hourly rate, every shift turns into a labor expense on the right project — and you review it all in one place when you’re ready.
So the first three steps are yours to set up once; the rest is what your team does every day.
Step 1 — Add Your Team and Set Hourly Rates
In the left navigation menu, go to People, then My Team.
Click + Add Internal Users and fill in each person’s details.
Give them a role that fits how they work on site, and set their Hourly Rate — that’s the number that turns clocked hours into labor expenses automatically. No rate, no automatic cost (clocking still works, you just won’t see the expense).

Step 2 — Assign Workers to Their Projects
This is the step people skip, and it’s the one that makes everything else work: assigning a worker to a project is what lets them pick that project when they clock in. Until someone’s assigned, the app has nothing for them to clock into.
In the left navigation menu, choose Projects.
Open the project the worker will be on by clicking it in the list.
Use Assign Members — the + icon in the project header — to add them.
Do this for each project a worker should have access to. If a worker clocks in without being assigned anywhere, the entry just shows a blank project — no harm done, you can set the right project or fix the hours afterward.
Step 3 — Your Crew Downloads the App
Clock-in/clock-out lives in the Eano Pro mobile app, so each worker needs it on their phone:
On an iPhone: open the App Store and search for Eano Pro, then install it.
On an Android phone: open Google Play and search for Eano Pro, then install it.
Once it’s installed, they sign in with the phone number on their profile — Eano texts them a verification code, so there’s no password to set up or remember. After they log in, the clock-in area is right on their home screen.
Working from an iPad? The clock-in screen is built for phones. If someone’s on a tablet, point them to the web version of Eano Pro instead, which is tuned to run well on iPad.
Step 4 — Clocking In, Breaks, and Clocking Out
From the home screen of the app, your team taps:
Clock In to start their day. If they’re assigned to more than one project, they pick which one they’re working on first.
Take Break when they step away, and End Break when they’re back, so break time is tracked separately from worked time.
Clock Out when they’re done. The rest of the time, the screen simply shows “You are off the clock.”
A worker can switch the project mid-shift if they move to a different site — once switched, the time from that point is recorded under the new project. And because clock-in is location-aware, if someone tries to clock in or out away from the project site, the app asks them to confirm they want to do it out of range before it records anything.
Step 5 — Notes in the Daily Log
While they’re on site, team members can add updates or notes to the project’s Daily Log. Those notes are visible to managers and core members, so a quick line about what got done — or what’s holding things up — keeps everyone in the loop without a phone call.
Step 6 — Review Hours in Timesheets
When it’s time to check hours, head to Timesheets (under People in the left navigation on the web). This is where the whole team’s hours land, and it’s available to Owners, Admins, Superusers, and Managers. There you can:
See who’s clocked in and review logged shifts.
Switch between the Clock-in and Management views.
Add or adjust shifts when someone forgot to clock in or out.
Each project also has its own Timesheets tab if you’d rather look at one job at a time. And since every shift is tied to the worker’s hourly rate, those hours show up as labor expenses on the right project automatically — so reviewing time and tracking cost are the same motion, not two.
A Few Things Worth Knowing
Clocking in isn’t only for field crew. Anyone on your internal team with clock-in access can punch in and out — that includes admins and managers, who can clock in for themselves and see the team’s Timesheets.
Assignment drives the project list. A worker can only clock into a project they’ve been assigned to, so keep project assignments current. (Eano even reminds you: “Assign a project to your team members to activate the clock-in feature.”)
Clock-in is location-aware. If a worker is away from the job site, they’ll be asked to confirm an out-of-range clock-in or clock-out rather than being silently blocked.
No hourly rate, no labor expense. Clocking works without a rate, but you won’t get the automatic labor cost — set a rate for anyone whose time should hit your budget.
A blank project is fixable. Clock-ins with no project assigned aren’t lost; reassign them or edit the hours later in Timesheets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do my workers download the app? The Eano Pro app is on the App Store (iPhone) and Google Play (Android) — just search “Eano Pro.” After installing, they sign in with the phone number on their profile using a texted verification code.
Who can clock in and out? Anyone on your internal team with clock-in access — not just field crew. Admins and managers can clock in for themselves too, and they also get the Timesheets view to review the whole team.
Why can’t a worker pick their project when clocking in? They can only choose a project they’ve been assigned to. Open the project on the web, use Assign Members, and the project will show up the next time they clock in. A clock-in with nothing assigned just shows a blank project, which you can set afterward.
Where do I review everyone’s hours? Open Timesheets under People in the left navigation on the web. It’s available to Owners, Admins, Superusers, and Managers, and it’s where you review shifts, switch between the Clock-in and Management views, and add or adjust hours.
Does clock-in work on an iPad? The clock-in screen is built for phones. On a tablet, use the web version of Eano Pro instead, which is tuned to run well on iPad.
How do clocked hours become costs? Each person’s time is tied to the hourly rate on their profile, so their hours appear as labor expenses on the right project automatically. No hourly rate means no automatic labor cost.
