Work Reports Module - Comprehensive User Documentation

1. Introduction to the Work Reports Module

The Work Reports Module is a comprehensive system for recording and billing completed work. It serves to record employee work performance, track their time, and subsequent billing to customers. The system allows flexible rate configuration, integration with orders, tasks, CRM, and other eIntranet system modules.

Main uses:
  • Recording employee worked hours
  • Tracking time spent on individual orders
  • Reporting work on specific tasks and projects
  • Billing completed work to customers
  • Statistics and employee performance overview
  • Data export for payroll system and accounting

Key Module Features

  • Integration with orders (manually entered, admin-managed, or from Orders module)
  • Tasks module integration - direct work reporting on tasks
  • CRM integration - linking to companies and branches
  • HelpDesk integration - automatic work reporting on tickets
  • Optional fields (up to 10 custom fields with various types)
  • Five display modes for different data views
  • Batch entry of multiple records at once
  • File attachment system for reports
  • Notes and change history
  • Print report to PDF form
  • Export to XML for accounting systems
  • REST API for external systems
  • Automatic report completion reminders

2. Module Configuration and Settings

2.1 User Rights

The module offers a six-level permission system for detailed access control to work reports:

Permission Level Permission Description Typical Use
0 - No Access User has no access to the work reports module Employees who don't report their work (e.g., external contractor without access)
1 - Own Work Only User can write and read only their own work Regular employees who report only their work
3 - Own + Selected User can write and read their work + work of selected users (e.g., subordinates) Team leaders who manage their group's reports
5 - Write Own, Read All User can write only their own work but see all reports Employees with need for company-wide overview
10 - Write and Read All User can write work for anyone and see all reports HR department, management assistants
15 - Full Rights + XML Full rights including deletion, deleted records recovery, and XML export Administrators, accountants, company management
Warning: If you have admin-managed orders enabled (see below), order rights override individual user rights. Users can then only see their own work + work on orders they have access to.

2.2 General Settings

Time Entry Limitation

Max. number of days fillable retrospectively (1-90 or unlimited):
Determines how far back in time a user can fill reports. For example, with a value of 7, only the last week can be filled. This limitation doesn't apply to administrators.

Automatic Reminders

Alert if nothing filled going back (1-90 days):
The system checks daily at 6:00 PM whether employees have filled reports for the last X working days. If not, it sends an alert.
  • Alert type: Email, SMS, or both options (if SMS is enabled)
  • Condition: Always OR only if the employee was at work that day (according to Attendance module)
  • Exceptions: You can select users who should not receive alerts

Order Settings

The system offers three modes for managing order names:

Mode Description Advantages Disadvantages
Free Entry Each user can enter a new order name when filling a report Flexible, fast, no prior setup needed Possibility of typos, duplicates, no order rights control
Admin Management Only admin can add new orders in module settings. For each order, you determine who can read/write work Full control, rights management, no duplicates Need for prior order creation, less flexible
From Orders Module Orders are loaded from the Orders module. You can filter only active ones and by priority Central order management, automatic synchronization Dependency on Orders module, setup needed there
Warning about "Admin Management" mode:
If you enable this mode and also have integration with other modules (HelpDesk, Tasks), a situation may occur where a user won't see their work reported through these modules if they don't have access to the relevant order. We recommend not using this function with integration to other modules.

Integration with Other Modules

Module integration:
  • Tasks Module: Allows direct work reporting on a task. In reports, you then see which task the work was related to, including link and Excel export option.
  • HelpDesk Module: When resolving a ticket, you can report time spent on the ticket. Description and CRM link are automatically pre-filled.
  • CRM Module: You can enable entering company and branch from CRM when reporting work.
  • Orders Module: Loading order names directly from the Orders module (see above).

2.3 Tariff/Rate System

The module supports up to 10 different tariffs (rates) to distinguish work types:

Tariff settings (for each tariff):
  • Name: Descriptive tariff name (e.g., "Regular Work", "Weekend", "Night", "Overtime")
  • Employee multiplier: Coefficient to multiply hours in employee overview (e.g., 1.5 for overtime hours). Used for payroll calculations.
  • Rate/hour: Price per hour in given tariffs for customer billing
Tariff usage example:
A company has 3 tariffs: "Regular Work" (500 CZK/hr, multiplier 1.0), "Weekend" (750 CZK/hr, multiplier 1.5), "Night" (900 CZK/hr, multiplier 2.0). An employee works 8 hours during the weekend. The customer is billed 8 x 750 = 6000 CZK, but the employee receives 8 x 1.5 = 12 hours in payroll records.

2.4 Optional Fields (Custom Columns)

The system allows adding up to 10 custom fields for your organization's specific needs. For each field, you can set:

Setting Description
Field Name Label displayed to the user
Field Type Checkbox, Number, Decimal Number, Date, Auto-suggest, Dropdown, CRM Company, Multiple CRM Companies, Customer from Registry, Billing Table, Text, Rich Text, User
Required If checked, the field must be filled before saving the report
Display in Main Table Field is displayed as a column in the reports overview
Display in Filter Allows filtering records by this field's values
Email Notification When a specific value is entered, an email is sent to the specified address (e.g., when value is "URGENT", send email to supervisor)
Display After Determines field position in form (At beginning, After order, After task, After time, At end)

Special Field Type: Billing Table (Type 29)

This field type allows creating custom work catalogs with automatic time and cost calculations. For each code, you can enter:
  • Code: Work abbreviation (e.g., "INST-01")
  • Name: Work description (e.g., "Base Plate Installation")
  • Pcs/Hr: Whether counted in pieces or hours
  • Price per Unit: Price per unit (piece or hour)
When filling the report, the user gets "From - To" fields generated (for calculating hours) or "Quantity" (for calculating pieces). Price is automatically calculated in the "Additional Costs" field.

2.5 Print to PDF Form

If you enable printing reports to form, the system automatically:

  • Generates report number in format YYYYMMDD/ID (e.g., 20250110/1234)
  • Adds "Report Number" column to the table
  • Allows printing form with company logo, customer details, and signature fields
  • You can upload your own logo (ideally 250x300px in PNG format)

2.6 REST API

For integration with external systems (e.g., payroll system, CRM), a REST API is available:

Steps for using API:
  1. Enable REST API in module settings
  2. Login: POST to /RestAPI/Login with username, password, and RestAPIPassword
  3. Get RESTAPIHash from response (valid 5 minutes)
  4. Download data: GET /RestAPI/Get/[RESTAPIHash]/Vykazy_prace/ (all, YEAR/YEAR, YEAR/YEAR/MONTH/MONTH)
  5. Update data: PUT /RestAPI/Put/[RESTAPIHash]/Vykazy_prace/[idVykazy_prace]

3. User Interface

3.1 Five Display Modes

The module offers five different data views of work reports, each optimized for specific purposes:

Mode Description Use
1. Work Reports Basic listing of all records with filters Regular work, searching specific reports, editing
2. Monthly Overview Aggregated data by months and orders Monthly reports, workload overview, work on orders overview
3. Overview by Orders Detailed work breakdown for selected order Order billing, checking hours worked on project
4. Overview by Employees Detailed work breakdown for specific employee including tariffs Payroll calculations, employee performance evaluation
5. Statistics Statistical outputs for selected period Analysis, trends, capacity planning

3.2 Data Filtering

In all display modes, the following filters are available:

  • Year/Month/Day: Time filter to limit displayed data
  • Employee: Filter by who performed the work
  • Order/Contract: Filter by order name or contract link
  • CRM Company: If enabled, filter by CRM company
  • CRM Branch: If enabled, filter by CRM branch

3 Click "Save" to save the report or "Save & Work Reports" to save and redirect to reports list
Automatic pre-filling:
If you create a work report from Tasks module, HelpDesk, or another module, the system automatically pre-fills relevant fields (description, CRM link, task).

4.2 Batch Entry

For quick entry of multiple reports for one day, you can use batch entry mode:

1 Click the "Batch Entry" button (if the function is enabled)
2 A form opens with 5 rows for entering different work for the same day. Each row contains all fields like the standard form.
3 You can add more rows with the "Add Row" button
4 After filling, click "Save". The system saves only rows that have required fields filled. Empty rows will be skipped.
Tip: Batch entry is ideal for situations when you worked on multiple orders during one day and want to quickly record all reports at once.

4.3 Editing Existing Report

You can edit a report in two ways:

  • Inline editing: Click directly in the table cell, modify the value, and the change is saved automatically when leaving the field
  • Form editing: Click the pencil icon in the Actions column, the form opens with all fields, make changes and save
Edit permission:
You can only edit reports you have rights to according to set permission (see chapter 2.1). The system automatically checks:

  • If admin-managed orders are enabled, whether you have rights to write to the given order
  • Whether the maximum editing time hasn't elapsed (if set)

4.4 Copying Report

For quick creation of similar report, you can use the copy function:

Click the copy icon in the Actions column. The form opens with pre-filled values from the original report. You can modify needed fields (especially date) and save as new record.

4.5 Deleting Report

If you have deletion permission (rights 15), you can delete the report:

Click the trash icon in the Actions column. The system requires confirmation and then deletes the report (soft delete - remains in database with deleted=1 flag).
Recovering deleted reports:
Users with rights 15 can display deleted reports and restore them. Use the "Show Deleted" filter at the top of the table.

4.6 Working with Attachments

If the attachments function is enabled, you can attach files to reports:

  • Adding attachments: When editing a report, drag files into the DropZone area or click to select files
  • Maximum number of files: 60 files per one report
  • Maximum file size: 100 MB per file
  • Displaying attachments: The table shows a paperclip icon with attachment count. Clicking allows downloading attachments or viewing preview
  • Deleting attachments: When editing a report, you can remove attachments by clicking the cross

4.7 Notes and Change History

The system automatically records change history for each report:

  • Who and when created the report
  • Who and when made a change
  • Which field was changed and original/new value

To add a free note:

Click on the report, open detail, and in the "Notes" section add a new note. The note is saved with date, time, and author name.

7.2 API Limitations and Security

  • RESTAPIHash validity: 5 minutes from login. After expiration, you need to log in again.
  • Rate limiting: Maximum 100 requests per minute per account
  • HTTPS: API is only available over encrypted connection (HTTPS)
  • Permissions: API respects user rights - user only sees data they have access to
  • Logging: All API requests are logged including IP address and timestamp

8. Tips and Tricks

8.1 Efficient Work with Reports

  • Use keyboard shortcuts: Tab to move between fields, Enter to save form
  • Inline editing: For quick correction of small errors, use direct editing in table instead of opening form
  • Batch entry: When working on multiple orders in a day, use batch entry instead of individual forms
  • Copy report: For regularly recurring work, use copying to speed up entry
  • Filters: Set filters before entering a new report - the system remembers them and pre-fills relevant fields

8.2 Mobile Device Optimization

The module is fully responsive and optimized for use on tablets and mobiles:

  • Form automatically adapts to screen width
  • Touch-optimized controls (larger buttons, swipe gestures)
  • Option to use eIntranet mobile app for even faster entry

8.3 Working with Large Data Volumes

When working with thousands of records:

  • Use time filters to limit displayed data (month/year)
  • Utilize DataTables pagination (set number of records per page)
  • For exporting large data, use API instead of manual exports
  • Regularly archive old data (older than 2 years) to separate database

8.4 Automating Repetitive Tasks

Use REST API for automation:

  • Automatic import of reports from external systems (e.g., vehicle GPS tracking)
  • Regular data export to payroll system (e.g., monthly)
  • Integration with time tracking apps (e.g., Toggl, RescueTime)
  • Automatic generation of monthly reports by email

8.5 Using Tariffs for Employee Motivation

Motivation system example:
Set tariffs with different multipliers for employees:
  • Regular Work (multiplier 1.0) - base hourly rate
  • Overtime (multiplier 1.25) - for overtime work +25%
  • Weekend (multiplier 1.5) - for weekend work +50%
  • Night (multiplier 1.75) - for night work +75%
  • Holiday (multiplier 2.0) - for holiday work +100%
In employee overview, you then see total hours multiplied by tariff multipliers, giving you a basis for payroll calculations with bonuses. You bill the customer according to the rate/hour in the tariff.

9. Troubleshooting

9.1 Common Problems and Solutions

Problem Possible Cause Solution
Cannot save report Unfilled required field or no permission Check if all fields marked with asterisk are filled. Check if you have rights to write work for the given employee or to the given order.
Order not showing in list Order is inactive or you don't have permission to use it If using admin-managed orders, check with administrator if you have access to the given order. If using Orders module, check if order is active and meets filters (priority).
Cannot select date older than X days Administrator set limitation on days back Contact administrator if you need to enter older date. Administrators are not limited and can enter any date.
Not seeing colleagues' reports Insufficient rights (level 1 - own work only) Contact administrator for rights increase. To see colleagues' reports, you need at least rights level 3 or 5.
Attachments not loading Problem with DropZone or file size Check file size (max 100 MB) and file count (max 60). Try refreshing page and re-uploading attachments.
XML export failing Incorrect data format or missing field Check if all required fields are filled for all exported records. Try exporting smaller amount of data (e.g., only 1 month).
API returns 401 Unauthorized error Invalid RESTAPIHash or expired validity RESTAPIHash is valid only 5 minutes. Log in again via /RestAPI/Login and get new hash.
Inline editing not working JavaScript error or ad blocker Check browser console (F12) for JavaScript errors. Try disabling ad blocking or use different browser.

9.2 Data Integrity Check

If you suspect data inconsistencies:

1 Go to statistics and check total hour sums for the month
2 Compare with Excel export - sums must be identical
3 If you find differences, check filters - you probably have a filter set that limits displayed data
4 If problem persists, contact administrator with exact problem description and screenshots

9.3 Recovering Accidentally Deleted Reports

If you have rights 15:

1 At the top of the table, check the "Show Deleted" checkbox
2 The table will show all deleted records (highlighted in red)
3 For the desired record, click the restore icon
4 The record is restored and appears again in the standard list

10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I report work for a colleague who is on vacation?

A: Yes, if you have rights level 10 or 15, you can report work for anyone. If you have level 3, you can report work only for selected users (set by administrator).

Q: What does the employee multiplier mean for tariffs?

A: The multiplier is used for payroll calculations. If an employee works 8 hours in a tariff with multiplier 1.5, in the employee overview they are credited with 8 x 1.5 = 12 hours. However, the customer is billed according to rate/hour, so e.g., 8 hours x 750 CZK = 6000 CZK.

Q: Why is some order not showing in the list?

A: There can be several reasons: 1) If using admin-managed orders, you don't have access to the given order. 2) If using Orders module, order may be inactive or doesn't meet filters (priority). 3) If using free entry, order doesn't exist yet and must be entered manually.

Q: How do I set up automatic report completion reminders?

A: In module settings (tab "General Settings"), set "Alert if nothing filled going back" to desired number of days (e.g., 3). Also set alert type (Email/SMS) and condition (always or only if at work). The system then checks daily at 6:00 PM and sends alerts.

Q: Can I use the module for customer billing?

A: The module primarily serves for work recording, not invoicing. However, you can use the PDF form for customer confirmation of performed work and then issue an invoice in the Issued Invoices module. When entering an invoice, you can draw data from work reports (hours, prices).

Q: How do I export data for payroll system?

A: Use "Overview by Employees" mode, set desired month and employee, and export to Excel or XML. In Excel, you'll find for each employee total hours in individual tariffs including multiplied hours (with multipliers). You can use this data for payroll calculations.

Q: Why don't optional fields show in the form?

A: Optional fields must first be configured by administrator in module settings (tab "Optional Fields"). If configured but not showing, check if you have JavaScript blocker disabled in browser.

Q: Can I permanently delete a report?

A: No, the system uses "soft delete" - records are only marked as deleted (deleted=1), but not physically deleted. This is to maintain data integrity and enable recovery. If you need to permanently delete data (e.g., for GDPR reasons), contact system administrator.

Q: How does batch entry work?

A: In batch entry, a form opens with 5 rows (you can add more). All rows share the same date and employee. Each row can have different order, time, description, etc. When saving, only rows with required fields filled (typically order and time) are saved. Empty rows are skipped.

Q: Why am I not receiving report completion reminders even though I have it enabled?

A: Check the following: 1) Are you in the exceptions list? (Settings > Except Users). 2) Do you have rights to write reports? (rights > 0). 3) Is condition set to "Only if at work that day" and you weren't at work? 4) Do you have correct email address in profile?
