# Use Work Order Capture During Mobile Clock In/Out

Use Work Order Capture to enter or scan a Project Number and Work Order Number when clocking in from the mobile app.

## Before you begin

- Your organization must have Work Order Capture enabled and configured.
- Your Reporting Hours rule must use **Mobile Clock In/Out**.
- Barcode scanning is available only if it is enabled by your administrator.

## Clock in with Work Order Capture

1. Open the WorkEasy mobile app.
2. Tap **Clock In**.
3. On the Work Order Capture screen, tap **Scan Barcode** and scan the barcode or manually enter the **Project Number** and/or **Work Order Number**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-DSF7P9KY.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T13%3A19%3A43Z&se=2026-11-01T14%3A19%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6M2Ofm0gh8u%2FFS4hM4nt3q7OnBSQar6dDAyY%2FHvAWwM%3D)
4. Review the values. **Project Number** values can be edited before continuing.
5. Tap **Continue**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-XVRSUFDE.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T13%3A19%3A43Z&se=2026-11-01T14%3A19%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6M2Ofm0gh8u%2FFS4hM4nt3q7OnBSQar6dDAyY%2FHvAWwM%3D)
6. A confirmation displays that the operation was successful. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-Z2USF4VH.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T13%3A19%3A43Z&se=2026-11-01T14%3A19%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6M2Ofm0gh8u%2FFS4hM4nt3q7OnBSQar6dDAyY%2FHvAWwM%3D)

## If Work Order Capture is required

You must enter or scan at least one value before you can continue. The **Continue** button remains disabled until a **Project Number** or **Work Order Number** is entered.

## If Work Order Capture is optional

You can enter values or tap **Skip Selection** to continue without adding a **Project Number** or **Work Order Number**. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/88d7ebef-752e-45d9-95e1-ee13bd7279c5/Images/Documentation/image-J7PZKPSH.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-01T13%3A19%3A43Z&se=2026-11-01T14%3A19%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=6M2Ofm0gh8u%2FFS4hM4nt3q7OnBSQar6dDAyY%2FHvAWwM%3D)

## How barcode scanning fills the fields

| Scanned value | Result |
| --- | --- |
| `132435:1245` | Project Number is **132435** and Work Order Number is **1245**. |
| `132435` | Project Number is **132435**. Work Order Number remains blank. |
| `132435:1245:999` | Project Number is **132435** and Work Order Number is **1245**. Additional values are ignored. |

## Character limit

**Project Number** and **Work Order Number** each allow up to 25 characters. If a scanned or typed value is longer than 25 characters, shorten the value before continuing.

## Transfers

When you transfer to a new work order, the Work Order Capture screen appears again. Enter or scan the values for the new time segment.

## Returning from break

When returning from break, choose one of the following options:

- **Continue Previous** keeps the previous Project Number and Work Order Number.
- **Start New Work Order** opens the Work Order Capture screen so you can enter or scan new values.
