# Register hours in the app

Employees can register hours in two ways:

* directly on a work order
* separately through **Timesheets** in the app

{% hint style="warning" %}
Does an employee not see **Timesheets** in the app? Then check whether **Time Sheet enabled** is turned on in that employee’s app settings.
{% endhint %}

## Register hours on a work order

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the work order

Open the correct work order in the app.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Start the timer

Click **Start** when you begin.

Choose whether you register **travel time** or **working time**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Stop and check the time

Stop the timer when you are done.

You can still adjust the details afterward.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Check the registered blocks

A workday can, for example, consist of:

* 30 minutes travel time to the location
* 8 hours working time
* 30 minutes travel time back
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Complete the work order

Add materials, forms, or photos where needed.

Then click **Sign and send**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

After sending, the hours arrive in the BackOffice automatically.

### Register separate hours, expenses, and mileage

Not all time belongs to a work order.

Use **Timesheets** for activities such as:

* internal meetings
* administrative work
* warehouse work

Through the same entry point, you also register **expenses** and **mileage**.

### What you see in the BackOffice

Open the work order in the BackOffice and look under **Work periods**.

There you see which hours were sent along.

The icons show whether hours are visible on:

* the work order
* the invoice

Click the icons to adjust this visibility.

### Synchronization with work orders

Time Sheets works directly with work orders.

This lets you:

* take over hours automatically
* see the synchronization status
* adjust it manually if needed

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/marketplace-packages-and-power-ups/power-ups/timesheets/register-hours-in-the-app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
