Time Sheets in Glass Factory
We have created a few different ways to enter in your time, because let's face it, no one likes to do Time Sheets. From your profile screen or your Profile management widget on the upper right you can select from the following:
GF Time Tracker
Time Sheet
Time Report
Each of these methods support full entry of time and comments, we recommend the GF Time Tracker (a desktop app) so you can easily do timesheets without needing to log-in to the website.
Glass Factory Time Tracker
Glass Factory designed a desktop app to make Time Tracking effortless. From your profile picture on the upper right, click the down arrow and then click "GF Time Tracker".
The Time Tracker will start to download automatically.
Once you have the time tracker .zip file downloaded (look in your downloads folder) install the application to your computer and you will see the Glass Factory logo on your status bar (Mac Only).
To access the desktop app you'll need to log in to your Glass Factory account, click the GF logo icon and the login screen will appear.
Enter your username and password as you defined it when first logging into Glass Factory.
