Add a worker

A worker is a person who can be assigned to projects and record their working time in the Presenco mobile app.

  1. In the admin portal, open Workers.
  2. Select New worker.
  3. Enter the worker’s first name and last name. Both fields are required.
  4. If needed, add an email address and worker number as an internal reference.

Configure mobile app access

Enable Mobile app access enabled when the worker needs to check in and out using their phone.

  1. Enter the worker’s phone number. It is required when mobile access is enabled.
  2. Create a 6-digit mobile PIN.
  3. Enter the PIN again in the confirmation field.

Important: the worker signs in to the mobile app using their phone number and PIN. They do not use the admin portal email address and password.

If the worker does not need the mobile app, disable this option. A PIN is not required in that case.

Assign projects

Under Project assignments, choose the job sites or workplaces where the worker should be able to work.

  • Select Add project for each assignment.
  • Choose the relevant project.
  • Use Valid from and Valid to when the assignment should apply only for a specific period.
  • Leave the dates empty when the assignment has no defined period.

Assignments are particularly important when a project restricts check-in to selected workers only.

Save and share access

Review the summary and select Create worker. A new worker is created as active. Inactive workers cannot sign in or record attendance.

Share the phone number and PIN with the worker through a secure channel. Do not send the PIN in a group or display it publicly.
