Before recording attendance
Sign in to the Presenco app with your phone number and PIN. On the Home screen, always check:
- that the correct company appears under your name;
- that the status says Not working;
- that the correct project is selected;
- that phone location is enabled and permitted for Presenco.
If several projects are assigned to you, open the Project list and search for the work site by name. The address shown below the project helps prevent an incorrect selection.
Important: the project can be changed only before you start work. After starting, it remains connected to the current work session.
Start work
- Select the project where you are going to work.
- Check the message below the project. It indicates whether location checking is required.
- Tap Start Work.
- Wait for the action to finish and do not tap the button repeatedly.
- Confirm that the status changes to Working and the start time appears.
Presenco records the phone time, project, and available location. If the project uses an allowed location area, you must be close enough to the project address.
The new entry also appears under Today, showing the start time, now, and the project name.
Start a break
When your status is Working:
- Tap Start Break.
- Wait for the action to finish.
- Confirm that the status changes to On break and the break start time appears.
The work session remains linked to the same project. You do not need to select the project again, and it cannot be changed during the break.
Resume work
When your status is On break:
- Tap Resume Work.
- Wait for confirmation from the app.
- Confirm that the status changes back to Working.
The break receives an end time and Presenco continues the same working day on the active project. You can repeat the break/resume cycle when more than one break is needed.
End work
At the end of your working day:
- Check that the displayed project matches your active session.
- Tap End Work.
- Wait until the status returns to Not working.
- Check Today and confirm that the start and end times are present.
End Work is also available while you are on a break. Use it only if your working day genuinely ends during that break. Presenco then closes the active session; you do not need to select Resume Work first.
Do not end work merely to change breaks. Resume work, then start a new break at the appropriate time.
Understand today’s records
The Today section displays records in chronological order:
- Work with its start and end time;
- Break with its start and end time;
- now while a record is still open;
- the project to which the working time belongs.
Open History to review previous days, net working time, and the total break duration.
If an action does not work
- Project required: select a project before starting work.
- Location denied: allow Presenco to use location while the app is in use.
- Outside the allowed area: check the project and move closer to the work site.
- Weak GPS signal: enable location, wait a few seconds, or move outdoors.
- No internet connection: restore connectivity and check the status before trying again.
- Prolonged loading: do not tap repeatedly. Use the refresh icon to reload the current status.
If a time is incorrect or you forgot an action, contact your supervisor. Do not create additional records to compensate for a mistake; an administrator can review and correct the record in the portal.
