Suggestion: Add a setting in the Organizations application where we can prevent WOs from being closed if the WO doesn’t have actuals. For bonus points, add a WO where clause so that we can specify exceptions to the rule. I know this can be done vi...

Approve labor actuals right in WOTRACK

It would be helpful if we could approve labor actuals right in WOTRACK. It's not possible to do that, since the "Approved?" checkbox is read-only in WOTRACK. There isn't a way to make the "Approved?" field editable via Application Designer. Screen...

Start/Stop timer for tasks

In WOTRACK and Quick reporting: It would be helpful if there were a start/stop timer for tasks that workers could use to easily start and stop their task labor actuals (with the click of a button). It would be more efficient to use a timer than ma...
