Need to Capture time in a field when clicked in the field

[vmanda]

Good Morning. New Day New question.

I have a field called ‘Shift Start’ - the idea is for the user to tap on that field or click in that field and the time at the time of the click is captured into that field. I hvae configured that table/field as time.

Thoughts?

On a related note - I think I may not be solving the problem the right way.

I have a need to capture mulitple ‘times’ - a daily time record. I have today’s date, Shift Start,m Shift End, Lunch Start , Lunch End etc. How do I ensure one record is created for a staff ( logged in user ) and that one recrod is updated throughout the day?

You should configure a button that writes the current date/time to the “Shift Start” field.

Same approach for other buttons, with multiple fields to store as needed.

I think you should just have one record per day for each employee, and multiple columns for each record.
