Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Navigate to Time Cards
Log into the Raken web app. Click Time in the left navigation, then click Time cards. You'll see four views: Summary, Grid, Entries, and Timesheets.
Step 2: Choose Your View
Summary — pay-period overview of every employee's total hours, broken down by pay type (RT, OT, DT). Shows approval status, signature status, payroll notes, and attachments. Use this for the big picture before approving time for payroll.
Grid — each employee's hours day by day across the selected week. Use this to spot days with no hours logged or unexpected totals. Use the + button on any row to add a time card directly.
Entries — every individual time card entry grouped by employee: date, project, cost code, start time, end time, breaks, total, status, pay type. Use this for detailed line-by-line review. Click the ellipsis (...) on any entry to edit or delete it.
Timesheets — a historical list of pay periods. Select any pay period to review or export historical timesheet data.
Step 3: Set the Date Range
Use the date picker to select the time frame. View by Day, Week, Month, or Pay period. Use the forward and back arrows to navigate between periods.
Step 4: Filter the View
Click Filters to narrow results. Available filters include Project, Members, Employee groups, Employee classifications, Status, Pay types, Shifts, and Cost codes. On the Grid view, toggle Show employees with no hours to surface employees with zero time for the week. Click Apply, or Clear all to reset.
Step 5: Add a Time Card
Click the orange + Time card button from any view. Select Project, Crew (optional), Employee, Date, Start time, End time, and Cost code. Click Save.
Step 6: Edit or Delete a Time Card
From the Entries view, click any entry to open it, or click the ellipsis (...) and select Edit or Delete. Approved time cards are locked — unapprove first if corrections are needed.
Step 7: Download a Report
Click the download icon in the top right. Export options vary by view:
Summary / Entries: Time card by worker CSV · Time card by worker PDF · Foundation Software CSV · Summary CSV
Grid: CSV export
Apply filters before downloading to scope the export to specific employees, projects, or date ranges.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Why do I see a warning banner about multiple time policies?
The banner — "Employees have used multiple time policies in the week" — appears when employees have time cards governed by more than one Time Policy in the same pay period. Click Filter to see employees to identify who is affected and review their entries manually before approving.
Why can't I edit a time card?
Approved time cards are locked. Go to Summary > Bulk actions > Unapprove all (or Unapprove selected) to unlock. Regular employees cannot unapprove their own time cards.
Can I see time cards from a specific project only?
Yes. Use Filters and select the project.
What's the difference between Summary and Entries?
Summary shows one row per employee with pay period totals. Entries shows every individual time card — multiple rows per person. Use Summary for the big picture; Entries for line-by-line detail.
Can Project Administrators see all time cards?
No. Project Administrators can only see time cards for employees on their assigned projects. Account Administrators have full visibility across all projects.
