Troubleshooting & FAQ

How far forward can I copy work logs?

Work logs can be copied up to one week forward from the original date.

Does copying a work log also copy attachments?

No. Only the work log details (company, workers, hours, description) are copied. Add relevant photos to the new entry separately.

Can I copy time cards the same way?

Yes. Raken also supports copying time cards using the same process — navigate to the date, tap the copy option, select entries, and choose your destination date.
