Hey Simon,
I’d be glad to help.

First off I found this thread very helpful while I was building out he structure. The user hanan1’s replies answered most of my questions.

Time sheet to log what time started/finished work

Hello, I’m currently struggling to make simple time sheet to record what time workers start/finish work for internal system. What I am intending to make is the time sheet which every workers can record their time by pushing button, and also admins page which administrator can chceck workers condition. There are 2 problems I am facing. 1, I don’t know what kinda data type I should use to record each workers time, I tried to combine with user data type but I couldn’t create a new thing using use…

For my Data structure I have 3 Data Types, Users, Projects, and Timesheets.

The Timesheets Type has fields User, Clock In Time, Clock Out Time, Project, and Total Hours

For the Workflows I have this for the Clock in Button.
Step 1: Create a new thing, Type Timesheets

Step 2: Make changes to a thing. Current User Clock In Flag. (this is so i can display a message like "You are currently Clocked In/Out)

Step 3: Display Data

Then for the Clock Out button.
Step 1: Make changes to a thing

Step 2: Make changes to a thing (this has to be a separate step)
Thing to change: Parent group’s Timesheets
Total Hours = This Timesheets’s Clock Out Time:rounded down to minute - This Timesheets’s Clock In Time:format as hours

For the groups that the buttons are in you need to set Type of content to Timesheets, and Data source to Search for Timesheetss:last item

Then it should have all of the data in the same row and calculate the total hours.

Hope that helps!
