Tracking Employee Time with Softr

How to Build a Time Tracking System Without Coding Knowledge

Time tracking in organizations can often be cumbersome and inefficient. With traditional methods like spreadsheets, timesheets often get lost, things don't tally up, or worse, payments are delayed. You might be wondering if there's another way. A way that makes tracking time far smoother and simpler. The answer is yes—and the good news is, it doesn't require a single line of code!

If you're looking for an efficient and centralized system for your staff to log in, enter their time and see it all consolidated on the back-end, this article is for you. Best of all, this solution doesn't utilize spreadsheets or even need any coding knowledge. Harnessing the power of no-code tools, let's dive in to understand how you can unlock this potential for your organization.

The Power of No-code Applications

No-code applications are the game-changer in the tech world. They allow you to design systems and devices without the expertise of a programmer or a developer. These applications let you build highly granular software where access and permissions can be intricately designed, even if you don't know how to code.

For instance, a no-code app like Softr offers an array of templates that can be readily installed into your account. These templates can be linked to various datasets like HubSpot, SmartSuite and even Airtable, which we will delve into shortly.

The Template To Your Rescue

Using Softr's specially designed time tracking template, you can solve your team's time tracking nightmares and get tasks done much more quickly. Installing the template is as simple as logging in, selecting your data source and granting the necessary access. After a few, straightforward clicks, you can create not just the back-end database but also the front-end of your time tracking app swiftly.

This process will yield an easy-to-use app that your users—employees or contractors—can log into and submit their time seamlessly. The template also allows you to add or edit any elements, giving you complete control over the end look and functionality of the app.

The Versatile Application Experience

The real magic of the no-code time tracking solution comes alive with its diverse application versions for different team members. Each group sees only the data that is relevant to their role and the grading of permissions and access to data is such that there is no room for confusion or conflict.

For example, an employee can log in only to see active time sheets for their assigned projects, keeping things clean and relevant. They can track hours, modify them, add new tasks easily and quickly.

However, a supervisor gets to see an entirely different setup upon login. Supervisors can see all the employees, all the time entries, all the projects and clients— basically having a bird's eye view of the entire time tracking system in your organization.

In Conclusion

This special no-code template for time tracking is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential of no-code tools. In the hands of organizational leaders, these tools can transform operations and take productivity to the next level.
