The large digit display is the time sent from the Home site. There will be a small transmission delay in receiving the time signal from the server.

The current status (IN or OUT) is displayed with the associated date and time. A new user with no clock In or Out history will show IN/OUT as greyed out.

Once the request has completed, the IN/OUT status will update.

The period displayed can be changed by touching the "Edit timesheet" item.

If the From date is set to a date later than the To date, the To date is automatically set to the same date.
