How to Use the Live Status Dashboard in the Friday Mobile App (Employer Guide) #

The Live Status Dashboard allows employers to monitor employee activity in real time—including who is currently working, on break, clocked out, or has not clocked in at all. This guide covers how to navigate the live status dashboard, interpret timers, refresh data, and view deeper details for each employee.

Accessing the Live Status Dashboard #

Step 1: Open the Friday Mobile App #

• Log into your employer account.

Step 2: Navigate to Live Status #

• By default, the Home screen displays the Live Status Dashboard.
• If you’re not seeing it:

– Tap Live Status in the bottom navigation bar.

This opens the real-time list of employee statuses.

Understanding the Live Status Lists #

The dashboard contains four tabs, which you can access by swiping left and right or by tapping the tabs at the top of the page:

Working #

• Shows all employees currently clocked in.
• Each employee displays a live timer indicating how long they’ve been working.

On Break #

• Shows employees currently on lunch or break.
• Includes a timer for how long they’ve been on break.

Clocked Out #

• Displays employees who have clocked out today.
• Shows the time they clocked out.

No Show #

• Shows employees who have not clocked in today.
• Also shows the last time they clocked in—e.g., “Last seen 22 days ago.”

Switching Between Timer Formats #

For employees currently working or on break:

• Tap the live timer to switch it to showing the exact clock-in time.
• Tap again to switch back to the live timer mode.

This works the same way in both the Working and On Break lists.

Refreshing Live Status Data #

If the data looks outdated or employees appear in the wrong category:

• Swipe down on the screen to refresh the lists.

This forces the app to reload all real-time status data.

Viewing Detailed Status Information for an Employee #

To see deeper detail:

1. Tap any employee in the Live Status list.

You will see:

Employee Timeline #

• A full timeline of:

– When the employee clocked in
– When they started break(s)
– When they returned to work
– When they clocked out

Daily Totals #

• Total hours worked
• Total break/lunch time
• Overtime (if applicable)

Clock-In Locations #

• Map or location data showing where the employee clocked in/out.

Accessing the Full Time Sheet #

If you want to dive deeper:

• Tap the employee’s name at the top of the details page.
• This opens their detailed Time Sheet, allowing you to review their full daily and pay-period activity.
