   ClockedIn 2 for iPad is based on ClockedIn 2 and while it may seem similar, we've invested time and effort into creating a user experience that is optimized for the iPad.

3. Will the timer keep track of time even when I'm not in ClockedIn 2 for iPad?
   Yes. You can even turn your iPad off and it will still track the elapsed time of a task.

4. Can I edit the start and/or end times of tasks?
   Yes. You can edit the date and times of tasks.

   Yes. In addition to HTML formatted reports, you also have the option of sending an attached CSV file of the report.

6. Can I sync ClockedIn 2 for iPad to my calendar?
   ClockedIn 2 for iPad supports the ability to push completed timed tasks to a calendar in your iOS calendar app. Completed tasks can either be pushed automatically or manually. Just set the project's "Pushes to calendar" setting to "On", then select the calendar and whether to push automatically or not. There's more information about this feature on our "Calendar Push" page.

7. When configuring Calendar Push, what does "pushes automatically" mean?
   If set to "YES", all tasks will be pushed to your calendar when they are complete (have a start and end time). When set to "NO", you manually push them by editing each timed task you wanted pushed. Once you set a timed task to push it will always update the calendar event if you edit it.

8. Does ClockedIn support timing concurrent tasks?
   No, ClockedIn can only time one task at a time.

9. What do the various system settings do?
   The system settings, found in the Settings app, allow you to customize the behavior of ClockedIn 2 for iPad. Please see our "Settings" page for a complete explanation of the options.

10. How do I enter completed tasks into ClockedIn 2 for iPad (tasks I didn't time)?
    There are a couple of ways to do this. The easiest way is to go to the day that the task was performed in the day view and triple tap on an empty area in the hour listing. This will present you with an "Add Task" view. Just set the tasks information and save.
    
    If the day that you want to create the completed task for doesn't exist, tap on the "Day" button, which will present you with a calendar, then tap on the day for the task. Confirm that you want to add a completed timed task for the day and you'll be presented with the "Add Task" view to add the task with.
    
    The other way to add a completed task is in the project view. Use the "Add Completed Task" button (the button with the checkmark and the plus sign) on the toolbar.

11. How do I delete a day and all its tasks?
    

    From the day view, tap on the "Day" button then tap on the "List" button to get a list of all the days with timed tasks. Tapping on the edit button will display a delete button for each day. Tap the delete button for the day you want to delete, confirm the delete and the day will be deleted.

12. How do I backup my ClockedIn 2 data?
    

    ClockedIn 2 and ClockedIn 2 for iPad rely upon iTunes for all data backup and restore functions. Everytime you sync your iPad to iTunes, iTunes performs a backup of your application data. Restoring from your backups is also handled by iTunes. More information about backing up and restoring your iPad can be found on Apple's website.

13. Can I sync ClockedIn 2 on my iPhone with ClockedIn 2 for iPad?
    No. Unfortunately this feature is not currently available.

14. ClockedIn 2 for iPad would be great if it would just do... How do I make a feature request?

Version 1.30 - October 1, 2018.

• Updated for compatibility with newer releases of iOS. This app now requires iOS 8 and above.

• Minor UI bug fixes.

Version 1.20 - November 13, 2017.

• Addressed an issue, on iOS 11, where dates are not formatted using the iPad's preferred language setting but instead are formatted to ClockedIn's default locale, English (US). This changes ClockedIn's date formatting behavior, on iOS 11, to be the same as previous versions of iOS.

• Added a setting, "Date Format", that will configure ClockedIn to ignore the iPad's preferred language setting and use English (US) as the date format. This addresses the case where some users may want to ignore their preferred language setting and force ClockedIn to use the English (US) date format. The setting can be found in the Settings app.

• Resolves compatibility issues with iOS 11.

Version 1.18 - March 21, 2017.

  In some cases, identically named projects and/or customers would not aggregate their totals under one line item but instead would be displayed as multiple line items on the totals views and reports. This version fixes the issue so that project totals will always be aggregated and displayed as one line item even if the project name is identical to another project name.

  To create an archive, use the "Database" option in ClockedIn 2 settings, then launch ClockedIn 2. This will create an email and attach the current ClockedIn 2 database archive.
