QuickBooks Time has been experimenting with a new onboarding process that will begin to go live for all subscribers starting this January. The process involves the use of a unique six-digit code (or QR code) that admins will have the option of sending to onboard their employees.
The code, which is unique to each company, will allow employees to start tracking time as soon as the employee receives the code from the Admin so they can gain access to the QuickBooks Time App for the Company.
Admin users will be able to send the code by:
- Going to My Team
- Selecting the Add team members drop-down
- Selecting Share Company Code
- A QR Code and Alphanumeric code are generated (this code will expire in seven days) [New codes are generated by repeating the process.]
- Provide the Code(s) to your employee in one of these ways:
- Print the code so your employees can scan the code from their phones when they access the app (see below)
- Text or email the code to employees so they have it when they access the app
Setting up the QuickBooks Time App using the New Code
- Download the QuickBooks Time App from the Google Play Store
- Tap Join a company
- Tap Got it when you are asked if you have the Company Code
- Enter your phone number, email or user ID
- Enter your first and last name
- Enter either the Company Code or QR Code
- Once you are logged in to your account, tap Got it again to begin tracking your time
