TimePilot iPhone App

Linking the iPhone App to TimePilot Central with Dropbox

There may come a time when you want to send the employee clock-in and clock-out data collected by your iPhone to another person. For example, you might want to send the data to your headquarters, where a co-worker is using the TimePilot Central software to prepare employee time data for payroll.

The app has been designed to work with Dropbox.com, a free service that allows you to send files easily over the Internet. You’ll need three things to do this:

1. An internet connection on the PC that runs TimePilot Central.
2. An account with Dropbox on the PC that runs TimePilot Central. See the Dropbox web site (www.Dropbox.com) for details on creating an account.
3. The free Dropbox App on your iPhone.

Once you have the Dropbox account created on your computer, here’s how to set things up on your iPhone:

1. Start the TimePilot iPhone App and tap "Settings" in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Then tap the "Dropbox Setup" button. Tap the "Link to Dropbox Account" button in the view that appears.
   
   
   • If you have the Dropbox app already installed on your iPhone, you will be taken to that app and asked if you want to link the TimePilot app to your Dropbox account. Generally you’ll click "Yes," but if you want to use a different Dropbox account, tap the "Change" button to enter the info for the other account.
     
     
   • If you don't have the Dropbox app installed, you will be taken to a web page that will ask you to sign in to your Dropbox account. If you don't have a Dropbox account there is an option to create one. Follow the screen prompts to create the account and link it.
     
     
2. Once you are successfully linked, you will be taken back to the TimePilot app and notified that the link was successful.
