HOURNEXA USER GUIDE · 08 / 09

Make the defaults fit your work

Use the settings menu on the home screen to change recording defaults, document options and extra copies of your exports.

Weekly hours and rounding

First day of week changes how the weekly screen groups dates. Saved entries keep their original dates.

Hours presets supplies the two quick-entry buttons beside each day. Select a preset to edit its value, then save it. Presets fill the input; remember to save the week after using them.

Round automatic hours chooses an interval from 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 minutes. Always round down chooses rounding down instead of the nearest interval.

A task with Override hours rounding uses its own setting. Manual decimal entry is converted to whole minutes separately from these automatic-tracking rules.

Dates, mileage and work locations

SettingWhat to check
Date formatChoose how dates are displayed. It does not move the entries to different dates.
Mileage unitUsed for driving distances and the mileage rate. Changing this unit keeps the entered numbers unchanged; it does not convert them. Recheck distances and rate when switching units.
Mileage rateYour price per mileage unit. Enter the rate appropriate to your work or agreement.
Distance unitControls work-location distance display, separately from mileage claims.
Maximum radiusControls the upper limit available when choosing a work-location radius. It is not your mileage distance.

Save extra cloud copies

Open Cloud storage and choose a destination folder in an available provider. Then enable Save extra cloud copies for that provider. You can use the available providers independently.

  • App picker: browse an accessible folder, or create a new one, and choose Use this folder.
  • Google picker: select an existing folder that the app does not yet have access to.
  • Overwrite same document: replace a cloud file with the same name. When off, the app adds a number such as -1 or -2 instead.

Extra copies are made when you manually create a PDF or ZIP. Creating a report can therefore write a cloud copy even before you share it. Sharing remains available.

Customise document wording

From the report workflow, open Manage translations. Original languages are read-only; add or copy a language to create editable labels. Save the changes and choose that language when generating your next report.

These settings change report headings and shared labels, not the interface language or your client and task names.

Pro and privacy choices

Manage Pro offers an optional subscription to remove advertising. Clients, projects, tasks, hours, reports, backup and both map providers do not require Pro.

The price is shown before subscribing. Use your device’s subscription management to manage or cancel a subscription. Restore purchases is for recognising a previous eligible purchase; it does not restore business records from a ZIP.

Account linking for shared Pro access is optional and separate from time recording. Use Privacy choices in the settings menu for the advertising privacy options available to you. For details about data handling, read the privacy policy.
