Your day in the Ops Module

Everything the Lab & Ops team needs, on one page. See the tasks assigned to you, work them one at a time, and log your time — it replaces Asana + Toggl with a single tool built for your phone.

The big idea: clock in, and your time is counted. Press Switch as you move between jobs so the hours also show what you worked on. Your logged time is your timesheet — it feeds payroll automatically, whether or not every minute is attributed.

1 Signing in

First time — set your own password

  1. Chris sends you an invite. Look for an email from Avasol saying you’ve been invited to create a user on ops.avasol.com. Don’t see it? Check spam.
  2. Tap the link, choose your own password, and you’re in.

After that — signing in

  1. On your phone or computer, go to ops.avasol.com.
  2. Sign in with your Avasol email and the password you set.
  3. Forgot it? Tap “Forgot password?”, enter your email, and you’ll get a reset link. You can also change your password anytime from your account menu.

2 My Tasks — your queue

When you sign in you land on My Tasks — your list, already sorted so the most important task is at the top. You work top-down.

  • Tasks are grouped by when they’re due — Do today, Do next week, and so on.
  • A red due date means it’s overdue — do those first.
  • Tap any task to open it.
Prefer a calendar? Tap the Calendar tab to see your tasks laid out by due date — tap a day to see what’s due, then tap a task to open it. It’s the same tasks as your list, just by date.
▶ Start worklist

The one-tap way to begin: opens your top-priority task, ready to work. Already timing? It reads “Resume worklist” and jumps you back.

Making your own task

You can add a task yourself with + New task. One rule: a due date is required — the form won’t save without one. If you’re not sure, put your best estimate; it can be changed later.

  • Only when creating. Editing an existing task that never had a due date still saves fine — you won’t be forced to invent one.
  • The due date is what sorts your list into Do today / Do next week, which is why it matters.

3 Starting your day — Clock in

At the top of My Tasks there’s a Clock in button. Press it when you arrive — you don’t have to decide what you’re working on yet.

  • Clock in once at the start of your day. The clock starts running straight away.
  • Press Switch on a task whenever you start working on it — as often as you like through the day.
  • Clock out once when you finish.
Time before you pick a task still counts. If you clock in at 8 and don’t switch to anything until 8:20, those 20 minutes are yours — they show up as Unallocated. You’re paid for your time either way; switching just records what the time went on.

Only “Clock out” ends your day. Neither completing a task nor pausing does — your clock keeps running so you’re still paid between jobs and on short breaks.Don’t forget to clock out. A timer left running overnight will look like a very long shift and has to be corrected by hand. If you realise the next morning, tell Chris or Anikka rather than trying to patch it yourself.

4 Working a task — the traffic lights

Open a task and you’ll see a big timer with large buttons. They work like traffic lights:

Start / ResumeGreen · go

Starts the clock on this task.

PauseAmber · still on the clock

Stops timing this task for a break or an interruption. You stay clocked in and you stay paid — the time just isn’t attached to a task until you press Start or Switch on the next one.

CompleteGreen · done

Marks the task done. Your day keeps running — the time moves to Unallocated until you Switch to the next job.

The big timer shows your total time on this task — it keeps counting across breaks in your work on it, so coming back to a task later never resets its total.

Changing task is one tap. Once you’re clocked in, the button on every task reads Start while you’re not on anything yet, and Switch once you are. Either way it’s one press: the clock stops where it was and starts here at the same instant — no gap, nothing lost. You never need to pause first.

Only one timer runs at a time, which is why your hours can never be double-counted. Three things you can do, and only one of them ends your day:
Switch — carrying on, just on something else.
Pause — a break or an interruption. You stay clocked in and paid.
Clock out (top bar) — finished for the day. Nothing is recorded after it until you clock back in.

Finish and move on

✓ Complete & Next

Finishes this task and jumps straight to the next one. Your clock keeps running — press Switch here on the task it opens. Your main button for working through the day.

Next Task →

Skips to the next task without completing this one — come back to it later.

All caught up 🎉

When your queue is empty, you’ll see “You’re all caught up.”

5 Notes — say what happened

Every task has a Notes area. Use it for anything worth remembering — a deviation, a problem, an observation, “used lot 240712 instead.”

  • Shared — everyone on the task can see them.
  • Permanent — they’re a log, so add a new one rather than editing or deleting.
  • Stamped with your name and the time, automatically.

6 Your time & timesheet

You don’t do anything special for payroll — your logged time is your timesheet.

  • Everything from Clock in to Clock out builds your hours for the pay period — including any time not yet attributed to a task.
  • Missed starting the timer? You can add time manually for a task.
  • At the end of the period your supervisor reviews and approves your hours, flagging anything that looks off first.
You generally won’t touch the approval screens — those are for supervisors. Your job is to keep the timer honest: clock in when you arrive, Switch as you move between jobs, and Clock out when you leave.

7 Quick tips
