Glossary¶
The terms used in Rillsoft Connect and in this help, in alphabetical order.
- Approval¶
The confirmation of a reported time by an authorized person, usually the team lead. In the app partly labeled “Confirm” or “Release”. Your administration decides who may approve whose times through permissions and the organization chart in Rillsoft Integration Server.
- Approval view¶
The sheet that opens from the bottom when you tap the turquoise hours field of a task card. It shows planned time and reported time per person and day and the ticks for approving.
- Automatic approval¶
A setting of the tenant: reports that match the plan are confirmed right away. See Automatic approval.
- Backlog¶
Planned hours up to and including today that have not been reported yet. Shown on the card as an orange field with a clock.
- Confirmed¶
A reported time that has been approved — by an authorized person or automatically. Recognizable by two ticks ✓✓. Confirmed times are locked and can no longer be changed in the app.
- Document list¶
The photos and files of a task. You open it with the blue column on the right of the task card.
- Offline¶
Without network connection. The app then keeps working with the data on the device; reports wait until there is network again.
- Plan board¶
The project plan as a table and time bars on the tablet, for the project lead.
- Planned time¶
The planned working time of a person on a task on a day — the planned value. It comes from the project plan and does not change in the app.
- Project¶
An undertaking, such as a construction project. It consists of tasks.
- Remaining effort¶
The work still to be done on a task, in hours. Shown on the card as Open. You can report it yourself if you expect more or less than the plan says.

The working time someone reports in the app — the actual time. It stands next to the planned time and does not replace it.
- Shift¶
A continuous block of work on a day with a start and an end, such as 08:00 to 12:00. A day often has two shifts around the break.

- Sync counter¶
The icon with the circular arrows in the top bar. The number next to it gives the changes that are not on the server yet.
