Apr 28, 2015 at 4:30 comment added DA01 This all seems like something normally given to a Spreadsheet to handle. Perhaps that's the best UI for this?

Apr 27, 2015 at 20:01 comment added stephenz Let me try it like this. A user is entering time on a web form (let's NOT consider if its 1 form or 100). This is for US so they will enter Hours, Minutes and AM/PM. What is the most efficient way for this user to enter time on a desktop with a keyboard? What is the most efficient way for this user to enter time in a web browser on a tablet?
Apr 27, 2015 at 17:22 comment added Devin @Brian I assume this is the classic command scenario used in mail and parcel delivery: there's one (or more) persons doing these "commands" at the beginning of the day or end of previos day, not the entire journey. The again, I'm assuming that, you're correct that there's more info needed
Apr 27, 2015 at 17:22 comment added Brian Additionally, is there any particular reason why they need to enter their time immediately? Could they wait and enter it at the end of the day (or even twice a day) instead?
Apr 27, 2015 at 17:02 comment added bfritz @Brian I'm wondering the same thing... If I had to enter time into any system/app 40x an hour your job title should be changed to "Sr. Time Entry Specialist" I don't think anyone could get any work done with a system like that.
Apr 27, 2015 at 16:58 comment added Brian I'm still not clear on why people would be interacting with this so frequently. Are they being forced (by policy and/or management) to do so?

Pulling details from the comment thread back into the question
Apr 27, 2015 at 16:18 comment added stephenz Is it more efficient to enter time on a keyboard and tab thru the fields or use some kind of a time picker (or both) on the web on a desktop? Is a time picker more efficient on mobile? In both cases I am talking about a web app (in a browser) and not a native mobile app.
Apr 27, 2015 at 16:09 comment added stephenz This is for scheduling and task tracking. A manager will create weekly schedules for 100s of employees. They will enter in and out times for employees. Task Tracking will involve daily task completion with time and reassignment with due date/time.

Apr 27, 2015 at 15:39 comment added DA01 We need a whole lot more information here. What kind of time? What's the context? Is this a time sheet? Multiple time entries at a time or just one? What are they accessing 40 times an hour?
Apr 27, 2015 at 15:05 comment added Frank Visaggio More information about the use case would be helpful, this is one problem but i don't think its the only problem with the system. And maybe solving a bigger problem can ease this one.
