New:
Fund your Workyard Business Checking account directly from the Workyard app.Customers can now securely connect their external bank account and transfer funds into their Workyard Business Checking account without needing to log into their bank separately.
🔗 What’s new
You can now:
- Securely connect your bank account using Plaid
- Transfer funds directly in-app using ACH
- Choose the amount to transfer and fund your account in a few steps
💡 Why this matters
Previously, customers needed to log into their external bank to push funds to their Workyard account. This sometimes caused delays or required costly wire transfers.
With in-app funding you can:
- Fund your account faster after approval
- Avoid switching between banking apps
- Reduce the need for wire transfers
- Easily fund even if your bank doesn’t support sending to Workyard’s routing number
🛠️ How it works
- Navigate to your Workyard Expense account via the Expenses menu in the Workyard Web app
- Select the Account tab
- Select Fund your account
- Connect your external bank securely via Plaid
- Enter the amount you want to transfer
- Confirm the transfer
- Funds will be transferred via ACH from your connected bank account
Note
: You can decide which Expense Admins can have access to the funding experience via the "Access & Permissions" tab in the Expense menu.new
Smart Forms
New: Edit Smart Forms Submissions
Sometimes a worker submits a form with missing or wrong info. And suddenly you're in a spreadsheet, fixing it manually, before you can share it anywhere. Not ideal.
The good news? That extra step is gone. Admins can now edit Smart Forms submissions directly in Workyard.
What's new:
- Edit text fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, and Workyard fields (projects, cost codes, etc.) right inside the submission
- Switch between View and Edit mode as needed
- Every change is logged with a name and timestamp - you'll always know who updated what and when

Note:
Signatures and file uploads can't be edited.Who can edit:
Admins only. Managers and workers see the updated version but can't make changes.Available now on the Workyard desktop web app.
What's new
We've redesigned the cost allocation suggestions flow. Workers now see the customer name alongside the project name when selecting projects, and each % slider now shows the actual hours worked (e.g. 4h 30mins) rather than just a percentage.
Why it matters
When workers tag time across multiple projects, similar project names made it hard to pick the right one. And splitting by percentage alone was abstract — workers had no way to know what 45% actually meant in hours without doing the math themselves.
How it works
• On the project selection screen, each project now shows its customer name below the project name
• On the time split screen (both projects and cost codes), the calculated hours appear alongside each % slider and update live as the slider moves

New! Location & Timestamp Automation in Smart Forms
We’ve added a powerful new enhancement to Smart Forms - you can now record location and/or timestamp data for any question in your form, including photo uploads.
This gives your team reliable, automated context for every response, making it easier to validate work completed onsite, confirm when inspections occurred, and maintain accurate, auditable records.

What’s new

- Automatically record this metadata at the moment a worker answers the question
- For photo questions: metadata captures when the photo is taken or uploaded
- View all captured metadata in the form submission
- Clear fallback states if location or timestamp can’t be captured
Why it’s useful
- Provides trustworthy proof-of-work for safety checks, jobsite documentation, deliveries, and inspections
- Reduces disputes and improves auditability with transparent, verifiable data
- Ensures consistent location/time capture without extra steps for the field team
- Works seamlessly across all question types, not just photos

Time Clock Rules
Manual & Default Options for Project Time Tracking

You now have more flexibility when setting up rules for your team assigns time to projects, thanks to the new option to switch between manual and default project selection modes.
What’s New
You can now choose a manual mode for project/time assignment, giving teams more control at clock-in.
Previously
- Default project/cost code selection was only available for Kiosk Clock Ins
- There was no way to disable auto-defaulting projects based on geofence proximity.
What’s Improved
With this update, teams can:
- Disable automatic project selection based on jobsite proximity and enforce a manual selection
- Set specific default projects or cost codes when clocking in
These changes provide tighter control over how time is tracked, reduce incorrect assignments, and make the system more adaptable to different workflows
