Introduction
The InTouch DX is a data collection device that communicates with the Kronos
host applications. The timeclock collects information that employees enter using a
badge reader, biometric device, or keypad. The host application software collects
data from the timeclocks to track and process labor-related data, generate
management reports, and transfer information to the payroll service.
The InTouch DX does the following:
•
Enforces schedules, by controlling when specific employees can swipe in and
swipe out for shifts, meals, and breaks.
• Displays accrued vacation, sick time, and messages to individual employees
(depending on the host application).
• Enables users to perform transactions such as labor category transfers,
paycode transactions, and Smart View transactions. Smart View transactions
allow users to access and interact with current information that is not resident
at the device.
Note : This documentation refers to transactions by their default names. Your
administrator can change these names to conform with your business practices.
