Frequently Asked Questions
Q.
I added a new punch for an employee but I do not see it on my report. What could be wrong?
A.
The report screen will default to the original time frame after the punch is added. The punch was probably added
into a different time frame. Click on the date link to select and view the proper time frame. If you were viewing ALL
employees in the
Timecard
report, you will be brought back to a
Timecard
report for that specific employee. From
the date link, you will need to select ALL employees to view the original report.
Q.
I have added a wage amount for my employee(s) but labor is displaying $0.00 on my reports. What could be wrong?
A.
The labor rate will not automatically update if the punches are already on your reports. To update labor totals,
click on each
IN
punch on the report screen and simply click the SUBMIT button in the
Edit a Punch
screen.
Q.
The program seems to be slow when I edit punches. What can I do to improve system performance?
A.
If the punch editing process slows down over time, there are various things that you can do to insure optimal
performance.
1.
We highly recommend only keeping the most recent data on your time clock. In order to keep your
system running optimal, delete unneeded data off of the clock. Refer to
Removing Data from Your
Application
for instructions.
2.
Instead of using the
Timecard Report
for editing punches, we recommend that you use the
Attendance
Report
. Running this report takes less time clock resources and less time to generate.
3.
Minimize how often your time clock checks for Alerts. Instructions for changing these settings can be
found under
