If
Request Department Code
is enabled, the terminal will request a department code
each time an employee punches. The employee may enter any number up to 8 digits in
length. The terminal will record the department code as part of the punch record.
If
Request Department Code
is not enabled, the employee may bring up the Department
Code prompt by pressing the # key once before entering an ID number. The terminal
will only request a department code if the employee specifically requests it.
HandPunch 2000 Punch Menus
In the HandPunch 2000, the default punch menus described above are available
and function in the same manner. In addition, the employees may define the
explicit punch menus to meet their specific needs. This is accomplished by
defining the F0/Explicit Punch key in a “data management key definition file”.
When F0 is defined:
1. The default explicit punch menus are disabled.
2.
The employee may bring up the Department Code prompt by pressing the #
key once before entering his or her ID number.
A employee defined explicit punch menu can function like any of the data
management keys. See below for a general overview. Please refer to RSI’s
Function Key Compiler Employees Manual for the details on creating this menu.
Data Management Keys
You can define the two data management keys on the HandPunch 2000 to meet a variety
of data collection tasks. For the details describing how to create the data collection
sequences, refer to your time and attendance documents.
Below is a general description of the capabilities of the data management keys. RSI’s
key definition architecture is simple to set up and offers considerable flexibility. You can
assemble two basic operations that to define what happens when a data management key
is pressed. They are:
1.
Collect Data
2.
Display a menu
You can define up to 100 operations and store them in the terminal. Up to 20 pieces of
data may be collected per use.
Collect Data
You can create your own data collection displays. The first line of the LCD display will
accept a prompt of up to 16 characters. The second line displays up to 8 digits of an
employee’s data entry. The following is an example of a department transfer data
collection:
