Email Notification

Email notification in the TimeForce II system allows you to specify that any time a selected error appears on an employee’s Time Card, an email is sent to the supervisor that the employee is assigned to.

Setup

This functionality contains two separate setup screens. The first is “Error Defaults” located in the main “Admin” section of the program. This screen allows you to set up the default Error Monitoring settings for all employees in the system.

Error Monitoring settings can also be specified on a per-employee basis from the “Error Monitoring” section of the main “Employee Tab.”

In either screen, simply place a check mark in the Email setting for each error that you would like the system to notify supervisors of. The email address used is taken from the Email setting specified in the supervisor’s employee profile.

Specifications

  • Notification email will be sent for errors on punches generated by a physical time clock or Self Service entry only.
  • All error notifications are sent only once.

Network Settings

Click on the main "Admin" tab, and then on the "Settings" link located under the System Tools heading. Locate the SMTP Server section of the screen.

This section is used to configure an email server which TimeForce II will use to send emails to employees and supervisors.

  • SMTP Server: This is the server name or IP address.
  • SMTP User Name: This is the user name of the account used when sending email alerts to the server.
  • SMTP Password: Enter the password for the account used when sending email alerts to the server.
  • SMPT Port: Allows for a custom SMTP port to be used. The default port is "25."

When you have finished specifying SMTP settings, be sure and click on the [SAVE] icon to save the changes that you have made.
