Uploading Information

Multiple levels of information can be uploaded to the time clock from the TimeForce II database.

Note: The types of information that can be uploaded to your time clock varies greatly depending on the model of the clock being used. Refer to your model-specific instructions for details on which features are available for you to use.

Default Allowed Periods

When using allowed periods, employees are only allowed to punch “in” or “out” at the time clock during the range of time specified. All punch attempts are logged, but punches that fall outside of the specified period will be flagged with an error code when downloaded into the  TimeForce II system.

Employees at Clock

The time clock gives you the option of restricting the employees who are allowed to punch in and out. If an employee who is not assigned to the time clock attempts to punch, they will receive an error stating that they are not assigned to the clock and that a supervisor override is required. The punch will be accepted by the clock, but will be flagged with an error code when it is downloaded into the TimeForce II system.

Departments at Clock

This option allows you to define which department levels your employees will be able to punch into and out from at the time clock. If an employee attempts to punch into a department that is not assigned to the clock they will receive an error message stating that supervisor approval is required for this punch. The punch will be accepted by the clock,  but will be flagged with an error code when it is downloaded into the TimeForce II system.

Jobs at Clock

This option allows you to define that jobs that your employees will be allowed to punch into and out from at the time clock.

Tasks at Clock

This option allows you to define the tasks that your employees will be allowed to punch into and out from at the time clock.

Schedules at Clock

This option allows you to upload individual employee schedules to the time clock, making it so that employees can only punch at the clock  during the range of time specified in the Schedule Rule that they are assigned to.

Relay Events

Qqest time clocks come with an optional feature called "Relay Events." This feature allows you to connect an external bell, buzzer or other signal device to the time clock and program specific times of the day for the signal to go off, usually indicating scheduled start, stop or break times. Each clock can handle up to 32 relay events.
