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.

By default all departments are assigned to the clock. Use the following instructions to restrict departments.

  1. Click on the main "Clocks" navigation tab at the top of the screen.
  2. Click on either the [EDIT/VIEW] icon from the Existing Clocks section of the screen, or the "Clock Settings" link located at the top of the screen.
  3. This screen allows you to search for existing clock profiles based on the clock group that they are assigned to. Make the desired selection from the Group drop-down menu. Leave this field blank to bring up all time clock profiles.
  4. Click on the [DISPLAY] icon. The found clock profiles are displayed under the Clock List header.
  5. In the Number column, click on the link for the time clock that you would like to restrict departments for. The "Clock" screen appears. The Departments at the Clock setup is located in the area below the Allowed Periods section of the screen.
  6. Remove the check mark from the Send All Departments option. The Unselected and Selected boxes appear.
  7. Highlight the desired departments from the Unselected box and click on the icon_assign.jpg icon. The selected departments are moved to the Selected box. These departments will be uploaded to the clock.
