31.1 Clocking Groups

Clocking Groups

Clocking groups are used when groups of employees use different sets of Time and Attendance vs. Access Control only readers. In order to activate clocking groups function, ‘Clocking Groups’ need to be enabled in the System Configuration (Import tab). To manage these clocking groups, click on ‘Setup’ then ‘Employee Fields’, then ‘Clocking Groups’ from the menu bar. In the screenshots above the Admin clocking group will only obtain their Time and Attendance clockings from the Reception Door whereas the Factory staff will get their clockings from the Factory T&A device and the east and west turnstile readers. In this example Admin staff may pass through the turnstiles during their daily duties, without those transactions affecting their Time and Attendance calculations.

The Default Clocking Group includes all the Time and Attendance readers as configured per device i.e. if a device is set to “Time and Attendance” then it will be selected in this default group. Similarly when connecting to external access control systems, only the readers set to “Time and Attendance” will automatically be selected here. Once a new clocking group is created, one can select the Time and Attendance readers regardless of their original Time and Attendance status.

Clocking groups may also be set to be date-driven, if this is required simply check the option for ‘Use dates’ on the Import tab in System Configuration.

This will change the Clocking Group field on Employee Details to a label, with the assignment option appearing in the Personal2 tab.
