7.1 Daily Details

7.1 Daily Details

Info
Daily Details

 Click on ‘View’ then ‘Daily Details’ from the menu bar, or click on the icon on the toolbar. The Daily Details window applies to the person selected in the employee list, and it’s broken into four sections. The upper-right quadrant deals with the clockings for the selected person on the selected day. The upper-left quadrant presents the assigned time or adjustment categories. The lower left section of the window is where adjustments are applied, and the lower right section allows date or day navigation, and contains the ‘Recalculate’ button.

The name of the Shift Pattern that has been assigned to the employee is displayed in the bottom left corner of the Daily Details window, with the particular Day Program being applied for the day also shown (shift start and end times will be in parenthesis whether they are part of the Day Program name or not). Double-clicking on either of these will open the respective configuration window. The input field for ‘Daily Comment’ allows for up to 2000 characters of text to be entered. Note that reports will not wrap this text, so if printing is desired it is advisable to send the report to Excel and format from there. Text is auto-saved as soon as Recalculate is clicked, or another date is selected (or window closed).

Daily Details E.g. 1
Here is an example before any corrective intervention, using standard view. The employee’s clockings show that he was an hour late arriving for his shift (generating the short -time and late arrival categories), and worked twenty minutes past end of shift (generating twenty minutes of unauthorized overtime). 

Note the asterisk next to each clocking in the Active column, signifying manual entries.

Late Arrival, Present, Manual Clockings and All Clockings are counters which have been incremented.

Daily Details E.g. 2
We now see the result of applying a manual adjustment to allow the late arrival (‘Allow Late’ was clicked). The adjustment added twenty minutes to normal time to complete the expected hours for the day, and short time and late arrival time categories and counters no longer reflect. If it was desired to still show the late arrival having occurred, ‘Include Late Arrival’ would be ticked.

The counter for Manual Adjustments has been incremented (because an adjustment was performed).

Note that adjustment comments can be predefined, and users can be prevented from entering reasons of their choosing.

Daily Details E.g. 3
The unauthorized OT1.5 has been authorized (now highlighted in blue), and the T&A view has been applied to show reasons. The ‘Authorize‘ and ‘Decline‘ buttons have been replaced by the ‘Un Authorize‘ button. If the overtime is unauthorized by clicking this button, the ‘Authorize‘ and ‘Decline‘ buttons seen previously will re-appear. 

If Morpho devices with screens are in use it is also possible to setup Clocking Reasons (see Configuration manual for more). If Clocking Reasons are being used, they can be seen from the T&A view under Device Reason

Info
Date Navigator 

The date containing the clockings, totals and adjustments for the day is displayed in the bottom right hand quarter of the window.

Non-working days will show as blue text, public holidays will show green text.

To view the previous day, click the left arrow or press F4 on the keyboard. To view the next day, click the right arrow or press F5 on the keyboard.

To view a specific date, click the date or day and then select the date from the calendar that appears.

Info
Totals

This block displays the Time Categories and Counters allocated to the specific day. It will also display the reason, if entered, for any authorized overtime

These allocated times and counters are calculated by applying the daily shift rules to the clockings for each day.

If overtime authorization is being implemented, one can authorize all unauthorized overtime for that day, by clicking the ‘Authorize’ button. If an employee has achieved more than one type of unauthorized overtime in a single day, you can authorize separately by double-clicking on the time. To unauthorize all incorrectly authorized overtime, click the ‘Un-Authorize’ button, or double-click the incorrect authorized overtime categories separately. 

OT reasons, if applied via Overtime Authorization, can be viewed by dragging out the columns as needed. 

Info
Standard view

Active clockings are the combination of original and manual clockings, which are used for calculations. 

Calculated clockings are the clockings used for the day’s calculation, after applying any revisions and roundings.

To add a manual clocking, click on the ’Add’ button and enter the clocking time, then click ‘Insert’ or press the Enter key on the keyboard. To add a manual ‘Out’ clocking for a night shift, which occurs past midnight, navigate to the next day and add the clocking in that day. If you go back to the previous day the clocking will be marked with ‘*’ and ‘>’. A reason can be added for the manual clocking, or reasons can be predefined and the user will need to select one.

To delete a clocking click on the clocking in the active list, then click the ‘Delete’ button (or press Del on the keyboard). 

(Dup) indicates that a clocking has been identified as a duplicate, configured in the shift setup, and will be ignored in the calculation.

Identifiers: 
 
  1. In the Original list indicates a deleted clocking.
  2.  In the Active list indicates a manual clocking.
>         This is a clocking which was clocked in the next day but allocated to this day for calculations (night shift out clocking).
>*       This is a manual clocking which was clocked in the next day but allocated to this day for calculations (night shift out clocking). 
>>       This is a clocking which has occurred at least two days in the future but allocated to this day for calculations (only with Dynamic Days).
<         This is a clocking which was clocked in the previous day but allocated to this day for calculations (shift starting late at night for today).
<*       This is a manual clocking which was clocked in the previous day but allocated to this day for calculations. 
^         This is a system-generated “phantom” clocking (extended day frame has been applied). 

In Standard or T&A view there is a right-click context menu as well, with extra options if a clocking is right-clicked on.


Info
T&A view

 This view mode will list all of the Original, Manual and Deleted clockings using four columns.

Column one shows the ‘Time’, column two shows the ‘Direction’ (in or out), column three shows the ‘Type’ (manual or original), column four shows the Reason if entered by the user, and column 5 will display reasons selected on the device by the employee. You can right-click to add or delete clockings with or without reasons.

To add a manual clocking, click on the ’Add’ button then enter the clocking time and a reason if need be, then click ‘Insert’ or press the Enter key on the keyboard. To add a manual 'Out' clocking for a night shift, which occurs past midnight, navigate to the next day and add the clocking in that day. If you go back to the previous day the clocking will be marked with an ‘*’ and an ‘>’

To delete a clocking, click on the clocking in the active list, then click the ‘Delete’ button (or <Del> on the keyboard)

Recalculate should be done here by clicking the ‘Recalculate’ button or <F10> or <*> on the keyboard. See the Recalculate section for further information on recalculating.

Identifiers 


A red clocking indicates a deleted clocking.

A highlighted clocking indicates a manual clocking. 

A > indicates a clocking which was clocked in the next day but allocated to this day for calculations (night shift out clocking).

A >> indicates a clocking which has occurred in the future but allocated to this day for calculations (only with Dynamic Days). 

“Dup” indicates a clocking that is not contributing towards T&A results, per Day Program settings. 

“A.Dup” indicates a duplicated clocking that occurred on a device with the duplicate override option enabled.

Info
Access view

This view mode will list all of the clockings from hardware using four columns; time, direction, type (access or T&A), and the device name the clocking was generated on.

If the JT Clock module is activated clicking on ‘Access’ will present two further buttons, ‘Map’ and ‘Photo’. Additional columns will present related information; Location, Photo, and Distance. If the location and distance values do not display properly, please check Windows Regional settings (per Installation manual).


Note the orange highlighted clockings are exceptions (clocked out of defined area). By right-clicking on one of these clockings the user can choose to change the clocking from Access Control to T&A by ‘Accepting the out of area’ exception. Note that if a transaction has been converted and a clocking reimport is done, the clocking will be reset (i.e. not accepted if out of area) and the comments will be removed. 

After clicking the ‘Map’ button and selecting a clocking, that clocking’s location will be shown: 


After clicking the ‘Photo’ button and selecting a clocking that clocking’s associated image will be displayed


Requiring a photo and/or location for clockings are optional settings in JT Clock.

If the system hardware configuration is suitable this view can also present Temperature reading and Face Mask information.

Info
Manual Adjustments

A manual adjustment can be added if an employee is not present or has some time missing. This will record the reason for absence and allocate the necessary time. If an adjustment is not entered the system will keep the employee as absent, and he or she will have short time on the timesheet.

To add a common (regular) adjustment, click on one from the selection on the bottom left-hand side of screen. This will apply the saved parameters for that particular adjustment to the day. These common adjustments can be defined in the ‘System Preferences’ window found in the ‘Setup’ menu from the menu bar. The creation of these common adjustments is explained in the Configuration manual. If the adjustment is not amongst the common adjustments, one can click the ‘Add a Custom Adjustment’ button and select from the complete list of adjustments. (You can type the first letter of the adjustment to navigate to it instantly.)

If the adjustment required is not in this list or not allocating the correct time categories when applied, please contact your supplier to add to or revise the complete adjustment list. Once the custom adjustment is added you will need to select the ‘Time to allocate’ from the list.

Balance to Target Time’ will allocate the difference of time needed to make up their target time for that particular day. 

Custom Time’ is used to allocate a fixed specific amount of time. To do this, enter the desired time into the box below. You can also allocate a custom counter, to add or remove a shift count for example.

A ‘Comment’ may also be inserted for future reference (sick note number, reason for extra hours etc.). If preset comments have been setup (see Configuration manual for detail on how to do this), preset comments will be available from a drop-down menu. 

Override any Clockings’, if selected, will ignore all clockings for the day, and only apply the adjustment created. 

To remove time for the day, select ‘Subtract this Time’. 

If Late Arrival and Early Departure times are still required, ensure that ‘Include Early Times’ and ‘Include Late Times’ are selected.

To delete a manual adjustment, navigate to the date of the adjustment for the employee and then on the bottom left-hand side select the adjustment and click ‘Delete’. To add a second adjustment for the same day, click ‘Add’ on the bottom left-hand side, or plus <+> on the keyboard and select the type of adjustment from the list and apply the parameters as per normal. To calculate the results, click ‘Recalculate’.

Info
Alternative Day Programs and Shifts


To change the day program or shift pattern assigned to this person, and to change it for this day only, right-click on the ‘Day Program’ name and from the context menu which appears, select either ‘Alternate Day Program’ which presents a list of all possible Day Programs, or select ‘Alternate Shift for This Day’ which presents a list of all possible Shift Patterns. After selecting an alternate day program it will appear in maroon instead of regular black.


This can be useful in cases where, for example, an employee is off sick so another employee has to fill in the sick individual’s shift, for just one day. Another method would be to use the Day Schedule, see later section in this manual for further information.  

Info
Miscellaneous Options

Right-clicking on the Close button produces a small context menu with options of how to place the cursor after particular actions.
  

Right-clicking in an open area of the adjustment shortcuts also has a context menu option to allow editing of various options.

 

Right-clicking in an open area of the Time Category section allows easy toggling between time and decimal format for results to be presented in.
