29.1 Import and Re-Import of Clockings

Info
Import and Re-Import of Clockings


To import clockings manually (import immediately, not waiting for the device engine to import on its schedule), you can click on ‘Action’ then ‘Import Clockings’ from the menu bar, then click on ‘Import’. The system will collect the clockings and then calculate the daily totals according to each employee’s shift rules. 

After the import, a summary is displayed showing the number of clockings and date range imported. In some cases the Device Engine will collect the transactions automatically and this step need not be conducted.

Info
 Re-Import (Why a re-import may be necessary)

If there was some form of interruption during the standard import (for example PC losing power, network failure etc.).

The database was restored from a previous backup.

Employee was allocated to the wrong Clocking Group.

Info
Date Range

Select the dates for transactions to re-import, then click on ‘Search’, this will find any transaction log files from the C:\JT Data\Transactions\ folder on the Device Engine PC. Now click on ‘Import’, Jarrison Time will import and then recalculate for the affected employees and not import duplicates. 

Info
Specific Log Files


To import from one file only or selected files, select the ‘Specific Log Files’ option, then browse for the file(s) - you can select more than one transaction file. If you select ‘Only for employees in the list’ JT will only re-import for employees in the current list. This is useful for importing for one or more employees who had been allocated to the incorrect clocking group.

For systems not connecting directly to the hardware you will only be able to select the date range option.
