Clock Options
The next screen in the
Setup Wizard asks you "Did you purchase a clock with TimeForce?"
If yes, the Wizard will walk you through creating the time clock profiles
that the TimeForce system requires in order to communicate with the clock.
Click on the  icon
located in the upper right-hand corner of the screen to create time clock
profiles. Click on  to
skip the clock setup section (continue to Add
Company Information). Click on the  icon
to save your progress and exit the Setup Wizard.
Time Clock Profiles
The third screen in the
Setup Wizard is the "Time Clock Profiles" screen. In order for
the TimeForce system to be able to communicate with your clock, a Time
Clock Profile must exist in the system for each clock that you wish to
download punches from.
The "Activation Key
Report" that you received with your shipping invoice contains a list
of each time clock that you purchased.
The "Time Clock Profiles"
screen is broken up into two sections. The section at the top of the screen
with a blue header is where clock profile information is entered. The
section located directly below with a grey header displays the clock profiles
that have already been entered into the system.
Enter
the Clock ID. This ID is assigned
in the memory of the clock itself. When a clock is purchased from Qqest,
the clock ID is set to the default ID of "1." Once you have
successfully connected to your time clock, the ID can be customized as
desired. Select
the clock Model from the drop-down
menu. If you are unsure of what clock model you purchased, consult the
product list in the "Activation Key Report." Enter
a clock Description. This setting
is not used for communications purposes, but is a naming convention intended
to assist you in keeping track of the clock profiles in your system. In
the Connection Method drop-down
menu, select the appropriate communications method from the list (as in
"Serial Clock," "Modem Clock," "Ethernet Clock,"
etc.). The "Activation Key Report" can assist you in determining
the connection method. The
Connection # field is where you
enter specific connection information, based on the "Connection Method"
specified above.
If
your clock is an "Ethernet Clock," the system must know the
unique IP Address assigned to
the clock. If
your clock is a "Modem Clock," you must enter the unique Phone Number at which the time clock
can be reached. If
your clock is a "Serial Clock," specify which Com
Port the clock is attached to, or select "Auto Detect."
Click
on the  icon
located to the right of the "Connection #" field to save the
time clock profile.
Once a clock profile has
been entered into the system, it appears under the grey header at the
bottom of the screen. To remove a clock profile from the system, click
on the  icon.
You may also edit an existing clock profile, should a change be needed.
Edit the desired field and click on the [UPDATE] icon.
Create a time clock profile
for each clock that you would like the TimeForce system to communicate
with. Once you have completed the profile setup, click on the  icon
to continue to the next setup step.
Note: Additional clock profiles can be created once you exit the
Setup Wizard and log into the TimeForce system normally.
If you need to return to
the previous screen at any time, click on the  icon.
Click on the icon
to save your progress and exit the Setup Wizard.
