Mass Punch Entry

This option allows you to insert up to 12 punches for each employee in the punch group.  

1. Select the radio-button next to the group that you would like to insert punches for.

2. Click on the [PUNCHES] icon at the bottom of the "Mass Create Punch Groups" screen.  The "Create Mass Punches" screen opens.

3. Enter the Start Date and End Date. This is the range of days during which punches will be created for the specified times on the specified days of the week.  Click on the icons to select the dates from a calendar.

4. You are allowed to create multiple punches per day. Specify the following information for each desired punch:

• Time: Enter the time of the punch.

• In/Out: Specify the punch as "IN," "OUT" or "DEFAULT."
  Note: "DEFAULT" works well for most users.

• Type: Specify whether the punch is a "NORMAL," "LUNCH" or "BREAK" punch.

• Department: If you want the punch to be assigned to a specific department level, select the desired department from this drop-down menu. "HOME DEPT" means that the punch will be assigned to the employee's default department level.

• Method: If you have selected a department level, this field allows you to specify whether this punch is a department "OVERRIDE" or "TRANSFER."

5. Put a check mark in the box under each day of the week on which you would like these punches to be created.

6. The Employees section of the screen allows you to modify the employees that are assigned to this group. The Used section displays the employees that are already assigned. Add or remove employees from the group as desired.
   Note: The changes you make to the employees assigned to this group do not effect the group itself. You are only modifying which employees will be included in this mass punch entry.

7. Click on the [PROCESS] icon to process the mass punch entry.
