Getting Started

  • Once you've received your QuickClock device, you must ensure all your employees who will be using it have been assigned a proximity card and their card number has been assigned to their account. To do so, complete the following:
    • Proceed to "Preferences -> Personnel/Employees".
    • Click on an employees name
    • Look under "Time Tracking Settings" on the right hand side. You should see a field titled, "Time Clock #". This is where you'll want to place the number they've been assigned through the proximity card.
  • Once you've saved all your employee's time clock numbers, proceed to "Preferences -> Time Tracking Settings".
  • On the right hand side of the page, under "Physical Time Clock Settings", look for the checkbox labeled, "Enable alternate login screen to accommodate QuickClock device". Make sure this is checked.
  • Save the form.
