Purpose

Clock In Desc – This is what appears in the pull-down window when the employee clocks in.

Help Message – This message appears on the help screen if the employee tries to clock in when, according to the system, they are due to clock out. This would occur if they forgot to clock out, and the system captures two consecutive clock-ins.

Clock Out Desc – This is what appears in the pull-down window when the employee clocks out.

Security Levels

Change own transactions – The security level required to clock in and out. If your security level equals this number, you will exit the Clock In/Out screen directly after selecting Update or Cancel. If your security level is higher than this number, you can maintain your own transactions. That is, you will be able to add, change, or clone your Time Clock transactions.

Authorize differences – Not used at this time.

Modify other users’ transactions – The minimum security level required to add, change, or clone transactions of other employees. This should always be at a level higher than that for "Change own transactions".

Delete/purge – The minimum security level required to delete a transaction using the Delete button or the purge program.
