How InTouch DX works
How the timeclock operates with the host application
Administrators: Use the host application to configure employees and
information such as schedules, punch restrictions, and labor categories. The host
application downloads this information to the timeclock, which uses it to accept or
restrict employee punches.
When employees swipe their badges at the timeclock, the punch information is
stored in the timeclock database. The host application collects the stored data and
totals the hours, computes overtime, calculates wages, tracks labor, and generates
reports. In Workforce Dimensions, use
the Device Configuration page to define
which transactions users can perform, and to monitor the data that the host
application and timeclock exchange.
Note: The device configuration instructions in this document assume that you are
using Workforce Dimensions as the host application.
The timeclock supports SSL encryption so that sensitive information about
employees and their timecards is protected on the Internet.
Cross-punching
Cross-punching allows employees (referred to as non-home employees) to punch
at a timeclock to which they are not assigned.
Administrators: To enable the cross-punching feature for a device, access the
Device Configuration page, choose Transaction Settings, and select Allow non-
home employees.
