Using the MS Windows Application

The Time Track App is an electronic time clock that populates the clock in and clock out times within the EBMS timecard. The solution also populates the timecard details lines unlike the browser version of Time Track. This application requires the MS Windows operation system. The Time Track App is optimized to run on a touch screen device such as a tablet or touch screen monitor running MS Windows. Unlike the MS Store App, this clock must be networked with EBMS using Ethernet, wireless, or VPN network.

The Time Track App should be conveniently located where employees can clock in and out when starting or leaving work. The App can be run on individual user's computers or be mounted in a central location for workers to clock in and out similar to a traditional time clock. The following solution is commonly used for this purpose.
