Using Time Track

The Time Track App is an electronic time clock that populates the timecard details such as the date, work code, date, and units/hours as well as the clock in and clock out times within the EBMS timecard.  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 users' computers or be mounted in a central location for workers to clock in and out similar to a traditional time clock.  Time Track can click in multiple individuals that are associated with the Worker and are grouped in the same Worker category.  This device can also be used to record piecework details.

Review Installing and Configuring the Store App for instructions to install Time Track on a device and configure options.  Launch the MS Store Time Track App as shown above.

  3. Slide the various bars up and down until they accurately represent the user's time allocation.  Enter piecework quantities if the work is configured for piecework pay rather than hourly pay.  

  4. Click Assign to write timecard lines.  Click Skip to assign timecard lines at a later time or by the payroll staff.   If the Insert Lunch Break is selected on the Time Clock tab of the employee's payroll record, they will see an option to add or change lunch.

Clock In/Out Multiple Individuals

The following configuration allows other workers to be clock in/out using the same time and steps as an identified worker such as a manager or leader.

Complete the following steps to identify the manager or leader and clock in/out a group of workers:

  1. Open the manager or leader Worker record in EBMS and click on the App Settings tab.

  2. Enable Clock In/Out All Workers in Same Folder only within the manager or leader's worker record.  Do not enable this option for other workers that are grouped with the manager or leader.

  3. Verify that all workers that are clicked in at the same time must be placed in the same Worker category.

  4. Repeat these steps for other worker groups with a consistent leader or manager.
