Making Time Clock Activities Inactive

You already know Virtual TimeClock is the best time and attendance system for keeping track of employee hours for payroll. But it's also a great tool for tracking time spent on different projects, jobs, or customers. We call them 'Activities'. Activities are easy to add, and you can name them whatever you want. Once a job has been completed, you'll want to remove the activity from the current selection list so it's no longer available when clocking in or starting new activities.



From the Virtual TimeClock Administration Window, click Configure and then Activities to change the status. Don't worry! Activities are still available when running historic reports and can be made active again if needed.

Clock Out Even Faster

Out memos are temporary notes that are left when an employee stops working and are not included on employee timecards. Multiple out memos are great when using the time clock's in/out board interface but not necessary, especially when clocking in and out from a time clock kiosk with a PIN or Passcode. If you want to streamline the clock out process, then you can remove all but one of the out memos. This will eliminate the extra popup menu when stopping work for the day.

Turn Administration On from the File menu and from the Configure menu, choose Display Groups. select your display group and click Out Memos. Unselect the extra out memos and save.



Congratulations! You've just eliminated an extra step when clocking out.

Time Clock Preferences

Virtual TimeClock Preferences allow the time clock software user to change the name display sort when using the in/out board, change the sound the program makes when clocking in and out, and adjust the sound volume. Preferences can be found under the Virtual TimeClock menu on Mac computers and under the Edit menu on Windows computers.



The user access settings and in/out board list columns have been moved to the display group settings in Virtual TimeClock '12. Display groups can be found under the Configure menu in the Administration window.
