Introduction

This document outlines the steps which need to be taken when attempting to use the mobile clocking feature of InfoTime. When clocking via the mobile feature the employee’s location will be captured along with the time and date of the clocking. The location of the clocking can be viewed from the software, allowing managers to monitor mobile workers more effectively.

Please note, the Mobile Clocking Module is not included as standard with the InfoTime software. It may be that you need to upgrade your system license if you wish for your employees to clock in via the mobile feature. If you are unsure whether this module has been purchased, please contact our Sales team on 01132587856 for more information.

Using the mobile log in feature

To effectively use the Mobile Clocking module InfoTime needs to be installed on a web server that is accessible via the internet,. If your instance of InfoTime is hosted by yourself, you should consult with your IT department to make sure this is possible on your server.

In order to get up and running with mobile clocking, you will need to firstly setup the employee to clock in using mobile clocking by giving them their own username and password.

To do that go to the list of employee’s by hovering over Employee then click Employee

You will now see your list of colleagues on screen. To the right of the employee details, click Edit next to the employee you want to setup to be able to mobile clock, and then scroll down to tick ‘Allow Mobile Clocking’ You can then enter a custom username and password for this employee .

The employee is now setup to mobile clock.

When mobile clocking is enabled a link will appear on the InfoTime login screen linking to the Mobile Clocking page.

Clicking this link will take the employee to the Mobile Clocking login page, this can also be accessed at http://InfoTimeSoftwareAddress/EmployeeLogin.aspx where InfoTimeSoftwareAddress is replaced by the address you normally access the InfoTime software.

Once at this location the Employee Clocking in screen will load (Fig 2).

 

At this screen the employee can login using their login and password. Once they’ve logged in the Clocking screen will load (Fig 3).

To clock the employee needs to click the Clock Now button.

Once a clocking is successfully made the background of the clocking screen will change to green to show the clocking registered and Clocking Successful will be displayed below the Clock Now button.
