Administration Mode

The Infor Workbrain 5.0.3.0 release introduced the Administration Mode to the WB5500 Series Clock, which contains system administration functions, such as restarting the clock, initiating file updates, and restoring the last version of the clock software.

Originally, these administration functions were accessible in Supervisor Mode, which allowed supervisors to access functions that did not necessarily pertain to their role. Typically, supervisors are responsible for their employees and require access to clock functions that pertain to them, not the functions that pertain to the clock itself.

Administration Mode was introduced to separate the system administration functions from the supervisor functions, so that only system administrators can access the administration functions. The mode is accessed by pressing a key combination of buttons and then entering the Administration Mode PIN. The key combination and PIN are both configurable.
