Changing Projects

You perform project change punches when you are switching projects. If you work on different projects you can record when you switch from one project to the other.

Your supervisor will explain when you need to record changing projects and which project ID to use for your different projects.

To change projects:

  1. Press Project Change. The clock reader’s light changes to orange and the following message is displayed:

    Change Project
    Enter ID
  2. Specify your ID, swipe your badge, or scan your proximity badge.
  3. If your WB5500 Series Clock has been setup for fingerprint verification, place your finger on the scanner when prompted. The following message is displayed:
    Change Project
    Enter Project ID
  4. Specify the ID of the job to which you want to change. Contact your supervisor if you do not know which ID to use.
  5. Press Enter.

    When your punch is successful the WB5500 Series Clock beeps twice, the light beneath the keypad flashes green, and the message Project changed followed by the current time is displayed.

    When your punch is unsuccessful the WB5500 Series Clock beeps three times, the light beneath the keypad flashes red, and one of the following messages is displayed:

    • Invalid ID

      The clock reader does not recognize your ID or badge. Try punching again using these tips:

      • Ensure that you are specifying your ID correctly.
      • Ensure that you are swiping your badge properly.

      If you receive the same error message, contact your supervisor.

    • Invalid Project

    The clock reader does not recognize the Project ID. Either you specified the wrong number or no project exists for that number.

    You have not changed projects. Contact your supervisor.
