Configuring a Swipe Request Timeout

You can configure a web service timeout (default of 5 seconds) that will accept a last swipe without validation, even though the clock is offline and not communicating with the WFM application. After the timeout is reached, the clock will not perform validations that require a last swipe such as consecutive type and break length.

To change the timeout setting from the default of 5 seconds, you can modify the wbsynch.webservice.swiperequest.timeout setting in the settings.conf file by using Admin Console.

To modify the setting using Admin Console:

  1. Connect to the clock you want to update with Admin Console.
  2. On the Settings tab of Admin Console, right-click the wbsynch.webservice.swiperequest.timeout property and select Modify Value.
  3. Enter a value of true and click OK.
  4. Restart your clock for the changes to take effect.
