Adding reader groups

To add a reader group:

  1. Select Maintenance > Reader Setup > Reader Groups.
  2. Click Create New Entry.
  3. Specify this information:
    Reader Group
    Specify the name of the reader group.
    Description
    Specify a description of the reader group's purpose.
    Reader Server
    Select the server from which readers that are assigned to the reader group read from the lookup.
    Enable Swipes Across Readers
    Select the check box to enable swipe sharing across multiple WB8000 or WB9000 clocks. Swipe sharing allows an employee to use other clocks in their workplace that also have swipe sharing enabled. Employee swipes are shared between all clocks that belong to a single reader group.
    Note: After enabling this check box, swipe sharing is automatically enabled for existing readers that are part of this reader group and new readers that are added to this reader group.

    To disable swipe sharing for all readers that are part of this reader group, clear the check box.

    For more information on adding a reader, see Adding readers.

    For more information on configuration and the limitations of this feature, see the Infor Workforce Management Clock System Administration Guide for your clock.

    Enable Meal Confirmation
    Select the check box to enable meal confirmation. Employees assigned to this reader group are eligible to be prompted to confirm their meal upon clocking off.
    Note: To use this feature, employees clocking using mobility must also belong to a calculation group with the Enable Meal Confirmation option enabled. If either option is unselected, the employee will not be prompted to confirm their meal upon clocking off. See the Infor Workforce Management Mobility Administration Guide.

    To disable meal confirmation for all employees that are assigned to this reader group, clear the check box.

    The Meal Confirmation Pay Rule can be used to remove meal breaks when an employee has indicated that they did not receive their scheduled meal break upon clocking off. See Meal Confirmation Pay Rule.

    For more information on the configuration of meal confirmation on your WB8000 or WB9000 clock, see the Infor Workforce Management Clock System Administration Guide for your clock.
