Floating action button

The floating action button at the bottom right of the screen provides clocking options to employees.

When a user first accesses the Self Service Portal, the current clock status is shown for three seconds in an extended button before it collapses. The button remains fixed to the bottom right of the screen when the user navigates to other pages, except for the Self Scheduling page.

When a user taps the floating action button, the clocking actions are displayed in a modal.

Clock modal

In an out-of-the-box solution, these are the default clocking actions:

ON
OFF
Start Meal
End Meal
Start Break
End Break

You can use the Clock Preset form in the desktop application to configure the clocking actions that are displayed.

See Configuring the clocking actions that are displayed.

Note: Each of the default clocking actions has a corresponding image, which includes the name, design, and color of the button. Both the name of the clocking action and the color can be changed, but changing the display color in the Self Service Portal is only supported if you change the default name as well.

When a user performs a clocking action, the clock modal closes and the color of the button changes based on the selected clock. Red is displayed for clocking off, green is displayed for clocking on, and blue is displayed for meals and breaks. Both the clock status text and success message can be localized.
