Validations in reader configurations

If you are using reader configurations, you will use configuration properties to configure clock validations.

In the Configuration Properties grid in the Reader Configuration Setup form, use these properties to enable validations:

validation.break_length.enable: Enables the break length validation.
See Break length validation.
validation.consecutive_types.enable: Enables the consecutive types validation.
See Consecutive types validation.
validation.department.enable: Enables department labor metric validation.
validation.docket.enable: Enables docket labor metric validation.
validation.job.enable: Enables job labor metric validation.
validation.project.enable: Enables project labor metric validation.
validation.same_minute.enable: Enables the same minute validation. This validation rejects punches that are done within the same minute as a previous punch.
Use the validation.same_minute.type configuration property to specify the swipe types that the validation applies to, such as N,OUT,JOB,DOCKET,TCODE,DEPARTMENT,PROJECT,DIRECTIONLESS.
validation.schedule.enable: Enables schedule validation.
See Schedule validation.
validation.timecode.enable: Enables timecode labor metric validation.

Validations in supervisor mode

By default, most validations are skipped when you are using the clock in supervisor mode. This functionality is also configurable in readers configurations.

For each validation type, there is a skip_in_supervisor_mode configuration property that corresponds to the enable property. For example, validation.schedule.skip_in_supervisor_mode is used to skip schedule validation for supervisors.

Set the skip_in_supervisor_mode property to Y or N to enable or disable skipping a validation in supervisor mode.
