Configuring swipe actions

You can modify the clock.xml file to allow employees to complete multiple labor metric actions in a single swipe.

For example, you can configure the clock so employees can select a job and a department when they clock in. After the employee enters their badge number they are shown first a list of available jobs and then a list of departments. After making their selections, the employee selects Submit to finish clocking in.

In clock.xml, the additional actions are configured by adding <sub-item> nodes to an item in the toolbar. This example adds options for an employee to select a project or a docket when they clock in.

<toolbar mode="EMPLOYEE" >
  <item order="1" action="IN">
	<sub-item order="1" action="PROJECT_CHANGE"/>
	<sub-item order="2" action="DOCKET_CHANGE"/>
  </item>
  ...

The <item> node specified the main swipe, which can be an in or out swipe or a labor metric change.

These are the supported labor metric actions for the sub-items:

DEPARTMENT_CHANGE
DOCKET_CHANGE
JOB_CHANGE
PROJECT_CHANGE
TIMECODE_CHANGE
