Viewing swipes
Employees can view different types of swipes that were performed on the clock based on how the feature is configured. Employees can review this type of information:
- The recorded date and time of the swipe.
- The type of swipe, clock in, clock out or a labor metric change, such as a job or department change.
- Whether a swipe was recorded by a supervisor on behalf of the employee.
Employees can also view any data associated with custom prompts, if configured. For example, if an employee is required to record any tips received while clocking out and the clock is configured to capture this information, the view swipe screen will display the clock out information as well as the tip amount.
Depending on your system configuration, you will use either a reader configuration in WFM or the settings.conf file on the server to enable swipe viewing.
