Directionless clock punches

Directionless clocks are processed in two different ways. The algorithm that is used is based on the FORCE_CLOCK_ON_DAY registry value.

When set to TRUE, a simple calculation is performed based on the CLOCKING_DAY_START value. The calculation is defined by an Employee UDF or the registry parameter.

See FORCE_CLOCK_ON_DAY = true.

When set to FALSE, a more complicated calculation is performed that takes into account the employee's schedule.

See FORCE_CLOCK_ON_DAY = false.

Processing is affected by these values:

• Registry parameters in system/WORKBRAIN_PARAMETERS/:
  • FORCE_CLOCK_ON_DAY
  • CLOCKING_DAY_START
  • DIRLESS_CLOCK_OFFSET
  • SCHEDULE_MAX_LOOK_BACK_DAYS

  See Registry parameters.

• Employee User-Defined Field (UDF): CLOCKING_DAY_START, type STRING

  See Employee start times for directionless clocks.
