Using reader configurations

A reader configuration is a collection of properties that control various aspects of behavior and configuration for the clock.

The available configuration properties are static. You can change the value for each property for each reader configuration. A reader configuration becomes functional when it is associated with a reader group.

You can create several versions of your reader configuration as you refine your clock deployment. The previous version of the reader configuration can be used as the basis or reference for your new reader configuration. The start date and end date for each reader configuration determine which configuration is currently active.

WFM enforces certain rules regarding reader configuration start dates and modifying existing reader configurations and the reader groups that are associated with a reader configuration.
