Configuring buttons in the Virtual Clock

You can configure which buttons are displayed on the Virtual Clock by modifying the virtual.conf file, located in the installation directory.

You can hide function buttons by commenting out the appropriate lines in the file. Specify # at the beginning of each line. Each function button has four corresponding lines in the virtual.conf file, with the following format: 

employee.F#.oper =
employee.F#.extradata =
supervisor.F#.oper =
supervisor.F#.extradata =

Where # corresponds to the number of the function button, such as F3 or F4.

To hide the function buttons:

  1. Open the virtual.conf file with a text editor.
  2. Specify # at the beginning of each line that corresponds to the function button you want to hide.
  3. Save the virtual.conf file.
  4. Restart the the Virtual Clock.

The Enter Supervisor Mode and View Balance buttons are configured using different settings in the virtual.conf file: 

button.supervisor.visible = yes
button.balance.visible = yes

To hide either button:

  1. Open the virtual.conf file with a text editor.
  2. Change the value of the appropriate setting from yes to no.
  3. Save the virtual.conf file.
  4. Restart the Virtual Clock.

The Time Approval button is disabled by default and is configured using different settings in the virtual.conf file:

#employee.F1.oper = 98
#time.approval.function = 1

To activate the button:

  1. Open the virtual.conf file with a text editor.
  2. Delete the # at the beginning of each of the above 3 lines.
  3. Save the virtual.conf file.
  4. Open the language appropriate virtual_aa.conf file with a text editor (where aa is the language indicator. For example, virtual_en.conf for English).
  5. Delete the # at the beginning of the line:

    #employee.F1.label=Time Approval

  6. Save the virtual_aa.conf file.
  7. Restart the computer running the virtual clock.
