Swipe order validation

Swipe order validation is used to control the sequence in which employees can perform clock swipes. The validation ensures that swipes are entered in a logical and permitted order, such as preventing an employee from clocking out before clocking in.

Swipe order validation is enforced at the time of the swipe. If a swipe violates the configured order rules, the swipe is rejected and a validation message is displayed on the clock.

When swipe order validation is enabled, the clock reviews the employee’s current punch and recent swipe history before accepting a new swipe. The validation is used to determine whether the requested swipe action is allowed based on the configured rules.
