Clock Validation Rule for ETM

To prevent employee swipes from unauthorized locations (for instance, on their way to work), a clock IP validation rule will validate whether a clock swipe is permitted from the originating session's IP address. As a WFM administrator, you can create an IP Address Whitelist that defines the range of acceptable IP addresses for clock swipes.

The workflow for setting this up is as follows:

  • Use a clock IP validation rule that is associated with a reader type such as ETM. This is pre-configured for reader types in WFM.
  • Create an IP Address Whitelist with the acceptable range of IP addresses for your employees.
  • Create an IP Address Group that contains all of the IP Address Whitelists for a particular reader type. Reader types can contain multiple IP Address Groups which are used group IP addresses into a logical set.
