The General Options page allows you to set the display in the employee interface as well as the sort order and you can disable password changes by the employees too.
The Clock Tab allows you to set the display of the Employee Client program's time display, date and text color as seen below.
The Fields Tab sets the Employee Client's data to display, sort order and you can disable the employee's ability to change their own punch in and out password. We also have an option to add a 4 seconds delay when the employees punch in our out to allow time for any security cameras you may have to capture an image of who is punching in our out at a given time.
The Color Tab sets the colors used for punching in, on break and out in the employee time card display. This is for users that are color blind and you can set the colors that they can see on a particular computer.
The TCW Client Tab allows you to set up and use the Internet time servers for time punches.
In the TCW Client page is our best security feature. If your computers are on-line, you can use this feature to get the punch time from the Internet time servers. Whenever you set up for the first time or upgrade TCW, you will need to test the time servers. If you run a new installation, and are using Vista you will see a screen like you see below which you test one of the servers for the first time. It will also pop up the first time that you run the Employee Interface with this option turned on.
The next image shows a example of setting up the time servers. We've turned on the Time Client, added and selected the time servers to use and set the time interval to use at 5 minutes. Every five minutes, your employee interface will poll the time servers alternating every five minutes using the next in line.
