Activating the Module

After you login to Hoteloni Administration or Control Panel go to Settings Modules page. You can filter or search for Punch Clock and click to activate the module, afterwards click to edit the module settings.

Once the module is active a new entry will appear on the main left side menu. Punch Clock. This is where users can set their work status and where you can manage and export all users data. But first let's take a look at the module settings.

Punch Clock Settings

Protect with Password forces staff members to insert their control panel password to change their work status.

Protect with Pin Number forces staff members to insert their pin number to change their work status.

Leaving the above 2 options off allows staff members can change their status with no specific protection.

Closed View. If On each user can only see himself. If Off staff members can view all other members work status.

Standalone Display. If On users do not need to login to punch the clock also, can be used for standalone clock in isolated areas like staff entries or security points.

Logout users after hours. If the staff member work status is at work, this setting automatically logs out members after the hours you set here. Useful if users forget to punch out. Default is 12 or 14. Insert 0 to disable.
