User Settings for the GOtime5 Time Clock
User Settings for the GOtime5 Time Clock
Choose how each employee identifies themselves at the GOtime5 clock.
Each employee has an identification method that determines how they authenticate at the GOtime5 time clock. It is set individually on the employee's user profile in the TimeTrakGO web portal, so you can give different employees different methods on the same clock.
Employee Identification Method Options
What Each Option Requires
Before switching an employee to a method, make sure their profile has the values it needs.
| Setting | Needs on the Employee's Profile |
|---|---|
| Device Default | Whatever the clock's method uses: an enrolled fingerprint, a Badge ID, a User ID and PIN, or a combination |
| Badge Only | A Badge ID |
| ID & PIN | A User ID and a PIN |
How Settings Are Applied
The employee setting is the primary rule for that employee. When they punch, the clock checks their employee setting first. Only if it is Device Default does the clock fall back to its own Clock Setting.
Tip: For most teams, leave employees on Device Default and set the method once at the clock. Use Badge Only or ID & PIN for the individual exceptions.
