Clock Configuration Options Explained Important! Proper fingerprint Placement

Employee Settings for GOtime5

Here is a breakdown of the employee settings for the GOtime5 time clock. These are configured individually for each employee within the TimeTrakGO software and determine how they can authenticate at the clock.

Employee Identification Method Options

 

• Badge Only: This is for employees who only need to use their assigned badge to clock in and out. The clock will read the employee's Badge ID, which is a value stored in their user profile. This setting is useful for situations where fingerprints or PINs are not preferred or available.
• Device Default: This setting allows the employee to use whatever the main Clock Setting is for the GOtime5 device they are using. For example, if the clock is set to "Fingerprint Only", the employee will use their fingerprint. If it's set to "User ID + PIN", they will use their User ID and PIN, both of which are values stored in their user profile. This provides flexibility and simplifies administration.
• ID & PIN: This setting requires the employee to enter both their unique User ID and a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to authenticate. Both of these fields are configured and stored in their user profile within the TimeTrakGO software. This method is a secure alternative to biometric or badge-based authentication.

How Settings are Applied

The employee setting is the primary rule for an individual's authentication at the GOtime5 clock. The clock will first check the employee's specific setting and then, if applicable, the main clock setting. This layered approach ensures that each employee can be configured with the most appropriate and secure method for their role and work environment.
