  1. Regarding the Fingertec TCMS V2.

    I encounter an issue whereby when I tested to post 1st half of FEBRUARY attendance to SAGE payroll and tended to choose 1st - 14th at Fingertec, the result captured in SAGE UBS payroll was in the 2nd half (in other words, is considered by SAGE as whole-month input of attendance).
    I have to choose 1st - 15th at Fingertec as half-monthly attendance then only the posting can be done,Fingertec can only recognize "from ... to 15th" as half month posting.
    May I know,how to solve this problem ?
    Please advise, Thank you.

    2. Hi Mohamad Yusri,

      Thank you for your prompt reply, after following as what you guide me to do, the "from xx to 14th FEB" posting as half monthly pay in SAGE UBS still not able to be solved.
      I've tried around and found that only "from xx to 15th" chosen in FT, the posting will go to 1st half of pay in SAGE UBS Payroll.
      Is there any setting in FT that I can set particularly for FEBRUARY use up to 14th FEB ?
      Please advise, thank you very much.

      Best regards,
      Calvin

    1. Hello Ken,

      Good day.

      If you want to install the software to multiple PC, you can use our Ingress software which have the server and client version. You just need to install 1 server version and other PC just use client version which is connected to the server. You can install the client up to 5 PC. You just need to make sure that the server can be access from other PC so that you can connect the database from the server without any problem.

      Thanks and best regards,

    1. Dear Sir,

      Good day to you,

      Currently those devices are connected via TCP/IP to the same software or not? If yes, you can upload the users' details via your software. Besides that, another option you can also upload the details via USB pendrive too.

      Remark: You need to make sure both devices use the same Fingerprint Biobridge version , go to Go to Menu > System Info > Device Info

  8. We as a whole realize that time is cash. So instead of attempting to be a Jack-everything being equal, start off with a sensible number of social organizations that have a more extensive client profile. SMM Panel

    1. Hi,

      You could not check the work hours on the device as it only consists of raw clocking data. To check the work hours, you will need to install the TCMSv3 software. https://www.fingertec.com/softwareupdate/TCMSV3/software-tcmsv3_download_e.html

      Please email us at fingertec@support.com if there is any other issue.
