Regarding the Fingertec TCMS V2.
ReplyDeleteI 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.

Hi Mohamad Yusri,
DeleteThank 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

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI would like to know if the software can be installed on multiple windows devices and share using the same DB. On the same network. Is it Possible?
Hello Ken,
DeleteGood 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,
Tengku Sulaiman

ReplyDeleteHello Ken,

Regarding to your query, Ingress is a server-client based software that supports time attendance & access control features.

V3 doesn't show attendance downloaded from USB. We have AC100C and it seems to work but shows nothing on screen
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI want to know if i got AC100 in my office, i want to install new AC100C at other location but the finger print / user is still the same and i don't want to re-enroll the user, is it possible to do so?
Dear Sir,
DeleteGood 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.
http://www.fingertectips.com/2016/08/tcms-v3-using-usb-flash-disk-for-data.html [ refer copying User from TCMS V3 into USB Flash Disk ]
Remark: You need to make sure both devices use the same Fingerprint Biobridge version , go to Go to Menu > System Info > Device Info
Despite the fact that the term 'Software patent' doesn't have a generally acknowledged definition. One definition proposed by the Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure is that a software patent is a "patent on any presentation of a PC acknowledged by methods for a PC program". gmail list of email addresses

ReplyDeleteWe 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
can my employee check the hrs worked on figertec 200plus?
ReplyDeleteHi,
DeleteYou 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.
