Enhancement of Data Audit List in TimeTec TA



Introduction
Users can fill in the company name and contact person in the TA App for traceability. Therefore, these data are added in the clocking remark column from the data audit list, data audit list report and mobile location report.

1.       Device > Data Audit List – Clocking Remark Popup
In the data audit list, it is clickable under the clocking remark column to see the clocking remark's pop-up details, including the mentioned company name, contact person, and the reason input from the mobile app during the clocking.



2.       Data Audit List Report - Added New Columns for Company Name & Customer Name
Similarly, the data audit list under the report section can view the clocking remark details in the generated report. Because this data is generated to be downloaded as a file, the pop-up view is not included. Thus, you can view the details directly from the report itself with its column.

3.       Mobile Location Tracking Report – Added New Columns for Company Name & Customer Name
While the mobile location tracking report provides the mobile clocking location and its coordinates, the clocking remark details are also included in this report, as it comes from the mobile GPS clocking.

TimeTec TA - How To Export Data Audit List Into A Customized File Format


Introduction
In TimeTec TA, Data Audit List allows users to view all clocking activities along with their details such as clocking date-time, location, reporting channel, etc. That said, we now provide an ‘Export’ function which allows users to export the Data Audit List into a customized file format for a third party system. To know more about the procedure, please refer to the steps below:

Process:
1. To export the Data Audit List, proceed to Data Audit List under Device module and the Export button is located at the top right corner as shown in the screenshot.
 



2.  After clicking on the Export button, a pop-up window: ‘Export Data Audit List’ will be displayed. Hence, users may select the range of records by Device, Mobile or even both options. If Device is chosen, users will have to select the Terminal ID from the drop-down list located beside the option. Next, select the user as well as the date range of the data that the users wish to export. Click ‘Next’ to proceed.




3.   Moving on, users have to input the export format. After selecting the desired export format, click ‘Verify’ and confirm whether the format is correctly configured.

Troubleshoot Missing Attendance Data in TimeTec TA


Introduction:
Missing attendance data within the Electronic Time Card report is most often caused by a few issues such as wrong issuance, expired date, no group duty roster assigned and no clocking data in the device itself. Therefore, we’ve prepared some tips on how to troubleshoot this issue in order to identify the exact root cause of the problem.

Process:
A. Check if the user’s raw data is available in the Data Audit List report
1. Go to Report > Device Analysis > Data Audit List


2.  Search for the User ID of the employee, choose the correct date range(date range where the data is missing on the Electronic Time Card report) and then click on the Submit button.



3.  Check if there is any data listed on the Data Audit List report. If the data is available on this report, please proceed to Step B. If the data is not available, kindly check the connection status of the device and please ensure that the device is connected.

B. Check the user’s Issuance Date and Expiry Date
1. Go to User > Manage User


2. Search for the User ID of the employee and then click on the Settings button.


3.   Check the Issuance Date and Expiry Date and make sure that both dates are correct and then click on the Tick icon. (Issuance Date is the period when the employee has joined in the workforce while Expiry Date is the period when the employee has resigned from the workforce.) Note that if the employee is still working, please do not fill in the Expiry Date field.


4.  Please double check on the Electronic Time Card report after you have made the changes to the Issuance Date or Expiry Date. If the same problem still persists on the report, kindly proceed to Step C.

C. Re-Assign the User to Group Duty Roster
1. Go to Schedules > Assign Schedules and Users into Roster.


2. Click the ‘+’ button on the User’s Duty Roster.


3.   Search for the User ID of the employee, then tick the box beside the User ID and click on the Submit button.


4.   A Generate Attendance window will be displayed. Hence, choose the correct Start Date and End Date. Once done, click on the Submit button.
 

5.   After the generation process is completed, please generate the Electronic Time Card report again and check if the same problem still persists. If the problem still persists, kindly report the problem to TimeTec Support Team at support@timeteccloud.com.
