Over-utilizing the knife too much?

When I first got married, there was only one meagre set of cutleries in my kitchen cabinet. It had a single butter knife, and I didn't really mind having to use it to both spread butter on my roll AND cut my steak, even though it was only excellent at one thing and crappy at others. But things have changed now, and I can proudly say that I've upgraded from that set of cutleries to one which had different knives, forks and spoons catered for specific situations. Food Life is better now, thank God. The situation is comparable to the dilemma of some TCMS V2 users. 

TCMS V2 is a comprehensive and powerful time attendance management tool and has been used with FingerTec devices for years, constantly evolving through the years to accumulate newer functions and satisfy more needs. However, TCMS V2 is not a cure-for-all and there are certain situations that may be better suited to Ingress, the integrated access control management application. Read more for the top 5 reasons why you should switch from TCMS V2 to Ingress.

In Ingress, the Advanced Access Control System, users can opt to use a USB flash disk to replace the need for a working Internet connection to connect to FingerTec terminals. This will enable the user to do the following:

1. Download user information from a terminal into a USB flash disk, and import them into Ingress for viewing and managing.

2. Export user information from Ingress into a USB flash disk, and upload the information to a terminal.

3. Download transaction logs (with clocking data) from a terminal into a USB flash disk, and import them into Ingress for viewing and managing. 

'Access Combo' is yet another access control function that is included in the powerful data management application, TCMS V2. Use this feature to heighten protection at a specific door, whereby verification needs to be done by a combination of different users. This is specifically suitable for high-security rooms or vaults that requires more than one senior-level employees from different departments (i.e.: Head of HR, Head of Marketing, CFO) to be present for verification. Read below to see how to apply the settings. 

TCMS V2 is a powerful time and attendance management application that, among its other functions, can automate payroll processes to improve overall efficiency and save organizational costs. Data presented in reports can be customized according to almost any working environment for user convenience. One example is the display of short minutes as shown below.

TCMS V2 is a comprehensive and powerful management software designed exclusively for FingerTec's facial, fingerprint and card system terminals. Part of what makes the software so flexible is its ability to export data for integration with third party applications. Read below for a step-by-step guide on how to export data from the  TCMS V2's Attendance Sheet into comma-separated value (CSV) format.

Open the TCMS V2 software > Attendance Sheet > Click Export.

Select the Employee ID and range of Date to be exported > Choose between Export Detail or Export Summary.

Tick on Delimited with double quotation mark and separated with comma > Click ASCII > Voila! The exported file will have the CSV formatting.
