Daily Summary (displayed during clock out)

  1. When you end your shift (by using Clock Out button on the Employee Home Screen), you will see a Daily Summary prompt
  2. This screen shows punches done at any TouchBase clock for today.
  3. You can tap on any punch to see the photo that was taken with a given punch
  4. After reviewing the punch summary, make a selection as follows:
    1. I Approve: Indicates that you agree with punch summary info and want to proceed
    2. Something is Wrong: Indicates that you believe something is wrong with the punches displaying for today. The system will record your “disapproval” but it will be up to you (the employee) to follow up with your supervisor to correct the perceived issue. See second screen shot for message that will display on clock if this selection is made.
  5. Regardless of what selection is made, your CLOCK OUT punch will be submitted
  6. If no selection is made within 15 seconds, the screen will timeout and automatically submit the CLOCK OUT in same way as if you selected Continue.

*note that “web punches” or punches inputted directly on timesheets will not show here. This screen only shows punches from TouchBase clocks.

Language Button on Sign In screen

On the Employee Sign In screen (screen which shows clock keypad), there is a Language button. By default, it is set to English. However, if an employee prefers to see messages in Spanish, they can tap this button and select “Espanol”. The clock will remember the employee’s language selection and display text in Spanish for the next punch attempt (rest of employees will continue to see English).
If they ever need to change back to a different language, they will need to key-in their number first and then select the language that the clock stored as their Default language and then select the language they would like to change to and hit the Go button.
