Importing data from a time clock

Access: Time > Punch clock > Import punch clock data

1Under Punch entry selection, select a time clock under Format, if needed.
If there is only one format, it will appear in text format.

2Select the Punch code.
If the ZKTECO time clock is selected, click hmtoggle_plus1 here to display the features of certain fields. Otherwise, go to the next step.

▪Punch code displays ”All time clocks”.

▪Under Punch entry selection, the Start date, Start time, End date and End time are displayed.
The date and time of the oldest non-generated punch are displayed by default in the fields Start date and Start time. If no non-generated punch exists, the current date and time are displayed by default. As needed, modify the start date and start time and enter the end date and end time in the fields reserved for that purpose.

3Click on Browse under File location to select the file to import.

4If you wish to replace the punches previously imported, check the Replace duplicates box. However, if you want the system to reject a punch that has already been imported, leave the box unchecked.

5Click on Import.
A message confirms the import if all of the data was validated and imported without errors. Punch data is available under Time > Time summary. See Approving punch data and generating timesheets.

6If at least one error is detected, a message will appear and the import will be cancelled (no data will be imported). Correct the errors displayed in the Error list at the bottom of the screen. Start the import process over.

Important

Punch data cannot be imported as long as there are validation errors.
