Software Operation flowchart
This software includes: system parameter, department management, employee maintenance,
shift management, employee leave and statistic report etc.. Then how to use this system in a
correct way? It is not enough to only understand the function of each module, but to know the
relation between them and the system operation flowchart. Thus, you can get the correct report.
Employee Software operation flowchart is as following.
1. When running the software for the first time, please set parameters including company name,
time attendance rule, statistic rule for early, late and overtime etc. Make sure the system
parameter is complied with the enterprise management requirement .When finishing the
parameters configuration; you do not need to modify the configuration unless the
management rules change.
2. Normally there are many departments in one company and all departments need to be input
manually unlike importing the employee list directly. Department setup should be completed
before employee maintenance.
3. When running the software for the first time, please make employee information in Text file (*.
txt) or MS Excel file (*.xls) format according to the requested format. For the requested
employee information format, please refer to the chapter [Import employee List] so that all

employee information can be imported to the system at one time. Employee can be added,
deleted, modified and transferred to new department in future.
4. According to different company work conditions, please edit the timetable (the period from
on-duty time to off-duty time) ahead and then set shifts.
5. After the shift setup, you must allocate the shift to employee. Each employee can only have
one shift each day. Please note the beginning date of the shift. After shift allocation, we can
see the arranged working date and time for employee clearly.
6. Attendance records are stored in the time attendance device. So please download the
records from the device before report calculation. In addition, employee information and
fingerprint templates can be uploaded and downloaded between the device and the software.
Please refer to Chapter 4 for more information.
7. There are always business leave, personal leave, clock forgot happen to the employee.
When the above cases happens, please deal with it in time in the software to ensure the
accuracy of the statistic report.
8. After all the above mentioned operations are finished, you can calculate and get the report.
You can get different statistic reports, such as the report of all employees / the report of some
department employee / the report of a certain time period.
In the software [Attendance Calculating and Report] interface, please select department
/employee and the beginning /ending date first, then press [Calculate]. The software will
automatically search and check the validity of the records. There will be some invalid records
stored the device, such as one employee may press his finger twice one time. Normally one of the
records will be regarded as invalid. If there is any error in the software calculation, the
administrator can modify the records manually to ensure the accuracy of the result.
Note: From the above flowchart, we can see that if there is any error in calculation report, the
possible reasons are as following,
Attendance rules setup is incorrect.
Employee shift or temporary shift is incorrect.
Dealing with employee business leave/personal leave/forgot clock in/out is incorrect.
Attendance records calculating and checking is incorrect.

4.4.2 Timetable and Shift
The relationship between shift and timetables:
Shift setup should be done in two steps: First, setup necessary timetables. Second,
setup shifts. One or more timetables can be included in one shift.
Timetable is the time period between On-duty and Off-duty required in the company rule.
For instance, the company rule requires the working hours be 08:00-12:00 and
13:00-17:00; so 08:00-12:00 and 13:00-17:00 are two timetables. If such a shift needs
to be setup, these two timetables should be setup first. Here, we use time table
morning to indicate 08:00-12:00 and time table afternoon to indicate 13:00-17:00;
so two timetables have been setup. (Please refer to the following chapter for details of
how to add time tables) and then we can add a shift such as Normal shift in which shift
cycle and cycle unit will be setup. Then we should add two timetables - morning and
afternoon so that a shift setup is completed. Brief introduction is mentioned here for
you to get a general picture of the relationship between timetable and shift. The details
of shift setup will be found in the next two sections.
Timetable maintenance:
Click [Timetable and Shift] in [TA Management] menu. The following window appears.
User Manual

Add a new timetable:
Click [Append] and enter the corresponding information:
[Timetable Name] For instance: Day Shift
[On duty Time] (08:00) [Off duty Time] (17:00)
[Begin Clock-in Time] (07:00) [End Clock-in Time] (13:00)
[Begin Clock-out Time] (16:00) [End Clock-out Time] (20:00),
[Late error allowance] (5) [Early error allowance] (5)
[Count as work day] (1)
[Count as work time XXX minutes] (480).
Tick [Must C-In] and [Must C-out],
Finally click [Save] to confirm.
Note: Every item should be setup in timetables with no blank left.
[Begin Clock-in Time] and [End Clock-in Time] setup the valid time period for clock-in.
Records out of this time range will be treated as invalid ones.
For instance [Begin Clock-in Time] is 07:00 and [End Clock-in Time] is 13:00. If clock-in
record is 07:01 or 12:59, they are valid records but if clock-in record is 06:59, it is invalid.
Besides, [Begin Clock-in Time] and [End Clock-in Time] can be more than one day
(meaning [End Clock-in Time] can be before [Begin Clock-in Time]) but it cant be longer
than 24 hours.
[Late error allowance] means how many minutes after [On duty] are treated as late.
[Early error allowance] means how many minutes before [End Clock-in Time] are
treated as early; [Count as work day] and [Count as work time XXX minutes] are used
in calculating business leave, leave, absence and overtime.
Checking [Must C-In] and [Must C-out] or not will affect the result of calculation. If [Must
C-In] is checked and the timetable is included of Employee As shift, he will be either
considered absence or treated according to [Not clock in count as late XXX minutes] in
[Parameter Settings] If he didnt clock in or ask for leave. Otherwise, even if there is off
duty record for him only, his attendance will be treated as normal.
