Add Punch Widget

Add punches to your employees’ timecards right from the dashboard. With this widget, you can add punches for a single employee or an entire department.  Use it for future group events or off-site meetings and tasks.

Notes:

• You can customize your dashboard to enable or disable and rearrange the widgets displayed for you.
• Supervisors will only see data from their responsible departments on their dashboards.
• The Add Punch Widget will only work for same-day punches. Future or past punches must be manually added to the timecard.
• Employees do not have access to the dashboard.
