Lockouts

As the name implies, uAttend’s Lockout feature will essentially lock any punching capability for the time frame that you’ve defined. Learn more in the article below.

Notes:

• Supervisors can be configured with permissions to view and/or edit departments.  Their responsibility can also be limited to certain departments.
• Department-level settings and rules are inherited from the employee's home department.
• Lockout settings will not be applied to punches that were manually added to the timecard.
• Failure to punch out before a lockout will result in a missing punch that will have to be manually added to the timecard.  Use the Missed Punch widget to quickly identify and correct these incidents.

To configure lockouts for a department:

1. Log in to the uAttend cloud portal as an administrator or supervisor (with permissions).
2. Click on the Departments tab.
3. Click on the name of the intended department or click the magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner of the window to search for a department.
4. Click the Lockout tab.
5. Click the drop-down menu and select the YES option for each day you intend to configure lockouts for.
6. Enter the Earliest In Time and Latest Out Time for each day of the schedule for this department.
7. Click the SAVE button.
