When attendance doesn't reach your software or payroll, check that the device is online (fixed IP, same network), the device time is correct, users have the same IDs in the device and the software, and the software downloads logs on schedule. Most 'missing' clock-ins are still stored in the device and can be downloaded once the connection is fixed.
Key takeaways
- Logs usually stay on the device until downloaded.
- Give the device a fixed IP address.
- Wrong device time puts punches on the wrong day.
- User IDs must match between device and software.
- Schedule automatic downloads.
