Clock Entry Authorization

You can configure the Dayforce Clock Pro and Clock+ so that employees can authorize their clock entries.

To configure this functionality, enable the punch_authorization tag in the clock’s config file. This tag has additional attributes:

• <number_of_weeks>: Sets how many weeks the clock shows in the Clock Entry Authorization screen.
• <allow_unauthorize>: Controls whether or not the clock lets employees revert their authorization for clock entries. When this attribute is set to no, the clock doesn’t show the Unauthorize button after employees authorized their clock entries.
• <show_raw_punch>: By default, the clock shows rounded clock entry times in the Clock Entry Authorization screen. With this attribute set to yes, the clock shows raw clock entry times instead.

To enable clock entry authorization on the clock:

1. Go to Site Setup > Clock Configuration.
2. In the Device Type drop-down list, select Dayforce Touch / Pro or Clock+.
3. In the second drop-down list, select Unified.
4. Select a clock configuration group.
5. Copy the following tag from the config file to the override config file, in the <functions id="functions"> section:
6. Copy

   <function id="punch_authorization" key="" icon="punch_authorization" number_of_weeks="2" allow_unauthorize="yes" show_raw_punch="no" />

7. Note: This function tag has additional attributes that aren’t listed in the XML above. Further, the attributes differ slightly for the Dayforce Clock Pro and Clock+.
6. Edit the attributes in this tag, as needed.
7. Save your changes, and then validate and publish.
