Enable Self-Service

The Dayforce Touch Clock provides self-service functionality similar to what is available in the main application and the mobile apps. For example, managers (or other users with necessary access) can view their employees’ profiles, manage tasks, and approve requests for time away from work. Similarly, employees can perform tasks such as viewing their schedule, updating their availability, and requesting time away from work.

Note: This section only specifies the changes you need to make to the custom config file to enable self-service. For more information about editing config files and publishing your configuration, see Configure the Clock Program.

To enable self-service on the clock, complete the following steps in the custom config file for the appropriate config group:

  1. In the <functions> section, specify the following:
  2. <function id="self_service" key=""
    class="com.dayforce.devices.android.function.
    SelfServiceFunction" icon="emp_menu">
    <show_in_toolbar>yes</show_in_toolbar>
    </function>
  3. By default, the clock shows the Self Service button in the toolbar at the bottom of the home screen. To configure the clock to show it in the “grid” of feature buttons instead, update the <show_in_toolbar> tag to no.
