After configuration, you can access the Clock by typing the URL the client uses to access the application followed by “/clock/index.html”. For example, a client who accesses the application at “company.dayforce.com” would access the Clock at “company.dayforce.com/clock/index.html”.
Important: This URL must be entered in all lowercase in order for offline mode to function.
The first time you visit this URL on a new computer, the application shows the registration screen:
To register a Clock on the computer, type the company ID that the client uses for the main application in the Namespace field, and then specify the clock name and (if configured) the security code.
If you prefer, you can also register the clock via URL. The format for this functionality is as follows:
https://test.dayforcehcm.com/clock/index.html?cn=
<Clock Name>&sc=<Encoded Security Code>&ns=<Namespace>
Where <Clock Name>
is replaced with the appropriate Clock name, as defined in the Device Name (MAC Address) field in Site Setup > Clock Devices; <Encoded Security Code>
is replaced with the encoded value of the Security Code field in Pay Setup > Clock Devices; <Namespace>
is replaced with your organization's namespace or the Company ID used to log in to the main application.
Note: You can register multiple Clock devices with the same name under a different namespace in the same site. The application uses a combination of the clock's name and its namespace to uniquely identify each clock.
