Button Function
Update Database button.

Tap this button to synchronize the clock’s database with the main application. The data that is updated includes the list of employees, schedules, job assignments, and dockets.

Submit Clock Entries button.

Tap this button to submit clock entries to the main application. Employees’ timesheets aren’t updated with time recorded on the clock until the clock entries have been submitted, either automatically at the interval or time specified in the config file, or manually by an administrator.

Submit Clock Entry Photos button.

If the clock is configured for picture capture, tap this button to submit the pictures the clock captured with clock entries to the main application.

This differs from submitting picture templates in that these are the pictures captured when users clock in and out, rather than the ones captured during photo enrollment.

Update Bio Templates button. If the clock is configured for biometric verification, tap this button to send recently enrolled or modified biometric templates to the server, and receive templates enrolled on other clocks.
Update Picture Templates button.
