After you assign the clock to a location, you must update the database to push the information for that location to the clock. The clock updates the database automatically at the interval or time specified in the config file, but you can also initiate a manual update.
To update the database manually:
- Go to the Administrator Mode screen.
- Tap Server Synchronization.
- In the Server Synchronization screen, tap Data Synchronization.
After you’ve updated the clock database for the first time, you can configure the clock and enroll employees for biometric verification and picture capture. For more information, see the appropriate sections of this guide.
For clocks operating in standalone mode, you can update the clock’s database remotely in Dayforce by selecting the Update Database checkbox in Site Setup > Clock Devices.
