Creating a Manual Punch

Jamie Bridge
Updated

Scenario:  I need to add a punch for hours that I clocked in the past.

 

Good to know:  These types of punches are called "manual" punches because they are not being recorded live; instead, they're recorded after the fact. Your XPunch group manager must assign you to a role that allows for manual punches; otherwise, you'll need to consult with a group member that has a "Can manage punches" permission set so that they can add the punch on your behalf.

  

 

 

Step 1 - Open a punch dialogue
a gray menu (hamburger) icon  
  • Once you're logged on to XPunch, click on the menu icon.
a gray punches hourglass icon  
  • Click on the Punches hourglass from the menu bar.
Punches View Fast Action Button  
  • Hover or click on the "Punches" floating action button (FAB) to access a punch dialogue (perform a punch in, punch out, or create punch action).
Add or Create Fast Action Button  
  • Choose the "Create punch" FAB to create a new manual punch dialogue.

 

Step 2 - Complete the fields

  • Complete the fields in the punch dialogue.

    I do not have the option to add manual punch ins and my administrator is unsure why I do not. Please advise.

    I suspect that the "role" your administrator has assigned to you does not allow for manual punches.  You'll want to ask them to either:

    • create a role that includes manual punches, and then assign you to that role; or

    • assign you to a pre-existing role that includes manual punches. 

     

    When your administrator created the XPunch account, it came with a pre-existing roles of:

    • Full-time worker {Can punch manually)

    • Manager (Can punch manually)

    • Part-time worker (Cannot punch manually)
