Devices

The Devices button opens a screen to display the input devices, such as badge readers, that the calculations process uses and that employees are authorized to use. In addition, devices can be added or deleted from this screen and a description for a device can be added or edited.

Note:

If the employee badges at an unauthorized device, an exception message prints during the calculations process.

Since this screen shows only the devices that are used by the calculations process, the devices that appear depend on how they are assigned.

When one or more devices are assigned directly to an employee, the employee is authorized to use only those devices.
When devices are assigned to an organization unit, employees whose home labor distributions are in this organization unit are authorized to use only those devices.
When no devices are assigned at any level, all devices can be used by the employee.

When devices are assigned to both the employee and the organization unit:

The calculation rules are processed using only the employee-assigned devices.

Only the employee-assigned devices appear on this screen.
