   • Enter the number of minutes between each synchronization in the Synchronize Every field. TimeIPS will automatically pull employee's scheduled start times for the week at this defined interval.

    

   • Enter the the total minutes allowed before and after the scheduled clock in times in the Allowable Minutes Before and Allowable Minutes After fields. The employee's start time and these values will populate the employee's TimeIPS schedule.
