The configuration process includes reviewing and accepting the license agreement, entering basic company information and creating an "Administrative Employee." The configuration process usually just takes a few minutes. Once completed, you can add and edit all settings and employee records as needed.
The Administrative EmployeeThe employee created on the initial configuration screen will be an "Administrative Employee." This employee will initially have full administrative privileges and will have access to all parts of the system and system settings. This employee will be able to assign permissions to other employees, and with the optional IPSPRM Enterprise Permissions Module, can create and maintain permissions profiles. |
Once TimeIPS has been connected to your network, you will need a PC or laptop with a web browser to navigate to the IP address shown on the TimeIPS LCD display. (After the boot process is completed, select "Configure Network" on the initial menu, then "Show Network Info" to view the current IP address.)
It is essential that you begin by creating OverTime Policies and Workweek Groups for your employees to belong to when you add them. Please read Understanding Overtime Policies and Workweek Groups and be sure that when adding employees, you assign them to an appropriate Workweek group.
You can manually enter your employees into TimeIPS (see instructions below) or you can import the employee data from a spreadsheet. (See Importing/Updating Employee, Department, or Site Information.)
An employee's first and last name and a unique identifier (such as an employee number or badge number) are all that are initially required to set up an employee record. However, TimeIPS has the ability to maintain a vast array of employee details. Additional employee information can be added or edited at any time after the employee record has been created.
For initial setup, we recommend you prepare a list of your employees by first and last name and a unique identifier, such as an employee number or badge number.
