How Many Time Device Export Data Configurations to Create

You can link only one time device export data configuration to each device processing profile. Create a separate export data configuration for each unique combination of data that you regularly send to the time collection device.

Examples of export data are:

  • Person identification data, such as first and last name and badge ID
  • Other data, such as payroll time types and published WFM schedules

Use these questions to help you decide how many export data configurations you need to create:

  • What data does the time device require to provide complete time event records?
  • What data, if any, do people require when they report time using the device? For example, you require people to select their location when they report time.

Because Web Clock is part of the standard Time and Labor solution, you don't have to create and send export data to provide relevant information.
