Manual Updates Required for SuitePeople Workforce Management Time Clock and Mobile Apps

Important:

This change is targeted to be available in June 2024.

SuitePeople Workforce Management version 2.5.0 and SuitePeople Time Clock version 2.5.0, the mobile apps used with the SuitePeople Workforce Management (WFM) SuiteApp, deliver security updates to improve protection for app users.

If you use one or both apps to record any time punches, some of your data may have been captured when your iOS or Android device was offline. To make sure that all data are captured or recorded, you must perform the required actions to completely sync employee time with WFM servers.

  1. Before the upgrade release, turn off automatic updates on your mobile devices.

  2. After the upgrade release, complete the following steps.

    1. Connect your mobile device to a cellular or Wi-Fi connection.

    2. Open the SuitePeople Workforce Management or SuitePeople Time Clock mobile app

      The app will automatically sync with WFM servers and ensure that all employee time are saved. Any employee time punches recorded when devices were offline will be synced.

    3. Download the latest version of the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

    4. Turn on automatic updates.

    5. Repeat steps A to D for the other app.
