Employee Time Card

[brian_harris]

Can you tell me if there is a way for an employee to view their log in and log out information in the system or even be able to print the report for there time alone without viewing other employees information? and if so what security level this requires?

 We have Softdent, employee can see there own clock in and clock out, List >Employees > select their name then select "time card".  All employees names will be listed but they can only see their information.  The only thing is you can not print it.

Hello Celina,

While that is true in the Softdent software, in PracticeWorks the timecards do not work in that way.  In PracticeWorks, when printing it's all or none, and in order to view the timecard without printing, it's within the employee's profile, this would give them access to be able to change any employee's information and timecard if someone choose to do so.  Access to this section is all or none as well.

I would also like to see an update include correct dates that you put in.  We set the preferences to start on Wed but I am always having to change the date as it starts on Sunday and prior to the day that I last ran the report.  If that could be addressed OR have a way it could be made into a report in the report manager.

This has been a concern mine as well. I would love to be able to set the default day of week somehow so I don't have to change it every single time I run a weekly report!

[pksaari79]

I agree.  I wrote something to this effect several months ago.  I am always afraid I will put in the incorrect dates.  If it would even default to what I have put in for preferences, that would be great.    And I do like the time card because I can find someone's personal time usage very quickly.

We have been using the time cards within Softdent. For the most part, it works well. There is need for tweaking in future updates and I believe this has been addressed previously.  You put in your preferences for day of week to start but when you go to run time cards, you always have to put in the dates.  It does not go to the day you selected as preferences or has no memory of the last time it was run.

Question - I put in an employee's holiday from 8 - 4.  They had an emergency and she was able to override the holiday and put in her time at the office, so she was not short changed and it did allow her to have both without upsetting her clock in or clock out.  We have staff meetings and if I put that in prior to the time, it won't let them clock in (staff meeting from 12 - 2).  SO.....will the time card feature override IF a time is already there (as in the holiday time) BUT not if the time is later than the clock in time.  I can't find an answer to this in the Softdent Help.

Good morning

Unfortunately, this thread is specifically for CS PracticeWorks users.  If you need to ask a question regarding the Timecards inside of CS Softdent please go here and add a new post with your question. We would be unequipped to answer your question here.

Sorry about that.....thought I was in Softdent.  Apparently similiar issues!!

This should be a future update because we have to deal with this too and I am sure many offices

I briefly discussed this overall topic (multiple reports being lumped together) with juriz.  He completely understood where I was coming from.  Not sure how readily it can be fixed though.

Not as quickly as I'd like. The record lock changes will take up most of the upcoming release. This is something we can look at for a follow up though.

Hello Brian

Unfortunately, it is not possible to make it so an employee can view their own time clock page or print outs without also having the ability to access other employees time cards, or having them all print out at once. The security access level would give access to all or none.
