Time Clock
Employees can use the time clock to clock in and out of work.
In the Manage Module, at the upper-right, is the Time Clock area.
See our webinar: Time Cards.
Before using the time clock, the following tasks must be completed.
Manage: Manage employee time cards, calculate daily/weekly totals, and run reports. See Manage Time Cards. Requires Edit All Time Cards Permission.
View Time Card: View or edit the selected employee's Time Card. Always enabled for the employee associated with the logged-in user. Requires Edit All Time Cards for use with other employees.
View Breaks: View or edit the selected employee's breaks in the Time Card. Always enabled for the employee associated with the logged-in user. Requires Edit All Time Cards for use with other employees.
View Schedule: Open Schedule for the selected employees.
Server Time: The server time is used to time stamp all events in the database (commlogs, audit trail, tasks, etc). This time is pulled from the server hosting the Open Dental database. If the time is changed on the server, a restart of the MySQL service may be required.
By default, the time displayed is the time of the server. To use a workstation's local time instead, see Miscellaneous Setup.
Clock In: Click an employee, then Clock In.
Clock Out For: Click an employee, select a status (Home, Lunch, Break), then click Clock Out For.
For an employee to list in the grid, they must be added in the Employees list.
When using clinics, the clinic selected in the Main Menu determines which employees are listed. When clocking in, this clinic is associated to the clock in event and subsequent clock out events.
Filter by Name: Search for an employee to narrow down Employee list. Automatically refreshes while typing.
