As a PeopleHR admin, with the Time Attendance Sync feature, you can pull information from your clock-in machine directly into employees' planners in the form of a timesheet. You can do this as often as you prefer.
Ensure you meet all the requirements below:
The clock-in machine you have is an Anviz or ZKTeco.
You have IT support or a member of staff who knows networking, firewalls, and internet servers to set this up.
You have a fixed IP address or use a DDNS service that provides you with a static hostname that acts as a fixed IP.
You have a fixed IP address for the clock-in machine.
You're happy to port forward or port map your rooter to the clock-in machine.
Match Clock IDs to Employee IDs
When you register an employee on your Anviz clock and record their biometric information such as fingerprint, the clock provides you with an ID. These IDs are all numeric. For example, the first person you register gets ID 1 and the second ID 2, and so on.
Within PeopleHR, you need to match the ID on the clock with the relevant employee.
Once you obtain the employee ID in your Anviz machine, enter this in the employee's employment record in Time & Attendance ID.
Run the Time Attendance Sync plugin
To set your Time Attendance Sync plugin to run, you need to create an API key with access to all Employee and Timesheet endpoints, and then copy it.
