Attestation Buttons

1. Click Create
2. In the Create Attestation Button page, do the following:
   1. Enter a name. Names are limited to 50 characters.
   2. Note: If the name you enter is too long to be displayed on a standard button on the Punch tile, the system wraps the name and increases the height of the button as needed.
   2. (Optional) Enter a description.
   3. Button Type — Select one of the following:
      • Timecard Action — A button used exclusively for web-based timecards. When you select this button type, you must also select a button subtype from the Button Sub Type field and select Web from the Display Type drop-down list.
      • Punch — A generic punch category. When an employees clicks or taps this type of button, the system uses the punch interpretation rule to determine the punch type. The first punch of a day is usually recorded as an in-punch, the next punch as an out-punch, and so forth.
      • Punch In — An explicit punch-in time. The system captures the time and records it as an in-punch regardless of any other punches in the timestamp or device.
      • Punch Out — An explicit punch-out time. The system captures the time and records it as an out-punch regardless of any other punches in the timestamp or device.
      • New Shift — An explicit punch to start a new shift. The system captures the time and records it as the start of a new shift regardless of any other punches in the timestamp or device.
      • Break In — An explicit punch to end a break. The system captures the time and records it as the end of a break regardless of any other punches in the timestamp or device.
        
      • Workflow Only — This type of button captures the time but does not record it as a punch. This type of button could be used for employee to enter their tips or to add a pay code.
   4. Allow Transfer At Devices — Select the Yes check box if you want the Attestation workflow to enable transfers to a punch from a data collection device. The transfer is a real-time Smart View.
   5. Show Assignment At Devices — If available, select one of the following:

      Note: This option is displayed only if multiple assignments has been enabled in your environment.

      • Employee selects Assignment — Allows the employee to select their assignment when they punch. This is the default.
      • Schedule Assignment or Primary Assignment is used — The system uses the schedule assignment if one is configured; otherwise, it uses the employee's primary active assignment. When this option is selected, the Assignment field is not displayed on the device (clock or Quick Time Stamp); the Punch tile display is not affected by this setting.
   6. Punch Collection Time — Select one of the following:
   7. Capture time before attestation — Record the time before the user answers the question. Typically if it is an in-punch, the time should be recorded before the Attestation questions are asked.
   8. Capture time after attestation — Record the time after the user answers the question. Typically if it is an out-punch, the time should be recorded after the Attestation questions are asked.

   Note: Workflow-only buttons do not use this option. It is used only by the Universal Device Manager (UDM) Manages the configuration of terminals and communication with the system..
