ID
This is a unique numeric field used to identify the location. It's a good idea to sequentially number your locations. Start with number zero for the first location or central office. You can not enter a number already used by another location.
For example, if you have Power Clock installed at your office, the location ID would be zero and the name would be something like "Home Office". Let us say you also have a restaurant in another part of town where you want to track your employees' hours. Add another location record with a name like "Restaurant 1" and an ID of one.
NOTE: The ID can only be changed when you add a new location record.
Current
Checking this field makes this location the active location for this site. Each separate physical location in your Power Clock network will have a different location marked as current. When any modification is made to the data files, Power Clock uses the current location ID to track the changes. Only one location may be marked as current on each installation of Power Clock. In the example above, location zero is marked current on the office computer and "Restaurant 1" is marked current on the restaurant computer.
Do not make the same location current at two different physical locations. Power Clock will not be able to track the data properly. When polling the locations, no data will be transferred.
Once a location record is marked current, make sure it stays marked current at the location. If you make another location current and you have already been using Power Clock with another location current, then some of your records will not be transferred during polling and your reports will not group the hours worked properly.
Name and Address
Enter a unique name and address for the location. The name and address may be changed at any time. The location name is printed on many reports.
Location Manager
Enter the employee ID of the manager of this location. This is a lookup field. This field is optional.
