Name/Address page
Link
The link field is the unique identifier used for the employee. This field is automatically assigned by Power Clock. There should never be a need to modify this field. This field may only be changed when you add a new employee. The only time you might need to change the Link is if you somehow lost your employee file and you need to rebuild it. When re-entering the employee records, enter the link code that was previously used for each employee so that their time records will match.
ID
Enter a unique identifier for the employee. This can be the employee's initials, phone number, social security number, employee number, or any other alphanumeric identifier you choose. This field can be changed at any time.
Active
Check this field if the employee is currently active. Only active employees can clock in and Log in.
Card Barcode
The code from the employee's barcoded card. The card is used to clock in and out if you're using the Power Clock barcode scanner.
Click the scan button to scan the code directly into the employee record.
Override config show scan dialog
Check this box to override the setting from the workstation record.
Show clock in/out screen after scan
If you choose to override the workstation setting then this option will be used when the employee card is scanned through the barcode scanner. If this box is checked then the clock in/out screen will be shown when the employee scans their card. The employee ID will already be filled in on the clock in/out screen and they won't be able to change it.
Name, Address, Tax ID

Department
The employee's department. If a department manager is logged in, this field determines what records are shown on reports and in the time record browse. Only those employees matching the manager's department will be shown.
