Select conversion method

Select conversion method
The system can convert clock data into attendance records in four different ways, as shown here. Clicking any one of these buttons will change the conversion method without warning you and you might not notice that this has happened until it causes problems. If you press a button by accident, reset the conversion method to its previous setting immediately.
 
Note that the conversion method selected has a bearing on time programme definitions and vice versa. Please feel free to contact us for advice.
11. Current method
The conversion method you are using is shown here. If, as in the example, it says UNDEFINED, a method has not yet been selected.
22. SINGLE CONVERSION
Use this option if you are running a farm or a simple business where staff arrive in the morning and depart in the evening, and are not able to leave the workplace for meal breaks. This is the simplest and easiest conversion method, as it will automatically deduct defined meal breaks and only requires two clockings per person per day.
33. PURE SINGLE CONVERSION
This is a simplified version of Single Conversion, and was designed to work with day shifts only, with a minimum of exceptions requiring user intervention. This is the preferred option for contractors working on site.
44. MULTIPLE CONVERSION
This is for cases where workers leave the premises during meal times e.g. a shop or office. It is also suitable for irregular working hours such as those in the restaurant or retail industry.
55. MANUAL CONVERSION
This option is normally useful only in really complex situations where employees cannot be relied on to clock frequently and the system then finds it difficult to analyze the clocking times. If you think this method will suit you, please contact us first before proceeding with it. It's a lot of work to do everything by hand.
