Changing Display Groups in Virtual TimeClock

Virtual TimeClock Knowledge Base

Changing Groups

After you've created and configured a new display group, you will be able to switch between groups in administration mode and/or set the appropriate display group for your employee time clock(s). This article will walk you through both ways to use display groups.

Note: If you are new to display groups, see the Overview of Display Groups article.

Switching Between Groups as Administrator
When you are logged into Administration Mode, you can easily switch between your display groups to view different employees. This is especially helpful for monitoring attendance at multiple locations or viewing and exporting reports based on a group of users.

With Administration Mode turned on, click the display group pop-up menu in the lower right-hand corner of the In & Out Board and choose a different group name. You will also find several program groups that can be used to view large sets of your workers.

Important: Any reports you view in Administration Mode are contextual to the current group you are viewing.
