Configuring Eco Time
Enable IMPRO under Bells & Whistles.
Set up a connection to the Impro database.
Set the "Last collect date & time" back to the date from which the client would like to import the transactions.
Enable all import sync options under device setup.
Open the Eco Time Server.
If you would like to import certain transactions / clockings as Payroll only, configure the following after step 2!
Set the "Last collect date & time" to today
Open the Eco Time server (This will import the system controllers & terminals only)
Set the respective terminals to the required setting, Payroll or Access
Close the Eco Time server & set the "Last collect date & time" back to the intended date.
Open the Eco Time Server (All transaction / clockings made on terminals set as Payroll will be flagged as payroll transactions / clockings in Eco Time)
Eco Time will import the following information from the Impro Database:
System Controllers & Terminals
Employee Number, Name & Surname
Cards
Companies & Departments
Transactions / Clockings
The following aspects may affect the duration for Eco Time to import all information:
Whether Eco Time has to access the Impro database hosted on a different PC over the network.
The amount of transactions stored in the Impro database as history.
The processing power & disk write speeds of the PC hosting Eco Time.
Once all information has been imported:
Confirm that all Terminals, Cards, Employees, Companies, Departments & Transactions match that of the Impro software.
Do a FIX on all BAD & DUPLICATE clockings.
Do a verify data.
Hide the "Access Rights, Time Zone & Current Area" fields in Browse Employees & Browse clockings screens.
Schedule a process for the required payroll period.
Note, after a process there may be many errors, which need to be fixed by the wage operator. Complete the rest of the configuration as per the shift requirements & project scope!
This is a good time to test your connection to the Impro database using the administrative tool under Control Panel!
