With an alert policy, you can receive notifications each time your employees punch in. You can also configure the policy so that employees receive notifications. This article explains how.
You can use other guides to be alerted when employees:
Set up punch notifications
Log in to Fingercheck as an Administrator.
Click the SETUP tab > Policies > Alert Policies.
Click Add.
In the Code and Description fields, enter a code and brief description to label the policy.
Select the Action Type. The options are:
Email
Text
Phone
All
Notification
Depending on the Action Type option you selected, complete the corresponding fields in the Alert Policy Information section.
If you selected Email, you can enter multiple email addresses into the Email field separated by commas.
If you selected Text or Phone, enter a phone number in the Phone field.
If you selected Notification to be alerted by push notification, select the users you want to be notified from the Available Users list. The selected names are added to the Selected Users list.
From the Alert Rules section at the bottom of the window, click Add.
The Edit Alert Rule pop-up window appears.
From the Alert Type drop-down list, select Punch - Notify after punch.
Select the Enabled checkbox to enable the rule.
Select the checkboxes next to each punch type you want to receive alerts for.
Scroll down to see all of the options.
To notify employees of their own punches by email, text, or push notification, select the Notify<Option> checkboxes.
To add a message to any notifications you selected in the previous step, type a notification message in the NotifyEmployeeMessage field.
Click Apply.
(Optional) Build multiple alert rules within this policy to receive multiple alerts such as alerts when employees take long breaks or when employees miss a punch.
Click Save.
Add the alert policy to the master profile
After you've created an alert policy, you need to add the alert policy to the master profile.
Log in to Fingercheck as an Administrator.
Click the SETUP tab > System > Master Profiles.
Open the master profile of the employees you want the alert applied to.
From the Alert Policy drop-down list, select the alert policy you created.
Click Save.
