Caffeine fuels many people’s mornings, but starting the workday can still be hectic. With voicemails, emails, early customers, and other sign-on tasks, employees may forget to clock in after logging into ERA-IGNITE.
But wouldn’t it be nice to sign on and clock in at the same time? Good news — you can!
Here’s how you can set this up:
Access a Record in Security Maintenance
After accessing the Security Maintenance application in ERA-IGNITE, search for the employee’s record by User ID or name within the Criteria section at the top of the User ID tab. Once the record appears in the Results section, double-click — or select and press Enter — to open the Basic Profile Information screen.
Auto Clock-In on Sign-On
Within the Timekeeping Setup section, check Auto Clock-In on Sign-On. This option automatically creates a timecard when the user signs on, eliminating the need to clock in manually through Time and Attendance.
Remember to save your changes. Press F12 to update the record once the adjustments are made. To confirm the update, look for Record Updated at the bottom of the screen.
This feature is not available if your dealership is still using ERA® for timecard creation and punching, as it is offered exclusively through ERA-IGNITE Timekeeping and Attendance. To upgrade, please contact your account manager.Â
Allowing an employee to clock in automatically when signing on is a significant time saver. Not only do employees enjoy the convenience, but it also saves managers time by eliminating mistakes and increasing timecard accuracy.
A mobile application, Mobile Time Clock, is also available for those who prefer to sign in using their smartphone. For more information, please contact your account manager.
