Data Management

Download Transactions

The GLog is similar to Reports except that the file that is created will contain just the raw transactions. This can be ideal for importing your data into an application.

The data download has two options: 1) collect new transactions since the last download, and 2) collect all transactions on the time clock.

To get the raw transactions file:

1. Plug the BioLook flash drive into the side of the time clock
2. Press [Menu] and select Data Mgt
3. Select Down GLog to download only transactions since the last download, or Down All GLog to download all the transactions on the time clock
4. When finished, press [ESC] repeatedly to exit the menus or simply allow the menus to time out
5. Remove the flash drive from the time clock

You can now insert the flash drive into your computer to upload your clock data file(s) for further processing as desired.

Delete All Transactions

This function is rarely needed and should be used with caution as you will lose all transaction data on the time clock.

To remove all transactions from the clock:

1. Press [Menu] and select Data Mgt
2. Select Delete all GLog and press [OK]
3. The time clock will prompt you with “Delete?”, press [OK] to proceed or [ESC] to cancel
4. When finished, press [ESC] repeatedly to exit the menus or simply allow the menus to time out

Delete All Enrolled Users

This function is rarely needed and should be used with caution as you will remove all employees from the clock.

To remove all enrolled employees from the time clock:

1. Press [Menu] and select Data Mgt
2. Select Clean all enroll and press [OK]
3. The time clock will prompt you with “Delete?”, press [OK] to proceed or [ESC] to cancel
4. When finished, press [ESC] repeatedly to exit the menus or simply allow the menus to time out

Clear (Reset) All Manager Users

This function is rarely needed and should be used with caution as it will reset all Managers as users and access to the time clock settings will no longer be secured.

To reset all Manager users on the time clock:

1. Press [Menu] and select Data Mgt
2. Select Clean manager and press [OK]
3. The time clock will prompt you with “Continue?”, press [OK] to proceed or [ESC] to cancel
4. When finished, press [ESC] repeatedly to exit the menus or simply allow the menus to time out

Factory Reset

This function is only used when you want to clear all information from the time clock and return all settings to their factory defaults. Use with caution as you will lose all employees and transactions on the time clock.

To reset the time clock:

1. Press [Menu], select Data Mgt and press [OK]
2. Select Init System and press [OK]
3. The time clock will prompt you with “Continue?”, press [OK] to proceed or [ESC] to cancel
4. When finished, press [ESC] repeatedly to exit the menus or simply allow the menus to time out
