1. Overview

Admins can disable Location, Wi-Fi clock-in, field clock-in, and Time Clock Bluetooth clock-in directly on the mobile app, so that Organization Users can only clock in via facial recognition or fingerprint on the Time Clock.

2. Use cases

  • Employees clock in at a fixed Location.
  • Employees do not use mobile phones to clock in.
  • The Organization uses multiple clock-in methods at the same time.

⚠️ Notes:
  1. Time Clock check-in appears only after the Organization has bound a Time Clock. Once bound, Time Clock check-in is enabled by default. Simply clear the other clock-in methods.
  2. If the Organization has bound a Modian access control device, Time Clock check-in does not appear in the desktop clock-in methods, and the Modian access control device does not appear either. Only DingTalk Time Clocks bound on the mobile app are displayed.
  3. Only the mobile app supports binding devices.
  4. Whether using location-based clock-in, Wi-Fi clock-in, or Time Clock check-in, Employees can complete attendance with any one of these methods, and multiple methods can coexist. The available options depend on the clock-in methods selected by the Organization.
