Bulk Clock
Clock an entire department in or out at once — useful for teams that start and finish together, or when the app is unavailable in the field.
When to Use Bulk Clock
Bulk Clock is designed for situations where clocking individually is impractical:
- Field teams without phone signal who cannot use the iOS app.
- Large groups that all arrive and leave at the same time.
- Recovery when the app was unavailable for a shift.
How to Bulk Clock a Department
- Select the Department from the dropdown.
- Choose the Clock Type: Clock In or Clock Out.
- Set the Date and Time. It defaults to now but can be adjusted to record a past shift.
- Review the employee list that appears — deselect any individuals who were absent or who clocked separately.
- Click Clock Selected Employees.
Bulk Clock checks for existing clock-in records before adding each employee. Anyone who already has a clock-in for the selected date is automatically skipped — a count of skipped employees is shown after the operation so you know who was excluded. You can still deselect individuals manually before clicking the button if you know in advance they clocked in separately.
Permissions
Access to Bulk Clock is controlled by the Bulk clock in/out entire department capability. Supervisors can be granted this without giving them full admin access. See Roles & Capabilities.
